Harry will visit Lesotho, a small country in Southern Africa, on behalf of his charity Sentebale where he will open the newly-built Mamohato Children’s Centre, a facility to help kids living with HIV.

The young Prince’s work with people suffering from HIV is one that is close his heart and reminiscent of Princess Diana’s courageous work in that field.

Famously, Diana was the first member of the royal family to come into contact with a person who had AIDS and, at a time when people believed the illness could be contracted by casual contact, she held the hands of patients.

Princess Diana broke the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS by becoming the first member of the Royal Family to make contact with a person suffering from the illness.
