Harry’s First 30 - Part 5 - The Mischief Maker While in Africa, Harry helped orphaned children in Lesotho and created a documentary called The Forgotten Kingdom in order to raise awareness for the issues that the country faced. The film helped to raise over $2 million for the British Red Cross Lesotho Fund. Harry’s time in Lesotho shocked him greatly after witnessing the terrible experiences that some of the children of Lesotho had gone through. This trip has stayed with Harry ever since and influenced him to set up the charity Sentebale with the help of Prince Seeiso. The Sentebale website states: ‘Sentebale is a charity founded by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. We help the most vulnerable children in Lesotho get the support they need to lead healthy and productive lives. Sentebale works with local grassroots organisations to help these children – the victims of extreme poverty and Lesotho’s HIV/AIDS epidemic. Together, we’re making a big difference to these children’s lives. We can do even more with your help.’ Since then, Harry has worked tirelessly to promote Sentebale‘s work in order to help the children of Lesotho. Harry found himself on the front pages of some newspapers again in January 2005 when he was photographed wearing a Nazi styled uniform at a costume party. Many people branded him as being insensitive. Following a public outcry, the Prince released a statement saying: “I am very sorry if I caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone. It was a poor choice of costume and I apologise.” A few months later in April 2005, Prince Harry joined his brother for the wedding of their father, Prince Charles, to Camilla Parker Bowles. When speaking to the press at the time, Harry said: “She’s always been very close to me and William. She’s not the wicked stepmother. She’s a wonderful woman and she’s made our father very, very happy which is the most important thing”.
