Prince Harry Visits Lesotho With His Charity Sentebale

This photo is AMAZING. Frankly, I regret that it is not my holiday card, because I love it.

Nothing like a little hard labor in a hard hat to start your day. I imagine the dude supervising him gave him something he could potentially ruin without the entire structure collapsing.

"See, guys, everyone DOES look hotter in sunglasses. Right? Don't you think? No? Hmm."

I am relieved that Harry is still on top of teaching kids the importance of the high five.

I can only assume this is his Facebook profile picture right now. (I also think we need to acknowledge that all of Harry's jeans on this trip are totally normal Cute Dude Jeans. THERE IS HOPE. PLEASE SPEAK TO YOUR BROTHER ABOUT THIS ISSUE. That would also be, really, an act of charity.)

Additionally, Harry took a bunch of photos on the trip himself, mostly of smaller kids. I thought this one, though, was the most striking piece of portraiture. (You can see more of them here.)

"Dude, you are TERRIBLE AT MAKING BEAD NECKLACES. I cannot even deal with how bad you are at this! Don't quit your day job."

I ALSO want to snuggle this child in his hat and his overalls and his little striped top.

An unimpressed baby is a cute baby, and this child is both.

"FINALLY, someone ELSE is planting the freaking tree." (This someone else is Prince Seeiso, of Lesotho, who has also probably planted many a tree in his day.)

Even I, avowed hater of the Public Ugg, cannot resist these little pink ones on this little person.

Happy Holidays INDEED.

Royally Played: Prince Harry

At the beginning of the month, Harry went to Lesotho, Africa, to visit his charity project there, which provides a variety of help -- education, healthcare -- to kids who've been orphaned by the AIDS crisis in the country (which is quite severe; one in three kids in Lesotho is an orphan). A) This is a serious and important cause, and good on him for being, from what I can tell from behind my computer all the way across the world, wearing yoga pants and sticking Peppermint Joe Joe's into my maw, really committed to it. Harry has really done a lot of Good Works this year, both with this charity and all his work with veterans and the Invictus Games and whatnot. I can but assume his Gran will sneak an extra orange into the bottom of his stocking this Christmas as a reward. B) Not to take away from these pertinent and important issues, but these kids are extremely cute and the pictures from this trip are really great and extremely forearm-y. (One can be interested in Important Issues and admire people's forearms whilst they gambol with adorable children. We all contain multitudes.)
