Here are some photos of Prince Harry at last night’s WellChild Gala Concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Harry went business-casual for the event, with a nice blue suit, crisp white shirt and no tie. This is a great summer look for a prince or a peasant!
As we discussed yesterday, Prince Harry was recently seen looking rather cozy and flirty with actress Jenna Coleman, a brunette. There really was some photo evidence of this flirtation too, which was interesting. My current theory is that Harry is still “single” but he enjoys a good mingle, possibly with ex-girlfriends and possibly with attractive actresses. He’s not currently looking for The One, mostly because he’s about to spend three months in Africa. People Magazine says that Harry will be leaving soon, so he’ll probably miss his niece’s christening.
Prince Harry may be widely tipped as a possible godfather to his niece Princess Charlotte, but he won’t be in attendance when the special ceremony takes place on July 5, PEOPLE has learned. Harry – who was on a royal tour Down Under for Charlotte’s May 2 birth – is likely to be in Africa, at the beginning of his three-month visit to the continent as he pursues conservation work there following his upcoming departure from the army.
While his exit date has not been confirmed, the 30-year-old prince is expected to have said his goodbyes from military life by the end of the month and, in the short term, immerse himself in helping the cause of wildlife in Africa and the ongoing battle against the illegal trade in animal parts.
Prince William and Princess Kate have said that they will welcome family and friends to St. Mary Magdalene Church on the Queen’s Sandringham estate for the private christening of their daughter. The church, where the late Princess Diana was also christened, is only a couple of miles from their country home, Anmer Hall.
Harry, who announced earlier this year that he was leaving the army after a decade of service, explained last month that he is eager to join one of South Africa’s top veterinarians to learn more about the cause that is close to his heart.
“For me, it’s three months of hard grafting, working with animals,” he told British newspapers The Sun and The Sunday Times. “To actually get the chance to embed myself with the top vet in southern Africa, travel with him for three weeks and every job he gets called up to do. That’s like my dream.”
It’s also been reported that he will head to Namibia to help efforts to save the black rhino. The palace would not comment on the details of his upcoming plans.

Do you think it’s notable that Harry isn’t going to stick around for his niece’s christening? I do not. I do think it’s notable that Harry – famously kid-friendly – barely has any contact with his niece and nephew. But I think this three-month trip to South Africa and Namibia (and probably other countries as well) is more about Harry finally doing something he’s always wanted to do now that he’s resigned from his military career. I’m also assuming he’s just staying in England through this next weekend, which is Trooping the Colour.
