African Parks president Prince Harry made special mention of his "late grandfather" as the conservation NGO re-released their Hope Starts Here video in recognition of Earth Day on Thursday.

"On this Earth Day, I reflect on generations of conservation champions, including my late grandfather, and feel proud and energised to continue doing my part in this legacy," he said in a statement, per People. "This year especially, I join the incredible African Parks team and communities around the world in shared dedication to our environment and collective wellbeing."

Prince Harry has long championed various causes across Africa – the Duke of Sussex is also a patron of the Rhino Conservation Botswana and co-founded Sentebale with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, a charity to support young people affected by HIV and AIDS – and has called the continent his "second home".

Upon his visit in 2019 with Meghan Markle and a then-newborn Archie, which also included a stay in South Africa, he said of Cape Town: "We just came from Cape Town, that would be an amazing place for us to base ourselves."
