Harry sticks to the script



The Duke of Sussex says there is "a race against time" to halt global warming, adding that he is "troubled" by climate change deniers.

"I don't believe that there's anybody in this world that can deny science," he said.

He called it "an emergency", adding "the world's children are striking" after teenage activist Greta Thunberg led a worldwide protest on Friday.

Prince Harry is visiting Botswana as part of a tour of southern Africa.

He says it was the place he went to "to get away from it all" after his mother's death.

The duke had visited the country soon after Diana, Princess of Wales, died in August 1997 and had made "some of my closest friends" there.

"Now I feel deeply connected to this place and to Africa," he said during a visit to the Chobe Tree Reserve.

Strange how politically correct it is to display a soft spot for Africa, the spiritual home of kleptocracy.

Perhaps he would like to stay there forever, might do him some good!

Chobe is fine if you have money, lots.
Botswana is lovely country with lovely people, but it is doomed because of its neighbours; corrupt and impoverished states with refugees who enter Botswana for horn, ivory and bush meat.

The last time a royal married an exotically unsuitable American divorcee, he had the sense to lie low in Paris for the rest of his life. There's no need to go and bother Africans with your fashionable wibble, Harry.

Kleptocracy and murder.

Scrobs - do us some good too.

Doonhamer - maybe Harry could tour Africa and present Botswana as the example all African countries should follow. He may even want to do that but somehow I think not.

Sam - I bet his wife would never let him lie low. She seems to view the royalty business as just another celebrity game.

James - and it seems to be getting worse in some places.

I reckon he is trying to get in line to be the next Pope

Graeme - or maybe Meghan thinks they can upstage the Pope.
