  • Prince Harry welcomed the Luengue-Luiana National Park as the newest member of The Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy during his royal tour of Africa.
  • The Commonwealth Canopy is a “network of forest conservation initiatives to preserve forests for future generations,” according to the palace.
  • The conservation area Harry just unveiled will help protect an ancient elephant migration route.

Prince Harry is making time for one of his favorite causes during his royal tour of Africa.

The Duke of Sussex turned out in Angola to unveil the latest member of The Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy, the Luengue-Luiana National Park, the palace announced Saturday on the official Royal Family Instagram.

“The Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy is a unique network of forest conservation initiatives to preserve forests for future generations,” the palace wrote on Instagram. “Involving all 53 countries of the Commonwealth, the @QueensCanopy will mark Her Majesty’s lifetime of service to the Commonwealth.”

The palace shared a gallery of several photos from Harry’s trip (as well as one of the Queen, just for good measure) and a video of Harry unveiling the official Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy sign at Luengue-Luiana National Park.

Harry’s big moment is a tiny bit awkward thanks to some wind and a blustery blanket, but the overall effect is endearing and sweet, just like Harry always is.
