Years ago, when Harry was emotionally distraught over the death of Princess Diana’s mother, he went to South Africa for an extended holiday. Queen Elizabeth II’s grandson sought comfort and tranquility in a foreign land. Botswana groomed the august heir. Since then, the prince has visited the republic every year.
“I’ve been coming here for fifteen years, this sense of escapism – a real sense of purpose… I’ve had some of my closest friends here over the years,” said Harry.
In Africa, Harry met a married couple, Mike Holding and Tanya Jenkins, who own the wildlife documentary company AfricScreen. During the darkest time, the couple helped the red-haired prince cope with his grief and take a fresh look at life. Harry considers Mike and Tanya his second parents, who have contributed more to his upbringing than his mother and father.
“I have a second family there. A group of friends who literally raised me,” says the prince of Botswana.
Lady Di’s youngest son formed a particularly close relationship with Tanya Jenkins. The woman gives Harry the motherly love she desperately needs to this day.
Interestingly, Harry’s father, now King Charles III, was once very concerned about his friendship with a couple from Botswana. The fact that the son spent all his holidays under the supervision of strangers angered the heir of Elizabeth II.
In 2017, we add Megan Markle found out about Harry’s second family. The prince has taken his fiancée to Africa for a visit. Even the bride of the august child was soon imbued with sentimental feelings for a warm country. The former actress’ engagement ring features a huge Botswana diamond and two diamonds from Princess Diana’s private collection.
