Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Wanted to Raise Their Children in Africa
Prior to leaving their roles as senior Royals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were planning a move to Africa. The 88-year-old zoologist Dame Jane Goodall, a longtime personal friend of The Duke of Sussex, claimed that Harry was determined to raise son Archie "running barefoot with African children", the Daily Mail reported.
The connection between Prince Harry and Dame Jane Goodall has been well-documented. In an interview for the British Vogue issue that Meghan edited in 2019, Dame Jane Goodall discussed meeting and cuddling Archie.
