"1. Prince Harry continues their late mom's mission-
Princess Diana's childrens' charity work.
By The Associated Press
Saturday, September 18, 2004
" In a new documentary about his volunteer work with AIDS victims in Africa, Prince Harry, son of the late Princess Diana, said he's determined to carry on her legacy.

The 20-year-old royal said all the bad "stuff that's come out" about his mother in the media is a shame, given all the good she did as a high-profile volunteer in charity work around the world.

"I believe I've got a lot of my mother in me, basically, and I think she'd want us to do this, me and my brother," he said of his work with AIDS orphans.

Harry was interviewed at length for a documentary he made during his stay in the AIDS-stricken southern African nation of Lesotho during the year he took off between high school and college.

"The Forgotten Kingdom: Prince Harry in Lesotho" contains his first ever on-camera interview and will be broadcast in Britain on TV station ITV1 on Sunday. It shows him playing with AIDS orphans and striking up a special friendship with one of them, 4-year-old Mutsu Potsane.

Diana, Prince Charles' former wife, died in a car crash in Paris in 1997. She was known for her AIDS charity work, breaking taboos through her close contact with patients. "

2. "Britain's Prince Harry Wants to Carry on Diana's Charity Work
Sept. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Britain's Prince Harry, third in line to the throne, says he wants to honor the legacy of his mother, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, by continuing her charity work, especially among victims of AIDS.
``I always wanted to go to an AIDS country to carry on my mother's legacy as much as I can,'' said Prince Harry in a documentary filmed in the southern Africa country of Lesotho, according to ITV television's Web site.

The British royal, who turned 20 on Wednesday, gave his first on-camera interview in the ITV documentary that follows him through Lesotho's southern district of Mohole's Hook, where he worked with HIV positive orphans at the Mantis's Children's Home.

Lesotho, an enclave within South Africa slightly smaller that the U.S. state of Maryland, has one of the highest HIV/AIDS rates in Africa with over 80 percent of the population suffering from the disease. About 65 percent of those affected are women and children, according to Positive Action, an AIDS charity.

Prince Harry hopes that his documentary will help raise awareness and money for Lesotho, said a spokeswoman for the prince in a telephone interview in London. Donations are already coming in from around the world, the spokeswoman who declined to be further identified said.

The youngest son of Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, and Princess Diana was just 13 when his mother died in a car crash in Paris in August 1997. His older brother Prince William was 15.

``If people think of the most important humanitarian figures of the 20th century, she was right up there; she was willing to use her celebrity to break down boundaries,'' said Andrew Parkas, chief executive of the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fund in a telephone interview in London. ``She was willing at a time when people were still frightened of AIDS, to reach out to them as human beings. That was a tremendous contribution.''

In the documentary, Prince Harry said, ``I believe I've got a lot of my mother in me, basically, and I think she'd want us to do this, me and my brother,'' according to the ITV Web site.

The two princes are a focus of media attention and the royal family often issues statements that express ``concern and disappointment'' that the media doesn't leave them alone.

`Try to Be Normal'
``William and I try to be normal; it's very difficult, but you know, we are who we are,'' Harry said when asked in the ITV film about newspaper criticism of his charity work and his party-boy image. ``I'm not converted. I've always been like this. This is my side that no one gets to see.''

Prince Harry will continue to visit Lesotho to see how it is progressing but he will be concentrating on his career in the army, the spokeswoman said. He is expected to enter the U.K. military academy Sandhurst in January.

``The Forgotten Kingdom; Prince Harry in Lesotho,'' which airs on ITV on Sunday, also contains interviews with the doctors, aid workers, and Prince Seiko, the brother of Lesotho's King Elsie III who helped the British royal arrange his trip and volunteer work.

London | September 06, 2004 3:53:09 PM IST Prince Harry who has made a documentary about his experiences with children suffering from aids, in Lesotho hopes to raise more than 250,000 pounds from it.
