Prince Harry to visit Malawi with his newly baby

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan will travel to Africa with their baby son Archie on a commercial flight in September, a royal source told CNN on Friday, after they were criticized for using private jets in August.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will head to South Africa together, while Harry will also visit Angola, Malawi and Botswana between September 23 and October 2, Buckingham Palace revealed on Friday.

It will be their first official overseas trip as a family, as Meghan returns from maternity leave, and will focus on “community, grassroots leadership, women’s and girls’ rights, mental health, HIV/AIDs and the environment.”

The family’s decision to fly commercial after they were criticized for using private jets to fly to the south of France and Ibiza in two trips just days apart.

Environmental campaigners accused the pair of hypocrisy, saying that Harry and Meghan’s actions contradict their public stance on climate change, given aviation is one of the world’s major polluters and is responsible for more than 2% of global emissions.

The pair have tried to redeem themselves since, with Harry announcing earlier this week that the couple were launching a global sustainable travel initiative, known as Travalyst.

Harry commented on the criticism during a question-and-answer session, telling reporters that he spends “99% of my life traveling the world by commercial,” according to Britain’s Press Association (PA) news agency.
