Prince Harry dances with children as Prince Seeiso of Lesotho looks on at the opening of  Sentebale's Mamohato Children's Center, Nov. 26, in Maseru, Lesotho.

Prince Harry returned to his favorite continent Thursday for another long visit to Africa on behalf of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and on behalf of his African children's charity.

Harry began a week-long tour of Lesotho and South Africa, aiming to boost Sentebale, the charity he co-founded nearly 10 years ago with his pal, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, in memory of their late mothers, Queen Mamohato and Princess Diana.

The trip will include activities Harry is known to be skilled at doing  — competitive polo and playing with cute kids.

The tour began Thursday with Harry in a suit, meeting with Lesotho's King Letsie III, with various Lesotho government officials, and with the British High Commissioner in the mountain kingdom.

But soon he was in jeans and polo shirt, outdoors in the brilliant African sunlight celebrating the official opening of Sentebale's Mamohato Children's Center, the first facility for Lesotho's disadvantaged orphaned children with HIV/AIDs.

Still sporting the ginger beard he grew during his three-month summer conservation mission in Africa, Harry worked his usual magic, greeting the kids, dancing and generally charming all.

Kensington Palace press officials on the trip seemed to be having fun tweeting about Harry's adventures.

But he had serious matters on his mind, as well.

Other highlights of Harry's tour will include playing in the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup, in Cape Town, to raise funds for Sentebale; a meeting with Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu; and a series of engagements to highlight social issues facing young people in South Africa and projects to aimed at addressing them.

He also will pay a return visit to Kruger National Park, where he spent some of his summer, to promote anti-poaching efforts; and will visit the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg, where will meet the late South African leader's widow, Graca Machel, and tour the private archives of the Center for Memory.
