Amongst the David Beckhams, George Clooneys, Tom Hardys and Elton Johns of the world, was an African orphan who Prince Harry met for the very first time 14 years ago.
In attendance at the wedding, besides the more obvious of guests, were 200 people from various charities that the royal family have helped throughout the years.
Harry and Mutsu
Within that select group was 18-year-old Mutsu Potsane, who met Prince Harry when he was just four-years-old.
It was during a mission to help children with HIV and AIDS in the African country of Lesotho that Harry, then just 19 himself, came into contact with Mutsu for the very first time.
Mutsu lived in an orphanage outside Lesotho’s capital of Maseru.
The two instantly struck up a friendship, and Mutsu followed Harry everywhere he went. Merely two years later, Harry, together with Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso, founded the charity organization ‘Sentabale’… ‘Forget Me Not’.
The aim of the organization was to assist and give hope to children with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana. Over the years, Harry has returned to Lesotho several times, and every time he has been greeted by his friend Mutsu.
Representatives from Sentebale
Fittingly, it was finally Mutsu’s turn to visit Prince Harry. Mutsu was one of ten representatives from the Sentebale organization present as Harry married on Saturday.
It’s proof that the British prince really does have his mother’s heart.
Of course, Prince Seeiso was also at the wedding.
“I’ve come here with all the wishes of Lesotho, I’m not here on my own behalf I’m here representing the entire nation who are so happy,” Prince Seeiso said, as per British newspaper the Daily Mail.
Mutsu, who was amongst the first to congratulate the newly married couple, is doing well today and enjoying his studies.
