Prince Harry
The 30-year-old prince is heading to South Africa at the request of the Foreign Office and the visit is seen as being key to furthering relations between the two countries.
Judith Macgregor, British High Commissioner to South Africa, said: "The visit will showcase the wide range of co-operation between our countries as well as offer an excellent platform to further develop the partnerships between the UK and South Africa and Lesotho."
Earlier this year, Prince Harry walked away from his military career to pursue other interests, saying he was "looking forward" to the future.
At the time, the prince said: "Inevitably most good things come to an end and I am at a crossroads in my military career. Luckily for me, I will continue to wear the uniform and mix with fellow servicemen and women for the rest of my life."
He added: "I am considering the options for the future and I am really excited about the possibilities ... so while I am finishing one part of my life, I am getting straight into a new chapter. I am really looking forward to it."
