Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan celebrated the World Elephant Day by sharing some never-before-seen pictures from their trip to Botswana in 2017. The royal couple visited the African country two years ago, just months before they announced their engagement.
The six pictures posted on their Instagram official account show Prince Harry approaching an elephant, and Duchess Meghan's hand while she pets an elephant; images of elephants in the wild were also shared by the royal couple. For a long time, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have been drawing attention to the work they are doing with Elephants Without Borders, a charitable organization dedicated to conserving wildlife and natural resources.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently announced that they will visit Africa this fall, and that their son Archie, who was born on May 6th will come along, which means that it will be their first official tour as a family! The royals plan to visit South Africa, while Prince Harry will make stops in Malawi and Angola.
