Prince Harry: Diana would be proud of charity

[July 08, 2008]  BUTHA-BUTHE, Lesotho (AP) -- Prince Harry says his mother would be proud of the work he and his regiment are doing to revamp a school for disabled children in the impoverished African kingdom of Lesotho.

Prince Harry was speaking Tuesday at the Thuso Center in a village outside the Lesotho capital, Maseru.

Prince Harry says he pushed wheelbarrows, filled trenches and worked up a sweat, saying: "It would be wrong for a patron of a charity to not get involved."

He is in the country with his regiment, the Household Cavalry, assisting with projects run by Sentebale, the charity the prince set up in his mother's memory with Prince Sessio of Lesotho.
