Prince Harry has launched a charity to help orphaned children with AIDS in the African kingdom of Lesotho. The 21-year-old says he was inspired by the work of his mother, Princess Diana, who was a leading activist against the disease.

“I suppose it’s one time when you can really use your name to raise money. And if I’m going to use it for anything what more of a better opportunity than to use it here,” he said. Harry, who is third in line to the British throne, recently graduated from the elite Sanhurst military academy. He is said to have his mother’s natural ability with children.
