KWAZULU NATAL: PRINCE CHARLES AND PRINCE HARRY VISIT ZULU VILLAGE

(3 Nov 1997) English/Nat Britain’s Prince Charles and his youngest son Harry continued their “African safari“ on Monday with a visit to a school in a remote Zulu village. They were treated to some traditional Zulu dancing and given handcrafted gifts by local women. Prince Harry seemed to take the visit in his stride: it was only his second public appearance since his mother, Diana Princess of Wales, died two months ago. Prince Harry looked a little shy and nervous - until an acrobatic fur-clad dancer came hurtling towards him. The performance by Zulu dancers could hardly have been more different from that by the British pop group, The Spice Girls, whom Harry saw on Sunday. Both the young boy and his father Prince Charles seemed relaxed and cheerful as they received gifts from the village. Harry seemed to particularly enjoy the sight of his father tasting traditional beer from a clay calabash. The villagers also seemed delighted. After visiting the Ubuhlebemvelo High School, which had received a donation of books from Britain, Prince Charles said he had a personal connection with the new library. SOUNDBITE: “I was very glad to find that a book I wrote for my younger brothers, gracious me, 25 years ago I think, called The Old Man of Lochnagar -- it’s a Scottish story -- is also part of this collection of books. Whoever decided that had a great deal of tact and diplomacy.“ SUPER CAPTION: HRH Prince Charles The two royals were asked to leave their mark on the village by pressing their hands into wet concrete in a plaque.
