Meghan Markle and Prince Harry share a previously unseen photo from 2017

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry share a special photo from before their relationship went public.

As fans of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will know, they first started dated in 2017 and travelled to Botswana after just a few weeks of dating.

The reason for the trip was a special one, working with non-profit organisation Elephants Without Borders.

This week, the couple announced their new Instagram account, Sussex Royal, and it features updates from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The most recent post includes five photos, one of which features Harry and Meghan during their trip to Botswana assisting Dr. Mike Chase in equipping a bull elephant with a satellite collar.

Harry is president of African Parks Network and he is dedicated to campaigning for the protection of endangered wildlife and communities.

Last night, he attended the premiere of David Attenborough’s Our Planet alongside his father and brother, Prince Charles and Prince William at the National History Museum.

The Duke of Sussex attends the ‘Our Planet’ premiere at the Natural History Museum with The Prince of Wales and The Duke of Cambridge, lending their joint support for the protection of our environment. As president of @africanparksnetwork, The Duke of Sussex continues to advocate for the communities and wildlife that coexist in some of the most vulnerable environments around the world. Be it human wildlife conflict or natural disasters, these communities (park rangers, school children, families) are on the frontline of conservation and we must do more to help them as we also work to safeguard the animals and landscapes that are in critical danger. A few recent photos that look back on: Prince Harry’s long time commitment to this cause as well as a glimpse into the work he and The Duchess of Sussex did in 2017. Their Royal Highnesses travelled to Botswana to assist Dr. Mike Chase of Elephants Without Borders in equipping a bull elephant with a satellite collar. Approximately 100 elephants are poached/killed every day for their ivory tusks. Using satellite technology allows conservationists to track their critical migratory patterns and to protect them and the local communities from human wildlife conflict. The elephant pictured was sedated for just 10 minutes before he was up and back with his herd. Tracking his movements has allowed conservationists to better protect him and other elephants and ensure heightened protection for these beautiful creatures moving forward. Credit: Image 1 PA

The caption for the post explains how Prince Harry is hugely committed to this cause and how he and Meghan wanted to do what they can do to help.

An estimated 100 elephants are poached/killed every day for their ivory tusks and by equipping the elephant pictured with a satellite collar, conservationists are now better able to protect him.

It’s a busy time for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with the duo expecting their first child this month, according to reports. Meghan is currently taking maternity leave while Prince Harry is said to have been very broody at recent public engagements, could he be any sweeter?!
