Prince Harry says saving endangered elephants is ‘God’s test’ for humanity in heartfelt interview with US mag
Royal, 32, who is currently dating Meghan Markle, says if we fail to protect animals, humanity could be extinct too
PRINCE Harry has declared that saving endangered wildlife is “God’s test” for humanity.
The royal, 32, fears that if we fail to stop animals like elephants becoming extinct mankind could go the same way.
He told US mag Town & Country: “We need to look after them because otherwise our children will not have a chance to see what we have seen.
“This is God’s test: if we can’t save some animals in a wilderness area, what else can’t we do.”
The prince told of his love for Africa, where he joined conservationists safeguarding Malawi’s elephants. A bonus about visiting the continent is “to not get recognised”.
Harry said: “I feel more like myself than anywhere else in the world.
“I have this intense sense of complete normality.”
The prince is currently dating US actress Meghan Markle.
Meghan, 35, spent a week in London with Harry in December, who she enjoyed her first public appearance with — a picture The Sun exclusively revealed.
She returned to the east coast Canadian city of Toronto where she lives and films legal drama Suits.
She plays senior paralegal Rachel Zane in the show, which she has spent much of the year filming scenes for.
The first episode since her relationship with Harry was revealed will hit screens in January.
The Prince spent three weeks this summer helping to catch anaesthetised elephants and load them on trucks.
