Sussex Royal Instagram Shares A Loved-Up Pic Of Prince Harry & Meghan Markle For Earth Day

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle showed us just how much they love the planet (and each other) in a loved-up post on Earth Day.

The royal couple took to Instagram on Monday to share a photo from their trip to New Zealand and a few impressive snaps taken by the Duke of Sussex himself.

“The above image, Royal Highnesses in Rotorua, New Zealand,” the caption mentioned about the first photo of Harry and Meghan holding hands as they walk through a forest of Redwood trees.

“Of the 170 different species originally planted in the early 1900’s, only a handful of species, including these majestic Redwoods, remain today,” the caption continued.

The photos that follow include a black and white photo of a rhino, a stunning shot of an African river covered in ash, an impressively close-up shot of a lion’s eye, Orca whales swimming in unison and more.

Today is #earthday – an opportunity to learn about, celebrate and continue to safeguard our planet, our home. The above, Their Royal Highnesses in Rotorua, New Zealand. Of the 170 different species originally planted in the early 1900’s, only a handful of species, including these majestic Redwoods, remain today. Next, we invite you to scroll through a series of 9 photos taken by The Duke of Sussex©️DOS sharing his environmental POV including: Africa’s Unicorn, the rhino. These magnificent animals have survived ice ages and giant crocodiles, amongst other things! They have adapted to earth’s changing climate continually for over 30 million years. Yet here we are in 2019 where their biggest threat is us. A critical ecosystem, Botswana’s Okavango Delta sustains millions of people and an abundance of wildlife. Huge bush fires, predominantly started by humans, are altering the entire river system; the ash kills the fish as the flood comes in and the trees that don’t burn become next year’s kindling. Desert lions are critically endangered due partly to human wildlife conflict, habitat encroachment and climate change. 96% of mammals on our 🌍 are either livestock or humans, meaning only 4% remaining are wild animals. Orca and Humpback whale populations are recovering in Norway thanks to the protection of their fisheries. Proof that fishing sustainably can benefit us all. Roughly 3/4 of Guyana is forested, its forests are highly diverse with 1,263 known species of wildlife and 6,409 species of plants. Many countries continue to try and deforest there for the global demand for timber. We all now know the damage plastics are causing to our oceans. Micro plastics are also ending up in our food source, creating not just environmental problems for our planet but medical problems for ourselves too. When a fenced area passes its carrying capacity for elephants, they start to encroach into farmland causing havoc for communities. Here @AfricanParksNetwork relocated 500 Elephants to another park within Malawi to reduce the pressure on human wildlife conflict and create more dispersed tourism. Every one of us can make a difference, not just today but everyday #earthday

Needless to say, Prince Harry definitely has an eye for photography!

“Every one of us can make a difference, not just today but every day,” the caption concluded.

The long-winded post in honor of the Earth comes just days after rumors spread that the royal couple could be spending a lot of time in Africa in the near future.

The Sunday Times reported over the weekend that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may move to Africa on official business of the Commonwealth after the arrival of Baby Sussex.

A royal reporter tweeted on Sunday that Buckingham Palace is considering the move a real possibility for the pair.

Buckingham Palace is not denying a report that officials have discussed sending Harry and Meghan to Africa as a way of capitalising on their appeal to young people in the Commonwealth – and of putting further distance between them and the Cambridges.

However, no official plans have been made and “The Duke will continue to fulfill his role as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador.”

Buckingham Palace: “Any future plans for The Duke and Duchess are speculative at this stage. No decisions have been taken about future roles.
“The Duke will continue to fulfil his role as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador.”
