Prince Harry shares his fears for son Archie's future

As president of African Parks, Prince Harry recently penned a letter to the organization's new annual report, in which he talked about his 1-year-old son Archie.

The Duke of Sussex, who has 12-month-old son Archie with his wife Meghan Markle, said fatherhood has made him more concerned about the environment amid climate crisis.

The 35-year-old royal wants to make sure Archie and other young children are able to live lives "full of possibility and opportunity".

Harry, in a letter written for African Parks, explained: "We are currently living through an extinction crisis, and now a global pandemic that has shaken us to our core and brought the world to a standstill. On the extinction crisis the science is clear: we have perhaps a decade to course correct before we lock in our fate. On this pandemic, while much is still unknown, some evidence suggests that the virus' origins may be linked to our exploitation of nature. The gravity of these challenges is coming to light, but we must not be paralysed by them.

"Since becoming a father, I feel the pressure is even greater to ensure we can give our children the future they deserve, a future that hasn't been taken from them, and a future full of possibility and opportunity. I want us all to be able to tell our children that yes, we saw this coming, and with the determination and help from an extraordinary group of committed individuals, we did what was needed to restore these essential ecosystems."

Alongside fighting against climate change, Harry and Meghan have been working to help relief efforts amid the coronavirus pandemic.
