Prince Harryis taking hisInstagram skillsto a new level!
During the day, Harry will post images from National Geographic photographers “highlighting indigenous trees and our shared responsibility in preserving what we have and so desperately need to survive,” the palace said.
The account’s 123 million followers will then be invited to share their own pictures of trees from around the world.
In his first post, Harry shared a personal photo he took of trees in Malawi. The royal was seen lying on the ground as he pointed his camera up towards the sky to capture the shot.

“Hi everyone! I’m so happy to have the opportunity to continue working with @NatGeo and to guest-edit this Instagram account; it’s one of my personal favourites. Today I’m in Liwonde National Park, Malawi an important stop on our official tour of Southern Africa, planting trees for The Queens Commonwealth Canopy. As part of this takeover, I am inviting you to be a part of our ‘Looking Up’ social campaign. To help launch the campaign, here is a photograph I took today here in Liwonde of Baobab trees,” he wrote.
Harry visited Liwonde National Park in Malawi on Monday as part of the ongoing campaign to secure forests around the globe under theQueen’s Commonwealth Canopy, an initiative that began in 2015 as a network of forest conservation programs throughout the 53 countries of the Commonwealth.

“As The Queen’s Commonwealth Youth Ambassador, I am particularly proud of how this program will create a physical legacy of Her Majesty’s leadership of the Commonwealth – not just for our generation, but for our children, and their children too.”

Harry and wifeMeghan Marklelaunched their Instagram account, @SussexRoyal, earlier this year. They are currently sharing behind-the-scenes moments from their Africa tour.
On Sunday, Harry opened up about his passion for conservation efforts inThe Daily Telegraph, writing: “Nature teaches us the importance of a circular system, one where nothing goes to waste and everything has a role to play.”

He went on to say that everyone has to appreciate the need for animals and humans to “co-exist” to guarantee the survival of the planet.
“This may well sound hippy to some. But we cannot afford to have a ‘them and us’ mentality. Humans and animals and their habitats fundamentally need to co-exist of within the next 10 years our problems will become even more unmanageable.”
Harry — who will reunite with Meghan and sonArchiewhen he returns to South Africa later this week — says he has seen through his work with African Parks that communities need to be “incentivized to safeguard and manage their natural assets – be it water, trees or wildlife.”
