No, Harry isn’t proudly displaying a hunting trophy where a human shows how hardcore they are by murdering an unarmed animal.

He’s actually doing quite the opposite, a photo in the Kruger showing him hugging an injured elephant and causing ovaries to explode around the world. Here’s the Guardian:

The 31-year-old, who spent three months in the summer working as a wildlife conservation volunteer, released a selection of his own photographs and videos to highlight the threat to elephants and rhinos from poachers…

That picture then with the prince’s caption below:

After a very long day in Kruger national park, with five rhinos sent to new homes and three elephants freed from their collars – like this sedated female – I decided to take a moment. I know how lucky I am to have these experiences, but hearing stories from people on the ground about how bad the situation really is upset and frustrated me. How can it be that 30,000 elephants were slaughtered last year alone? And for what? Their tusks? Seeing huge carcasses of rhinos and elephants scattered across Africa with their horns and tusks missing is a pointless waste of beauty.

He also shared some pictures of the rhinos he came across:

Hopefully he can persuade some people in high places to place greater emphasis on preserving these two species, we really could use all the help we can get.
