Prince Harryis just monkeying around!
The royal headed to Dr. Jane Goodall’sRoots & ShootsGlobal Leadership Meeting on Tuesday. The gathering allowed Harry to stay close to his Frogmore Cottage home withMeghan Markleand son Archie, born May 6, as it took place at St. George’s House, also on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
Harry, 34, met with Dr. Goodall, the renowned conservationist famous for her study of social interactions of wild chimpanzees, before learning about the Roots & Shoots program.
Dr. Goodall asked Harry if he remembered the “chimp greeting” from when they previously met. The royal then put on his best impression, approaching her as if he was a male chimp and she was a nervous female chimp. He then patted her on the head, encouraging her to embrace him in a hug!
The duo also did a little impromptu dancing!
“The pair share an impromptu dance and ‘Chimpanzee Greeting’ which Jane taught The Duke when they first met. Today’s event was full of education, inspiration and fun. Because working hard and playing hard are not mutually exclusive… 🐒” a video of the sweet moments was captioned on the @SussexRoyal Instagram page.
