Harry and Meghan Pay Tribute to Jane Goodall, Recall Sweet Moment with Son Archie

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have paid tribute to Jane Goodall, calling the late conservationist a visionary and a friend to their family.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have honored the late Jane Goodall with a heartfelt tribute. The world-renowned conservationist and animal welfare advocate died on October 1 in Los Angeles at the age of 91, her institute confirmed. She had been on a speaking tour at the time.

In a statement, Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, described Goodall as "a visionary humanitarian, scientist, friend to the planet, and friend to us." They recalled how she once held their son, Archie, as a newborn, noting that her compassion extended both publicly and privately.

Harry first met Goodall in December 2018, when he invited her to Kensington Palace to discuss environmental issues. She was later recognized for her life's work in 2004, when Harry’s father, now King Charles, made her a Dame.
