PRINCE Harry has been reunited with the teenage African orphan he first met 11 years ago.
Harry met Mutsu Potsane — who was aged just four at the time — during his
gap year.
The little boy was living in a Lesotho orphanage after losing both of his parents to AIDS.
Harry and Mutsu formed a strong bond, with the Prince famously giving the boy a pair of blue gumboots.
The pair have kept in close contact over the years and correspond regularly, the Mail Online reports.
