Prince Shows Multilingual Talents By Speaking Arabic

Prince Harry has tried his hand at speaking Arabic while giving a speech at a fundraising dinner in Dubai for his charity Sentebale.

The prince, dressed in black tie for the event, told guests their money would not disappear into a "box" but would support a "unique initiative" and "change lives".
"Tonight, as you have already been told, you can be part of something very special, and 'why is that' I hear you say? Well, since February this year we at Sentebale have been on a fundraising campaign across the globe and it's basically so that we can build the first purpose-built Mamohato Children's Centre of Excellence within Lesotho, just outside Maseru, the capital," he said in English.

"This is essentially an opportunity to support a unique initiative. Your money is not being thrown into a box where you never know where it is going to go which I know happens a lot around the world," he continued.
"The beauty of this is you know where your money is going - it's going into a foundation, into brickwork as such and it will be there forever and it will be a home to thousands of children coming through for a two-week programme, being able to essentially change their lives."
The prince then thanked guests for their support and wished the United Arab Emirates (UAE) well in its bid to host the World Expo 2020.

"Thank you for your attendance. I wish Dubai 2020 success," he said in Arabic.
Earlier, the prince met singer Joss Stone and TV presenter Denise Van Outen at a reception ahead of the Forget Me Not charity dinner.
The Dubai visit follows a two-day trip to Australia where the prince joined in the celebrations to mark the centenary of the Royal Australian Navy.
