Prince Harry is an army man, a royal, a brother and—Santa Claus?

Hey, he's a man of many hats! On this particular occasion, though, the 30-year-old Sentebale charity co-founder was wearing some festive Christmas gear as he bonded with children in Lesotho.

From Dec. 5 to Dec. 10, Harry got a chance to view the construction and development of Sentebale's new Mamohato Children's Centre, a new facility that will provide support to children living with HIV. During his visit, he attended a number of workshops and activities that help kids with this disease.

"These are children who have never had the chance to talk about their illness, and who had no idea that they were one of so many in their age group," said Harry, per a Sentebale release. "It was really emotional watching them interact with each other. Some really outgoing chatty kids, others slightly overwhelmed, but all with huge smiles. This confirmed to me again that what we're doing is going to change thousands of children's lives, and hopefully save a generation."

Harry, along with charity co-founder Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, appeared to be a real hit with the kids. During the visit, he even tried out his luck on the other side of the camera.

"I have always enjoyed photography and the challenges that come with trying to capture the perfect shot, although privately I don't take many photos," he said. "The best photos I have are in my head—I have some very special memories, mostly from Africa. But on this visit, I had the time and opportunity to be on the other side of the camera and take some photos in the stunning country of Lesotho for my charity Sentebale."

Princess Diana would be very proud to see her son carrying on her legacy!
