Britain’s Prince Harry yesterday joined in the celebrations of the festival of colours in Nepal, where he is currently visiting survivors of the 2015 earthquake.
The Holi festival, which marks the beginning of spring, is celebrated by people covering each other in colourful powder.
Photos released by local media showed the prince smearing vermillion on the faces of villagers in the Lamjung district, while also having his own face
coloured.
Harry also played volleyball with boys from a secondary school in Lamjung, where he stayed with a Gurkha family on Monday night.
The prince was flown by the Nepal army chopper to Pokhara yesterday, where he visited the British Gurkha camp before arriving in Kathmandu.
Harry, who is in Nepal on a five-day visit, is to join the president in inaugurating the Nepal Girl Summit before returning home today.
It is the first time in years that a British royal family member has visited Nepal. The late Princess Diana, Harry’s mother, visited the Himalayan nation in 1993.
