Harry plans to meet with the cast and crew, watch the film, and chat with representatives from organizations in support of conservation and environmental protection.
The premiere is being held in support of the conservation and communities work of His Royal Highness through the Royal Foundation, according to the press release.
“In celebration of the film’s release, The Walt Disney Company announced Protect the Pride, a global conservation campaign working with many conservation partners to raise awareness and support efforts to protect and recover the dwindling lion population across Africa,” the press release states.
The Royal Foundation plans to support the Protect the Pride campaign to find solutions that “benefit people, communities and wildlife across Africa.”

The royals are expected in South Africa, Malawi, and Angola, plus a quick stop in Botswana for Prince Harry.
The upcoming trip will be their first official tour as a family.
