• Prince Harry recounts an eye-opening encounter with an elephant herd.
• Harry compared it to the all-seeing eye of the Apache and Koh-i-Noor diamond.

Prince Harry is speaking out about getting caught in a storm in Africa.

The Duke of Sussex, who travelled to Botswana to celebrate his 25th birthday, recounts an eye-opening encounter with an elephant herd.

He writes, “When I stared at the elephant closest to me, when I looked deep into her eyeball, when she looked back into mine, I thought of the all-seeing eye of the Apache, and I thought of the Koh-i-Noor diamond, and I thought of a camera’s lens, convex and glassy like the elephant’s eye, except that a camera lens always made me nervous and this eye made me feel safe.”

He continues: “This eye wasn’t judging, wasn’t taking—it just was. If anything, the eye was slightly…tearful? Was that possible?”
