Prince Harry to make first official visit to Japan for the 2019 Rugby World Cup Final
Prince Harry is set to visit Japan Saturday for the 2019 Rugby World Cup Final between England and South Africa.
This will be Duke of Sussex's first official visit to the country, according to a press release from Buckingham Palace.
Harry, who is a Patron of the Rugby Football Union, previously attended the Rugby World Cup Final in Paris in 2007, where England played against South Africa.
Harry's visit will include more than just watching the game, however.
Upon arrival, he will visit a purpose-built para sports training centre and will spend the afternoon with Japanese Paralympic hopefuls.
Harry is scheduled to return to England on Sunday.
The release did not say wife Duchess Meghan or son Archie would join him on the visit.
In late October, Harry stepped out with Meghan to participate in a roundtable about gender equality with The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust and One Young World.
The roundtable included 10 young change makers from countries like Malawi, South Africa and Bangladesh who discussed how they're empowering women and overcoming obstacles in their communities. Harry was right by her side in support.
The couple also completed a 10-day royal trip to South Africa in September.
During their tour, they couple visited a 225-year-old Cape Town mosque, shopped for jeans and more.
On the tenth and final day of Harry and Meghan's royal tour, the couple met Grace Machel, widow of the late Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The couple also brought along 5-month-old royal baby, Archie, marking the tour as their first official foreign trip as a family.
