AFRICAN royalty came to Burry Port with a visit by the prince of Lesotho.
Prince Seeiso told pupils at Ysgol Glan-y-Mor that they enjoyed a privileged education — and encouraged them to make the most of it
Delighted children spoke of their huge excitement at meeting the African prince.
Ciaran Griffiths, 12, said: "It's a honour to meet him, I have been looking forward to it.
"Wales's culture and Lesotho's culture are totally different.
"Christmas time they will be having barbecues and we will be opening our presents."
He added that the Prince was "very approachable and a very nice man".
Thirteen-year-old Callum Pyne, of Trimsaran, said: "It has been a thrill — I've never met a prince before.
The Kingdom of Lesotho is a small landlocked country, completely surrounded by South Africa.
International links co-ordinator for Glan-y-Mor, Angelique Perrault, said: "It was a real honour to have the Prince here.
"We have been involved in a project for three to four years and have had two visits by teachers over those years."
HRH Prince Seeiso stepped down as High Commissioner in the UK last December and his visit was to see key projects linking Wales and his homeland before he returns to Lesotho.
