Britain's Prince Harry laughs as he attends a charity reception in
London, on July 2, 2009. Prince Harry, patron of the Sentebale
charity, attended the reception of supporters, staff and trustees,
to mark Sentebale's third anniversary year. Sentebale was founded
in 2006 and is working with thousands of orphans and vulnerable
children in Lesotho.

I'm glad sentebale is still up and running. They can only do as much as they can with the donations they receive. The extremely poor always lose out when the extremely wealthy have less to give.

The Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic, held in New York in May this year, has raised over $400,000 for Sentebale’s work supporting orphans and vulnerable children in Lesotho. The American Friends of Sentebale were kindly selected to be the beneficiary of the match, in which Prince Harry took part.

Princes William and Harry have been inspired by their parents to extend their charitable links with the launch of a new forum. The second-in-line to the throne has explained that he intends to find "his own way" and wants to be more than just a royal "ornament".

He may have one of the most recognisable faces on the planet but young Alex Burke was determined to check that Prince Harry was the real deal.

Looking puzzled as he met the third in line to the throne at a charity awards ceremony this evening, the six-year-old said: 'Are you sure you are Prince Harry? Where's your crown?', before asking for good measure: 'So you're not William then?'

I have always liked Prince Harry, but I think after this event with the children I've fallen for him. You can really see that he got the best of his father and mother. He will become a great asset to the monarchy once his father takes the throne and I think will continue to be a popular figure after his brother becomes King as well. I have high hopes for him. Will and Harry seem to have the same dynamic has Elizabeth and Margaret.

I so agree, I too think that he got the best of his mother and father.

Here's another nice picture from 29th September:

From the article -
Mandrake can disclose that potential donors from Virginia are to meet Harry next month at Clarence House, the Prince of Wales's London home, to discuss switching an annual polo tournament in which he takes part, from Gloucestershire to America.
"I'm organising a meeting at Clarence House with the Virginia investors," says Saroj Chakravarty, the founder of the Chakravarty Cup, which usually takes place at the Beaufort Polo Club near Tetbury. "Among them are some travel companies that are keen for the exposure

It would be a great pity if this event is moved, IMO.
