Coming to America: Prince Harry!


Wow, a whooping 36h trip occurring mostly on the w-e. I am sure his flight instructors will be devastated.:whistling:

I was thinking of stalking the streets of Manhattan to find him lol... I live an hour way.

I am sure they have already worked out how to deal with the situation and have plans to cover all eventualities, ie, if he is too jetlagged to display working, he will be studying hard!:whistling: They will have worked out how to help him play catch up because as we all know he will hardly be bright eyed and bushy tailed when he reports back to... work!:biggrin:

36th? That seems far too many for someone who is training, but then I am sure he will pass and with a very high grade. Serving in the armed forces is in his genes.

This is awesome. I'd like to get a glimpse of him, but hundreds of others would have the same idea, so I'll pass.

:englandflag::flowers: I am sure we all believe he will pass and with the highest grades.

I wonder if there will be an opportunity to see Harry. I do live in Manhattan and would not mind standing on the street to catch a glimpse. Alas it looks like his schedule is rather busy, so I guess I won't have to worry about how to word the invitation to drinks at my apartment!

Prince Harry's first visit will be to the World Trade Center and Ground Zero. Nothing bad about it but have you noticed the William and Harry both seem to be centered around memorials a lot.

The city preps for Prince Harry to come to NYC.

Hope he can stay longer next time. Plenty of private clubs after public appearances, and many women (much younger and more shapely than myself) available to improve Anglo-US relationships.

I'm glad, though, that he has a schedule heavy on the service personnnel. I still think it was rotten that he had to be pulled out of active service on the lines, and this is a way that he can remain in touch with what is clearly a priority for him.

MSNBC has live coverage for those who get the channel.

It is nice to see them recognising Prince Harry's work but they have for a while, second of course to his partying he is known for being alot like his mother. Wonderful to see him doing engagments in another country. I believe he is the first out of the brothers??

Are we to understand that in order to allow Harry to play a game of polo, his PR team swung into action to facilitate a reason for him going to the US?
