Where may Prince Henry live?
Australia or New Zealand? Would either of these be better then if he resided in Canada?
After all, Henry Charles is one well known Prince.

From now on Harry makes his own agenda with or without the army, but it has nothing to do with him serving or the army being in charge about his agenda.

[Fürstin Taxis]

PR wise he certainly didn't do himself a favor imo.
When Alexander Ulster ended his military career, he started to work for a not-for-profit organisation where he can use his knowledge. Either Harry aims at this or like I already mentioned, looks up to his aunt.

This is not a normal secondment but one aimed specifically for Harry.
e has said that he is pleased that the ADF arranged such a varied range of activities for him - in other words thanked them for his fun filled holiday at Australian expense with neither side gaining anything and Harry having a jolly at our expense. They don't know what to do with Harry now that he is leaving the army so they put this together to fill in a few weeks and then he is on his own with nothing much in mind. Andrew at least did an extra 10 years in the navy before he was encouraged to leave due to the strong probability that he wouldn't get any more promotions and that is what my contacts in the military are saying has happened here as well - Harry was advised, in the normal course of military career planning, that he wasn't going to get promoted any further on merit for some time, if at all, as there were better and younger men and women coming up who were more deserving of promotion. Once promotion became competitive he didn't have the skills necessary for those promotions in comparison to others and would be left behind. He then chose out rather than stay but with no clear purpose in mind. He is only 30 and he is saying no full time royal duties with no other job lined up - so a loose cannon. If they don't want another Andrew and Margaret on their hands they need to get him doing something pretty quickly - a full time job at which he can work for the next 20 plus years seeing as his plan from about a year ago to stay in the army for 30 years ended after only 10.

I wonder what Harry can do post Army? Would his Apache training transfer over to civilian helicopters like William did? Anything commercial would probably be ruled out.

Something like a rehab therapist maybe but that would require specialized training he does have. He isn't going be a City stockbroker.

Charles want to reduce his carbon foot print, I suggest:

Harry can remain in Australia/New Zealand. He can become the royal family representative in Australia/New Zealand/Asia. He can marry a native girl and raise kiwis.

Adult, baby Cambridge can move to Canada and become the North/South American British Royal family representative.

The Queen, Philip, Charles, Camilla, William, Kate and George can remain in the U.K. and travel throughout Europe and Africa.

Rather than have every member of the BRF travel to Australia only Harry will tour Australia/New Zealand/Asia. George will not repeat the C&D and W&K Australia/New Zealand baby tour.

[Iluvbertie]

Let me assure you that wouldn't be welcome in Australia. Harry visiting occasionally is fine but having any sort of official position here is a definite NO WAY. Australians will accept an Aussie only now and the foreign royals can visit once every three to four years.


The other thing is that they get the crowds because of the rarity of their visits but if they were always here they would be common place and no one would care.

[Queen Camilla]

I am visualizing Harry primarily a private citizen living in Australia or New Zealand and representing the British on behalf of Foreign Office or Monarch throughout Asia/Australia/New Zealand. His 'tours' will still be rare. They will be at the same frequency as current BRF visits to Australia/New Zealand/Asia.

This is a joke isn't it ???????

Indubitably! Timing's a bit off though . . . only missed April Fools Day by 7 days.

[Duke of Marmalade]

They can put Harry in Sydney Zoo, so people can have a look at him whenever they want!!

[Curryong]

There would be a queue four miles long around Harry's enclosure, consisting of female spectators between the ages of 15 and 65, especially if he wore his white tropical uniform.

[Skippyboo]

He can go right next to George the Billby 😀

It seems that Harry is in a similar situation as Beatrice, undecided between a private life and full time royal duties.

Not at all; I believe Harry can have full-time royal duties, if he chooses.
The question is whether he wants to.

Beatrice may want to, but she won't be given the choice.

Gift shop would have an entire section devoted to him.

The posts about Harry at the Gallipoli/Anzac Day commemorations in Turkey have been moved to the http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...5-a-38398.html thread.

I have always been intrigued with this question. What would happen if say Prince Harry or one of the other members of the Royal Family simply decided, no more royal duties for me? Specifically Prince Harry for example, he is quite wealthy in his own right, inheriting from his mother millions of Pound Sterling, he would never have to work a day in his life if he chose not to, he certainly doesn't need any money from the Royal family to be just fine at this point.

What would the repercussions and consequences be if he just quit doing royal duties and attending royal functions? What would be the worst that could happen to him? He is not going to be King, obviously, so no "King Edward VIII" abdication and exile. Lose his HRH?

[Pranter]

If he felt that strongly about it I don't think The Queen or Charles (if he's King at the time) would strip him of his titles, assuming he'd even want to keep them. I think they would allow him to live privately if he wanted to. It seems evident to me over the years Charles (for all his faults) has always loved the boys and been focused on their happiness.
