Prince Harry to quit British Army

Prince Harry announced on Tuesday he will leave
the British armed forces after a decade of
service, which included two operational tours in
Afghanistan .
As the younger son of the Prince and Princess of
Wales, 30-year-old Prince Harry is known in the
army as Captain Harry Wales.
He said he would quit the military in June, after
a four-week secondment to the Australian
Defence Force.
The prince entered the Royal Military Academy
Sandhurst in May 2005, and completed a 44-
week officer training. He went on his first tour in
Afghanistan in late 2007 as a Forward Air
Controller. After trained as an Apache attack
helicopter pilot, he went on a second Afghan tour
between September 2012 and January 2013, as
an Apache pilot.
His military service helped counteract the image
of a royal wild child and gained him popularity.
Prince Harry is fourth in line to succeed his
grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, and will be
pushed to fifth by his brother Prince William’s
second child, who is due in April.
