Prince Harry News: Prince Harry Joins Veterans in Walk of Britain
Prince Harry, who is well-known to be very engaging in several charity works, recently embarked on another one. This time, Harry is using his trekking shoes as he joins the "Walking With The Wounded" charity organization Tuesday for a 1,000-mile trek from Scotland to London.
In the charity's event called "Walk of Britain," Prince Harry trekked with British and American veterans in Norfolk, England, People reports. The 31-year-old prince was joined by the six-unit including U.S. Marines Andrew Bement and Kirstie Ennis.
Meanwhile, known to be very down-to-earth, Prince Harry had a brief interaction with several local villagers like Shannon Warby, who works for Walsingham Farm Shop from whom Prince Harry received baked sausage rolls.
Warby described her experience with the Prince to be "amazing," she said as quoted by BBC News. "I said to him 'Do you want a sausage roll?' and he said, 'Yes, I would love one. Thank you."
Warby further shared, "He did say they were actually beautiful. He is a true gentleman. It was an absolute honour and an amazing thing to happen to our village."
The walk that kicked off last Aug. 22 in Scotland was said to end at the Buckingham Palace, where Prince Harry will be joined by his brother Prince William and wife Kate Middleton on Nov. 1, BBC News reports.
The news outlet further reports that Prince Harry's team has already raised £75,000 for the charity that expressed its mission in its organization's website as to "Support all veterans with physical, mental or social injury to gain the skills and qualifications necessary to develop new careers outside the military, re-integrate into society and provide long-term security for themselves and their families."
Prince Harry, the younger son of The Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales, has even more projects in line in support of the wounded veterans including the upcoming paralympic-style Invictus Games which is scheduled to happe on May 2016 according to People magazine.
Previously, Prince Harry and Prince William also aided veterans in Manchester by constructing homes in their special building project, People magazine reports. Furthermore, Prince Harry's organizational website reveals the focus of the Prince's charitable works has been towards wounded veterans.
"The majority of The Prince's charitable activity focusses on supporting disadvantaged young people, promoting the welfare of those who are serving or who have served in the Armed Forces and sustainable conservation issues," the description on Prince Harry's website reads.
