But I'm more interested in the "punishing physical training" he will endure at the military academy. He'll be an even butcher bottom than he is already!

quote:Prince Harry has been pictured holding a cigarette next to a young orphan while carrying out charity work in South Africa.
Harry, whose wayward behaviour has never kept him far from the headlines, was snapped crouched on the ground with the cigarette hidden by a shadow.
Ironically, the officials pictures were issued by Clarence House as part of a campaign to boost the Prince's image after a series of negative tabloid stories.
A spokesman for Prince Harry said Clarence House was unaware the cigarette was in the picture.
He added that "far too much" was being made of the issue.
The Prince has spent his gap year in Lesotho helping Aids orphans.
The girl he is pictured next to is thought to be four-year-old Mutsu Potsane, who is believed to be HIV positive.
Harry has been involved in a series of high-profile incidents which have seen him apologise for dressing as a Nazi at a fancy dress party, smoking cannabis and fighting with a paparazzi photographer.
The cigarette was spotted on the day that Harry's former Eton teacher Sarah Forsyth claimed in an employment tribunal that parts of one of the Prince's A-Level art work had been completed by another teacher.
Harry is now at Sandhurst, knuckling down on what is the first full day of his new military career.
He joined the elite academy on Sunday and now faces 44 weeks of its gruelling regime of early starts and punishing physical training.
