Prince Harry says the army saved him

Prince Harry has opened up about his career in the army, claiming it saved him from making "bad choices".

In a revealing interview at the end of his tour of New Zealand with UK newspapers The Sun, The Sunday Times and The Sunday Mirror, Prince Harry said the army had saved him from making “bad choices” and had done “amazing things for me”.

The Prince added that he would definitely encourage his nephew Prince George and niece Princess Charlotte to have “some sort of involvement in the armed forces” and was sure his brother Prince William and sister-in-law Catherine would “echo” his support.

The Prince retaliated against The Guardian newspaper dubbing him a male Bridget Jones, saying he was “happy not having a girlfriend” and wasn’t actually looking for one.

In June Prince Harry leaves the army and he revealed next for him is three months shadowing a vet in South Africa working with animals from tracking poachers to darting lions and elephants.

“It’s going to be amazing” says Harry who like his brother is dedicated to supporting wildlife conservation around the world.

In the wake of the release of “the black spider letters” in which his father Prince Charles advises government ministers on matters he’s passionate about, Prince Harry says “My father never really gets listened to, which is disappointing because whatever he says normally is right.”
