His royal hotness, heart throb Harry: Prince wows Australia as he ends stint with army

Hundreds of cheering Australians crowded around Sydney’s Opera House on Thursday to bid adieu to Britain’s Prince Harry as he wrapped up a month-long embedment with the Australian army.  The prince, whose decade-long military career will end next month, took part in a military exercise on Sydney Harbor before chatting with dozens of giggling primary school students on the Opera House’s steps.

He took part in flight simulation training, learned wilderness survival techniques, visited an Aboriginal community and played a game of wheelchair Aussie-rules football with wounded soldiers.
