Prince Harry: Makes first trip to NY
Prince Harry, the high-living third in line to the British throne, paid tribute to 9/11 victims on Friday since he opened a trip to New York thereby focusing on good causes, rather than good times.
Sources have thrown light on this news of Prince Harry. According to them this twenty four year old Prince Harry was making his first trip to New York and his first foreign paid visit as an official representative of the royal family.
He started by paying homage at Ground Zero to nearly three thousand victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center.
He then named the British Garden in Manhattan and planted a magnolia as part of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to make the city green with a million of new trees.
The next stop for the prince, a lieutenant in the British army who has been deployed to Afghanistan, was to be the Veteran's Medical Center for a tour of the prosthetics lab and a meeting with US veterans.
On Saturday, Prince Harry was scheduled to visit community building programs in Harlem before shifting to more glamorous territory . Actually he is going to attend a charity polo match on Governor's Island.
The prince is participating in the match, which has been sponsored by champagne makers Veuve Clicquot, for raising funds for Sentebale, a charity he established for children in Lesotho.
The son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana will face off against a team including Argentine model and polo player Nacho Figueras.
The visit appeared tailored in order to exhibit a more serious image from the fun-loving younger brother of the quieter Prince William.
A famous news magazine made the announcement before issuing disappointing news to the fans. It
has been announced, "Attention aspiring princesses: Prince Harry has almost landed," "The royal heartthrob, who has a well-known penchant for long, alcohol-fueled nights, won't be hitting New York City's dance floors."
Prince Harry has gained a reputation for frequenting expensive nightclubs in London and has occasionally run into scandals over statements criticized as insensitive, but brushed aside by supporters as merely colorful.
In the month of February, the army took the decision of sending Prince Harry to retake an equality and diversity course in the wake of video footage thereby showing the aristocrat using what many took to be racist language.
He had made a home movie while serving in the army in 2006 showing him referring to Pakistani fellow officer cadet Ahmed Raza Khan as "our little Paki friend".
He also referred to a comrade whose head had been covered with camouflage netting as a "raghead" which is slang in Arabic language.
The supporters said that Prince Harry was using nicknames or slang common in the armed forces and not seen as offensive by fellow soldiers. |
