Prince Harry Confirms Speculation That He Will Be Leaving the Armed Forces

8206811

After 10 years in the armed forces, Prince Harry announced via Kensington Palace that he will end his active duty as June 2015. He remains undecided about his next steps and as usual there is lots of speculation!

If Prince William isn’t ready to become a full-time royal, I doubt Prince Harry is. There is lots of chatter about him hoping to avoid same mistakes that his brother made – not too sure what those mistakes are but apparently settling (down) and starting a family before being ready is one of them.

He is very involved with charities, including his African-based one focusing on helping orphans and vulnerable children in Lesotho, and takes great pride in his work with wounded soldiers. One can only imagine that he will take on an even greater role within these causes along with others.

Prince Harry will spend four weeks with the Australian Defense Force and then embark on a tour of New Zealand before wrapping up active duty in June.

She also wore the Queen Mother’s golden shamrock brooch – one that the Queen Mother wore every year when she was the one handing out shamrocks!

Royal Family Attend Commonwealth Day Observance Service at Westminster Abbey

267A075300000578-2986499-image-a-279_1425924305478

The BRF was out in full force this afternoon at Westminster Abbey to attend the Commonwealth Day Observance service. The Duchess of Cambridge was all smiles in front of the cameras with Prince Charles (see Daily Mail for photos).

For all those thinking that the Duchess of Cambridge wearing pink is a sign that Prince George can expect a little sister next month, remember that she wore the very same outfit at the Trooping the Colour ceremony back on June 15, 2013 – just about a month before the birth of Prince George.
