Britain鈥檚 Prince Harry looks for a job after leaving army
Print Edition
Prince Harry is looking for work, but don鈥檛 expect him to be sending out invitations to connect on LinkedIn.
No one is likely to keep the fourth in line to the British throne waiting for a job interview, or to grill him about his background, even though he鈥檚 been caught smoking pot and photographed playing 鈥渟trip billiards鈥 in Las Vegas.
And if it takes him a while to find the right position, the family fortune should tide him over until his first payday.
Royal officials said yesterday that the 30-year-old prince will leave the armed forces in June. Kensington Palace said he will volunteer with a program that helps wounded service members 鈥渨hile actively considering other longer term employment opportunities.鈥
In the meantime, Harry鈥檚 final army duties will include a four-week assignment in April and May with the Australian Defence Force. The prince will spend time in Darwin, Perth and Sydney and attend centenary commemorations of the World War I Gallipoli campaign in Turkey.
Harry said leaving the army after a decade of service, which included two tours of duty in Afghanistan, has been 鈥渁 really tough decision鈥 but that he is excited about the future.
鈥淭he experiences I have had over the past 10 years will stay with me for the rest of my life,鈥 he said in a statement.
鈥淔or that I will always be hugely grateful.鈥
Harry graduated from Sandhurst officers鈥 academy in 2006 and joined the Household Cavalry as an armored reconnaissance troop leader.
He served in Afghanistan as a battlefield air controller for 10 weeks in 2007-08 until a media leak cut his tour short. Keen to return to the front lines despite fears he would be a top Taliban target, Harry retrained as a helicopter pilot and served in Afghanistan in 2012-13.
