He may have retired from the service, but Captain Wales emerged Monday to make a surprise visit to cadets at a military school in Dover, England.
Prince Harry, dressed in his military uniform, made an unexpected visit to The Duke of York’s Royal Military School, where he inspected student guards, presented medals and watched a ceremonial parade.
He then attended an informal reception where he spent additional time speaking with students.
About 65 percent of the students at the school have a parent in the armed forces, Kensington Palace said.
