 Because it's Thursday and because you deserve a little something to get you to Friday, we present: Prince Harry in uniform! Prince William's younger brother, 30, honored British soldiers from World War I and II with a visit to Westminster Abbey's Field of Remembrance in London on Thursday, Nov. 6. And, like any good captain in the Queen's calvary, Prince Harry attended the official event by suiting up in full uniform, to which we had one reaction: [Insert swoon here.]  The royal donned his red-striped black uniform to lay a cross made from poppies and salute fallen soldiers at the somber event, looking appropriately respectful throughout. However, he did manage to flash his trademark smile while chatting with well-wishers. Frankly, though, we don't think two handsome pictures are enough. Which is why we're also including one dashing bonus shot from last week, on Oct. 30, when the spare to the heir—who's anything but second in our book!—boarded one of London's iconic red buses for Poppy Day. |

 Prince Harry travelled back to Afghanistan to commemorate Remembrance Day on Sunday, while the rest of the British royal family marked the event in London. The Prince, who holds the rank of captain in the army, attended a special service at an airfield in Kandahar – Afghanistan's second largest city. Harry led tributes to the fallen on behalf of his grandmother The Queen, in the presence of the remaining British soldiers who are serving there. The royal gave a reading and laid a wreath that had a personalised message attached to it, which stated: "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. They will never be forgotten. Harry." The last British troops are due to leave Afghanistan by the end of the year, while Camp Bastion in Helmand, in the south of the country, is expected to close in the next few weeks.  The surprise visit comes after Harry served two tours of duty in the Central Asian country, with the most recent ending in January 2013. The sporty royal worked as an Apache co-pilot gunner for four months, but took up an office job when he returned to London at the start of this year.  According to new reports, Harry admitted at a party on Friday that he "missed flying" and wouldn't rule it out in the future. He is also said to have mentioned that he "would like to return at some point" to Afghanistan. Royal aides have suggested that a decision about Harry's future will be made towards the end of his current posting in London, which lasts for another year or so. |

Prince Harry has revealed that he 'loves' comics and would choose them over books after speaking with a Falklands veteran. The royal, who has an A Level in art, made the admission to cartoonist and former Welsh Guardsman, Will Kevans, following the opening of the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey. The confession comes amid speculation that Harry, 30, a Captain in the Household Cavalry, might return to flying Apaches after he finishes his current posting in a desk job. He told Mr Kevans, 51, who also draws Dennis the Menace for the BBC cartoon series: 'I don't read many books but I love comics.'  The veteran - now a member of the Army Arts Society - had been attending an exhibition which coincided with the ceremony in London on Thursday to showcase his drawings. 'I had no idea Prince Harry would be attending and it was a real surprise,' said Mr Kevans, who went out to the Falklands on the QE2 liner in 1982.  After leaving the army in 1985, Mr Kevans joined the military arts group, which was set up after the conflict to encourage soldiers to develop their skills and deal with the psychological trauma of battle. He told MailOnline that drawing cartoons was something he was always passionate about. 'When I was at school I wasn't very academic and I was always drawing cartoons or caricatures of my teachers - the army was something that I needed.  |

 Prince Harry came to the rescue of a lady who lost her hat after a gust of wind blew it off as he made a speech at RAF Honington in Suffolk this morning. Ever the gentleman, the Prince, 30, rushed to her aid and scooped up the wayward titfer before returning the garment to its delighted owner with a big smile. Harry's moment of gallantry came just after he had made a speech in which he praised the 'professionalism and determination' of the RAF's 26 Squadron.  The regiment is a specialist unit that focuses on thwarting chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear attacks - a role that has put it at the forefront of anti-terrorism efforts. In a speech in front of servicemen and women and their families, he said: 'This role is vital to UK defence and civil response capabilities; is is also highly valued by NATO.  'Alongside 27 Squadron, it is constantly committed at extremely high readiness to support the combined emergency service and military response to a CBRN [chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear] incident in the UK. "Indeed, such is the vital nature of this role that responsibility has been handed over to the remainder of the wing to allow the squadron to be on the parade today.' He added: 'It is clear that every member of the squadron possesses the determination and professionalism to succeed, even in the most arduous of circumstances. |

 Despite being in a long-term relationship with a jeweler, Chelsy Davy is in no rush to get a ring on her finger. The accomplished lawyer was seen walking down the Kings Road in west London, side by side with her long-term boyfriend Charles Goode. Chelsy, 28, and Charles, 30, made their way down the Chelsea street in the chilly November weather. Looking slightly under-dressed for the cold autumn day, Chelsy was deep in conversation with her jeweler man. The Zimbabwean-born beauty wore ripped black jeans, a black scarf and cardigan and black ankleboots. She added some colour to her outfit with an emerald top and a green handbag.  Charles also dressed casual for their walkabout, wearing a multi-coloured knitted cardigan and black trousers. The blonde lawyer's relationship with the jeweler has been getting increasingly serious over the last few months, and the couple spent the second half of August travelling through Zambia, Mozambique, and Malawi on a romantic adventure holiday together. Chelsy and Prince Harry had a seven year on-and-off relationship which saw the Zimbabwean beauty attending many official events with the Prince, but they called time on their relationship in 2011. |
