Prince Harry made a powerful speech supporting the fight against child marriage during his last morning in Nepal on Wednesday.  The passionate prince told the crowd that education had the power to lift young women out of poverty, and he echoed First Lady Michelle Obama in the need to empower girls from "the bottom up," and that it shouldn’t just be women who speak up for them.  "I am proud to stand with you today," he said during his speech at the Nepal Girl Summit in Kathmandu. He also encouraged people to be "open about some of the challenges facing young women." |

 Prince Harry is living his best life on vacation. Not only is he aiding efforts to heal Nepal following last year’s massive earthquake, he’s on a roll with the spring break worthy Instagram posts. The formerly wayward prince is giving back by meeting with families, babies and even dogs. It’s like a college student’s Habitat for Humanity trip, only far more publicized than the occasional Facebook post; he may be philanthropic, but it’s still spring break.  Prince Harry kicked off his visit with a traditional Namaste welcome hosted by the government of Nepal in Kathmandu. On Instagram, Kensington Palace issued Prince Harry’s statement. “I know that I arrive in Nepal as you approach the first anniversary of the earthquakes that took so many lives. I pay my respects to those who perished and hope to do what I can to shine a spotlight on the reserve and resilience of the Nepali people. I want to show all those around the world who want to help that this country is open for business. I can’t wait to get out there and see all this country has to offer,” Prince Harry said. Like his mother, Prince Harry is becoming known for his charitable pursuits; in fact, he may pursue them full-time instead of heading to law school.  |

 Sorry, ladies, Prince Harry is not moving to the U.S. to find a princess, despite a report. A new story claims that Harry is over the London party scene and wants to move to the U.S. and settle down by the end of the year. Gossip Cop, however, has learned the story is bogus. While it is public knowledge that the former partyboy prince is hoping to get married and start a family, a source tells Gossip Cop that he’s not looking to do it stateside.  |

 Harry turned heads yesterday when he appeared in the place you'd least expect to see a royal: the supermarket. The fifth-in-line to the throne surprised shoppers after he popped into a Waitrose near to his flat in Kensington Palace to buy eggs.  Although the 31-year-old kept his head down and wore a baseball cap, west London shoppers instantly recognised the Prince. Fellow shopper Lewis St George-McKenzie told The Sun how surprised he was to see Prince Harry in the store. He said "You don’t expect to see a Prince doing his shop at nine in the morning."  Harry has recently returned from an official visit to Nepal, where he kept fans updated with personal photos taken from his trip, including a beautiful photo of the view captioned: "Living in such dramatic scenery clearly has an effect on the Nepalese – such calm, friendly people." He also shared a snap of a dog, writing "Found a friend surveying his kingdom! Who can blame him – what a view!" |

 In pictures released by the charity Team Rubicon, we see the royal hoisting wooden beams and hauling heavy bags as he helped re-build an school in the mountains of Nepal that had been damaged in the April 2015 earthquake.  At the end of his official visit, Harry made the surprise announcement that he planned to stay on in Nepal to help in the re-building of the school. While in Nepal, he worked with Team Rubicon, a charity that uses the skills and experiences of military veterans to tackle the aftermath of natural disasters.  The main role for Harry and his fellow volunteers was to help lay a concrete base for one of the larger school classrooms. With no machinery available, they used only local tools and methods. Rocks had to be broken down by hand, and cement (which was carried from the nearest town 2.5 hours away) was mixed and applied manually. The whole process underlined how much work is required to construct even a small building – let along replace an entire school.  |
