Prince Harry Comes To America, Girls Go Wild
By Julie Zeveloff, Business Insider
Prince Harry arrived in the U.S. last week for a cross-country publicity tour.
He started in Washington D.C., where he visited the White House and wounded soldiers, before heading west to Colorado Springs and Denver, where he met with athletes and helped kick off the Warrior Games.
On the last leg of his trip he returned east to New York and New Jersey, where he visited the Superstorm Sandy-ravaged boardwalk.
The Prince finishes his trip tomorrow in Greenwich, Conn, where he will compete in a polo match before flying home to the UK.
Of course, the press was on hand to capture every moment of the Prince’s whirlwind tour. There were some serious moments, such as when Prince Harry visited Arlington National Cemetery. But overally, it looks as if he’s having a blast.
Prince Harry kicked off his visit in Washington DC, where he met First Lady Michelle Obama.
On day two, Prince Harry visited wounded soldiers who were undergoing physical therapy at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
He donned his British Army ceremonial uniform for a visit to Arlington National Cemetery.
The prince laid a wreath in Section 60, where veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are buried.
On day three, the Prince headed to Colorado Springs to help kick off the Warrior Games, a Paralympics event for injured service members and veterans.
He played a round of sitting volleyball with the UK team.
On Day four, Prince Harry helped cheerleaders at the U.S. Air Force Academy’s football training center form a pyramid. He fits right in.
Day five took the Prince to Seaside Heights, NJ, where he checked out the boardwalk with Gov. Chris Christie.
He was there to see rebuilding efforts following Superstorm Sandy, but found time for a carnival game or two.
The Prince and Prime Minister David Cameron picked up bobble head-versions of themselves at an event promoting UK businesses in Manhattan.
