And obviously when Prince Harry admits to the ploy, he’s TOTES JOKING!!
Prince Harry is on his way to the South Pole right now, all to raise awareness for wounded veterans as part of the Walking With the Wounded initiative. He’s joined by two other teams in a race to the souther tip, and one of those teams has the boner-inducing Alexander Skarsg├â┬Ñrd leading the way!
Getting candid about that broken toe, Harry said:
“I obviously broke my toe hoping to get out of the trip, that was a massive fail on my part! But whatever setbacks I’ve had, it’s irrelevant against these guys and it always was going to be so there was never any question of pulling out. I’ve got four limbs. These guys have got all these life-changing injuries that are really hard for them, I’m glad to have the chance to create awareness.”
Plus it’s a great excuse to grow an awesome beard and not shave for a month (above, in progress obvi)!
What Prince wouldn’t like a chance to not worry about appearances for a while??
Honestly, what he’s doing is magnificent, and TOTALLY inspiring! We would love to go with him next time!!
