Prince Harry Goes To Ground Zero

Prince Harry Goes To Ground Zero

Prince Harry lays a wreath down to pay his respects to the victims of the 9/11 World Trade Center attack at Ground Zero on Friday (May 29) in New York City.

The 24-year-old British royalty marks his first official trip to the US. The young prince spoke to relatives of 9/11 victims, visited firefighters at Engine 10, greeted people at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and planted a tree at the British Memorial Garden at Hanover Square.

Prince Harry is scheduled to visit the Harlem Children’s Zone and play in a polo match Saturday at Governors Island in New York Harbor before wrapping up his two-day visit in New York.

Dubbed as the “party prince,” Prince Harry showed a more solemn, heartwarming side during his debut visit to the US.

On the wreath he hung at Ground Zero, Harry left a note saying, “In respectful memory of those who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001, and in admiration of the courage shown by the people of this great city on that day. Harry.”

It’s the ugly red-headed stepchild. Prince Harry has a face only a mother could love. Ahaaaaaaa! William looks much better.

You haters are bunch of freaking hypocrites. He’s young, inexperienced and like every college age guy has done some stupid things.

The only difference between him and morons like “Neil” is that Harry had to live through public embarrassment over it.

thanks jared! i was waiting, but i knew you had heard my pleas. also you focused on the right things. i saw some great footage of him in harlem playing around today on the news.

What a wonderful thing Harry did. I remember when I visited Ground Zero a year after it happened. It brought me to tears. I do believe he’s turning into a more selfless person who’s trying to make a difference in the world. And he’s so handsome!!!!

Its great to see that you’re giving his visit to the States coverage JJ.

Prince Harry is by far my favourite member of our Royal family and its great to see him out doing so many wonderful things.

Some people may think that royals get it all very easy and think they’re lazy but they do work very hard for charitable causes that doesn’t always get media attention.

i dont get why people think hes such a party* guy, he is in his 20s, hes not a monk, if he didn’t go out and have fun hed go mad like everyone else……plus i actually dont get why people took the whole natzi thing seriously, they tried to kill people all over the world and we beat them….he was taking the piss….its just sarcasm…. he’s done more good than anything ‘bad’ he didn’t have to go out to afgahn and he dosn’t have to go out to all these places and try to help out.

The Royals are irrelevant whether they do good works or not. Ask any Brit you see. Same here in Canada. Half of us could care less about them and think they are a waste of space and that has been the case for most of these last 50 years with this latest family. Americans on the other hand have a peculiar glassy-eyed gushiness about them where it concerns the Monarchy. Ironic. Enjoy them while you can. William will be the last.

An admorable man

Admirable

If you think that Harry is not the son of Charles, just because he has red hair, please do SHUT UP!

Your comment only shows how much you don’t know of the family of Diana. The brother and the sisters of Diana DO HAVE RED HAIR. Especially, the sister who went out with Charles before Diana has same hair.

On top of it, Charles loves his OWN sons. What he did to Diana was very sad but he is a good father to his two sons.

MY God he is soooo incredibly HOT!!! and Royal!

He is the hottest out of the two brothers that is for sure.
I can see why people found William cute because he reminded them of Diana but as time went by he grew up to resemble Charles so he lost the cuteness he had.
I think Harry is a perfect mixture between Charles and Diana that is why he grew up to be such a fine young man .
Whoever thinks he is not Charles son must be crazy I see a lot of Charles in him.

Looking at him close up………i don’t see Charles in him…….mmmmmmm…….may be that guy that used to be diana’s riding instructor had something to do with it.

Its pretty awesome that the Tudors King Henry split from the catholic church so that he could divorce and have many, many wives. It is what god intended and now we are free!

Harry is the mixture of two Charles of Diana; Charles the husband and Charles the brother.

He looks just like his dad - CAPTAIN JAMES HEWITT.

I love the way Harry defied the Queen, his father and the military and insisted upon being deployed to Iraq with the men of his squadron, with whom he trained. He saw several months of hard combat, until a news organization “outed” his precise location, thus jeapordizing Harry and his unit. Sure, he was a prankish young boy, but he’s turned into an amazing man. I still love the old picture, where Charles is fly-fishing in a kilt and toddler Harry lifts the skirt to look underneath.

@ini:

Who told you that Prince Harry is not Prince Charles son? If you look closely he looks exactly like when Prince Charles was at his age. Maybe you’re just jealous ‘coz you were not born a royal. Prince Harry is a very level headed guy now that he is in his 20’s. What about you did you do anything that would help alleviate the sufferings of other people especially the less fortunate ones. Prince Harry has done a great deal for less privilege people.

love you harry!
