SYDNEY, May 7, 2015 (AFP) - Thousands of wellwishers Thursday made the most of their chance to see Prince Harry during a meet-and-greet near Sydney’s Opera House, with "His Royal Hotness" banners out in force and one woman asking him to marry her.
The 30-year-old prince, known as Captain Wales, has been on a month-long embed with the Australian army as he prepares to quit the British forces in June, missing the birth of his niece Princess Charlotte earlier this month. The birth bumped him down to fifth in line to the throne, but he was all smiles on the glorious Sydney day, bidding farewell to Australia as his deployment Down Under comes to a close.
