HRH Prince Harry of Wales paid a surprise to Kent where he toured the Duke of York’s Royal Military School and reviewed its ceremonial parade and award medals. Harry’s trip had been kept secret from the 400 or so pupils at the school and many of them got a chance to chat to the prince during the visit.
