Royal Duties and Career
Prince Harry began to accompany his parents on official visits at an early age; his first overseas royal tour was with his parents to Italy in 1985. The Princess of Wales' earlier decision to take an infant William to Australia set the precedent for young royal children going on official visits. Harry then accompanied either both parents or his father on subsequent tours, though he only began solo official engagements after his military training and active service. At age 10 in August 1995, Prince Harry attended the 50th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day at the Cenotaph in London and saluted the officers in the military parade, one of the most important ceremonies in the royal family agenda. In 2008, he began participating in royal visits to schools and organisations in Wales.

Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
To an inordinate race?”
