Prince Harry is headed to America, this time skipping Vegas and instead opting for a more serious stay. On his royal trip that begins today and goes until May 15, the soldier prince will visit Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Arlington National Cemetery in DC, meet with Wounded Warrior veterans in Colorado, and tour areas damaged by Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey with Gov. Chris Christie. Harry's also making time for some socializing and will host a polo cup for his charity Sentebale in Greenwich, CT.
Prince Harry is also pulling the weight for his brother, as soon-to-be-parents Prince William and Kate Middleton are not taking an international royal tour this year. So far, royals have lodged fewer frequent-flier miles than 2012, the year of the queen's Diamond Jubilee. All the major royals traveled overseas to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 60 years on the throne. Prince William and his wife, Kate, took the British royal family show on the road for a nine-day tour of the Far East, while Prince Harry did his part paying a visit to countries in Central America and the Caribbean on behalf of Her Majesty. But even without a major milestone to celebrate, the British royals have been traveling the globe for decades. To compare the past and present royal tours, take a look at royals around the world throughout the years.
