Prince Harry is seen flying a Spitfire upside down in footage released from his charity work with injured veterans.
The prince was cheering and smiling as he rolled the plane during a flight along the Isle of Wight coastline in August last year.
The stunt was to promote his Spitfire scholarship which offers training for wounded servicemen and women.
He also met two trainees who are hoping to pilot the aircraft in a Battle of Britain flypast.

(The above is not a statement of fact. It is either satire or opinion. Or both.)

You have to admire Prince Harry and his dedication to the military. Having served himself in Afghanistan he goes out of his way to help war veterans. I was moved when he visited the US and not only laid a wreath at Arlington in his full dress military uniform, but visited US veterans at Walter Reed ..also in uniform. We would be a far better King than his nitwit father.

Since he has moved down on the list of future monarchs, he can take a more changes.
The ‘royals’ office was probably hysterical at this latest antic.

Just to be clear, it was a 2 seat Spitfire. Harry was simply a passenger in the back seat.

Well, yes. You could qualify my original statement by adding “ ... when they appear in public or in a picture.”

“Harry was simply a passenger in the back seat.”
Still, no two ways about it “it’s good to be a prince”.
