Prince Harry 'to be an Aussie gun' Prince Harry is battle ready. PRINCE Harry will reportedly join the Aussie Army for a six-month stint. It's believed negotiations are under way between British and Australian officials about the security and location of a possible deployment for the prince with Aussie Diggers. But it's unclear whether the bachelor prince, known as Captain Wales in the British army, would be embedded with an Aussie army unit or make an extended visit as an observer, The Australian reported. It was not stated if he would be stationed Down Under or overseas. Prince Harry has served during two deployments to Afghanistan, recently revealing he killed Taliban insurgents during his tour. He is a skilled Apache helicopter pilot but would likely have to fly other craft if using his skills with Australian counterparts. Speculation about a royal visit Down Under has already been rife, with reports only weeks ago that the popular royal party boy would be a guest at a Navy celebration later this year. They were quickly quashed, however. The 28-year-old's father, Prince Charles, successor to the throne, has a special affinity with Australia. He was schooled at the Timbertop campus of Geelong Grammar School and has made many visits. Prince Harry has visited Australia only once before, during his gap year in 2003. Prince Harry, who last year made headlines when he gallivanted nude while playing billiards with a girl in his Las Vegas hotel suite, has proved a dedicated member of the British armed forces, despite his partying ways. He was sent on missions over Helmand Province in southern Afghanistan.
