Prince Harry appoints a right-hand man Edward Lane Fox was a captain in the Household Cavalry and met the Prince on military duties before working for RLM Finsbury, a financial communications firm, as a senior associate. Mr Lane Fox will take up his position in June, shortly after the 28-year-old Prince returns from a US tour which is seen as crucial to repairing his reputation after he was photographed naked in Las Vegas. The Prince was involved in the interview process for the appointment, which completes a staff reshuffle that underlines his growing public duties and those of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Mr Lane Fox, who is believed to be in his mid-30s, joined the Blues and Royals in 2000 and served in Bosnia and Iraq. He left with the rank of captain in 2006, the year the princes joined the regiment, and became a freelance photographer and journalist before joining Finsbury. A spokesman for St James's Palace said Mr Lane Fox and Prince Harry had met on occasion and had both been involved with the Burnaby Blue Foundation, a charity which has worked in Lesotho with the Prince's charity, Sentebale.
