After an education at various schools around the United Kingdom and spending parts of his gap year in Australia and Lesotho, Harry, unlike his elder brother, Prince William, eschewed a university education in favour of following in the footsteps of various royal men by enrolling in the military. He was baptised at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, by then Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie. Persistent suggestions, based on a similarity of hair colour, have been made that Harry’s father is not Charles but James Hewitt, with whom Diana had an affair. However, red hair is known to be a Spencer family trait, and Hewitt stated to the press in 2002 that Harry had already been born by the time his affair with Diana began, a statement corroborated by Diana’s police bodyguard. He excelled in sports, particularly polo and rugby union. Within a year, in April 2006, Harry completed his officer’s training and was commissioned as a Cornet in the Blues and Royals, a regiment of the Household Cavalry in the British Army. The British Ministry of Defence and Clarence House made a joint announcement on 22 February 2007 that Prince Harry would be deployed with his regiment to the front line in Iraq, to serve as part of the 1st Mechanised Brigade of the 3rd Mechanised Division - a move supported by Harry, who had stated that he would leave the army if he was told to remain in safety while his regiment went to war; he said: “There’s no way I’m going to put myself through Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country.” Then head of the British army, General Sir Richard Dannatt, first said on 30 April 2007 that he had personally decided that the Prince would serve with his unit in Iraq, and Harry was scheduled for deployment in May or June 2007, to patrol the Maysan province. Every survivor declares: “I’m Spartacus!” It was reported, in early June 2007, that Prince Harry had arrived in Canada to train, alongside soldiers of the Canadian Forces and British Army, at Canadian Forces base Suffield, near Medicine Hat, Alberta.
