Scores of underprivileged children showed off their rugby and surfing skills to Britain’s Prince Harry in Durban on Tuesday.

“I met Tom and told him I needed a place to stay”.
These days, 31-year-old Harry seems to have settled into his role as a royal and public figure quite nicely, but the good-guy-royal image isn’t one he’s always embraced.
Security guards patrolled the edges of the pitch as the Prince played football with youngsters as part of a Grassroots Soccer initiative helping disadvantaged youngsters.
Harry captained a team in the event held yesterday near Cape Town, in aid of his Sentebale charity which supports underprivileged young people in Lesotho.
The prince delighted Sinentlantla by swinging her into the air along with Sian Price, a member of British High Commission staff, and Sinentlantla shrieked with misery when Harry had to go inside and leave her. “When I was at school I wanted to be the bad boy”. The former bodyguard told OK! that Prince Harry had a private party at Buckingham Palace wherein he invited four models and they all had too much champagne and got drunk which resulted in them running naked in the palace halls.
Watch as this little girl tries to cling to Prince Harry and bursts into tears when she is dragged away.
The archbishop, who has recently suffered ill health, looked frail but was smiling as the prince visited the offices of the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation in Cape Town.
He said, “If you’ve got an older brother that’s not into hangs, that’s a huge positive”.
“Older brothers are supposedly the cool ones”, he said via Vanity Fair.
The initiative aims to develop the young surfers into independent and successful young people and ambassadors that will inspire other children.
“Despite all of the efforts of the apartheid regime to alienate us, they stood by us and said “you are our leader”.

“I’m owe everything to them – Tom and his wife have been like a mother and father to me – and I am proud of myself of taking that opportunity to do something with my life”. “It’s as much their award as it is mine”.
