LONDON -- Prince Harry plans to show his support for wounded Afghanistan war veterans by joining a group on part of a a punishing expedition to the North Pole.

Harry will join the group at their base camp in frigid northern Norway.

He plans to arrive March 29 and spend three days training and five days trekking with them. The group will include four soldiers who were seriously injured while on active duty, including two amputees.

Harry said in a statement Friday that the expedition is an enormous adventure and challenge.

He is a patron of the Walking With the Wounded charity. It is expected that the trip will take four weeks.

And I am sure that while there he will fall in love with a beautiful Sami girl and spend the rest of his life in a caribou hide tent engaged in a usefull occupation...herding her fathers reindeer.

Harry better ask his father's opinion before he makes this trip. Charles is busy with his son Williams' wedding.

Any time I look at Harry, I think one day his biological father will reveal himself and set the record straight.

The remarks about Harry's so called biological father are mean and hateful. His mother is gone, all he has is his father Charles and his brother William, really are you that mean and nasty?
These remarks must hurt this man, why do people continue to make them?

I really think Harry and William honor their mother everyday.

Charles did a good job picking up where Diana left off.

I agree. Lots of folks like to down Charles but I think he's been a standup type of guy and raised the boys well.
