Prince Harry entered the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in May 2005.
He successfully completed a 44-week training course as an Officer Cadet, before being commissioned
in April 2006 as a Second Lieutenant in the Household Cavalry (Blues and Royals).
During this period, Prince Harry co-founded the charity Sentebale with Prince Seeiso

A new Household Office was set up at St James’s Palace, London, for Prince Harry
and for his brother, Prince William, in January 2009 to reflect their growing public lives.

The Prince is currently Patron of six organisations (including Sentebale) and
he holds two honorary military appointments (in the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force).

The Prince focuses much of his charitable activity around the Princes’ Charities Forum,
a grouping of organisations with which he and his brother have close links
and which assists in promoting ideas and joint initiatives to the benefit of all the members.
