Prince Harry In Sydney

[icyfroth]

PRINCE Harry has appeared in a helicopter over Bondi Beach as part of a military exercise in Sydney this morning causing a wave of adoring fans to look to the skies.

did Donna wave to him I wonder?

He will be greeted by NSW Premier Mike Baird at the Opera House at 12.30pm and give Aussies the chance to see their favourite red-headed royal.

Prince Harry will be in Wellington on Saturday, and his New Zealand trip will take him from Stewart Island in the far south to Auckland on the North Island.

His warrior skills will be put to the test when he learns the army’s own haka when visiting Linton Military Camp during the week-long tour.

The prince — who has twice been deployed in Afghanistan — will retire from the British defence force at the end of the trip. He will then travel back to the UK, where he will meet his newborn niece, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

I just saw the channel 9 news piece on his visit today. I'm far from a royalist but I think he comes across as a generally decent, pleasant bloke. He doesn't even have a particularly plummy accent.

I wonder if he knows number 982 was told by a previous minister he'd never be allowed to practice medicine in Australia.

He asked to meet the doctor (because of his work for British veterans), formally known by number when in detention centre.

I couldn't find any evidence of the statement he'd never be allowed to practice medicine in Australia.  However, I did find ......

So how did this one-time boat person get to where he is today? At Curtin Detention Centre in WA’s far north Kimberley region, where he landed after arriving on a leaky, overcrowded wooden boat on 8 November, 1999, he was warned not to set his expectations too high.

As an English speaker, he had the opportunity to speak to then immigration minister Philip Ruddock during an official inspection of the facility. "We were having a conversation and I said that I was a doctor," recalls Dr Al Muderis. "He said you will probably never prove your qualification [in Australia]."

This, however, appears to have only strengthened the young doctor’s resolve. “If you want something and you are determined, anything is possible,” he says. “Australia is the land of opportunity."
