Prince Harry has carried out his first solo overseas tour with aplomb! Massive cheers and unanimous praise all around as he visited Belize, The Bahamas, Jamaica and Brazil from 2-11 March in behalf of the Queen for her Diamond Jubilee year. Very natural. Laid back. At ease with the people. He earned rapturous reviews everywhere as he boogied with the locals, hugged a republic-driven Prime Minister, received kisses from models and beat world-class athletes. Surely he did Her Majesty proud! Here are the highlights of his very successful tour:
