Prince Harry will spend four months training in Dorset
Prince Harry has joined the Blues and Royals on his first day with the Household Cavalry.

The 21-year-old, who is the third in line to the throne, left Sandhurst last month and began his stint at Combermere Barracks in Windsor on Monday.

Harry will spend two weeks at the Berkshire barracks settling in and getting to know his regiment - a process known as familiarisation.

After that, he will spend four months training at Bovington Camp in Dorset.

The Prince, who is currently known by the rank Cornet, will then become an Armoured Reconnaissance Troop Leader.

Meanwhile, Prince William returned to Sandhurst on Monday for his second term.

At the weekend, both brothers attended the wedding of their step-sister Laura Parker Bowles.
