The prince also made news recently for another heroic effort involving his role in the military. A new book written by an openly gay British soldier said Harry protected him from a homophobic attack while the two served together.

The young soldier also spoke highly of the prince's overall support, professionalism and his down-to-earth nature in the book, "Out in the Army.”
