Prince Harry is looking for a full-time job after making the “really tough” decision to leave the Army.
Speaking for the first time about his choice to bring his active military career to an end, he said he had reached a “crossroads” and was looking forward to starting a “new chapter” in his life.
Kensington Palace confirmed that the Prince, 30, will end his ten-year military career in June, after which he will be “actively considering other longer term employment opportunities”.
A source close to the Prince said his options were “wide and varied” but he was likely to look for a role with a charity or “in some form of public service”, following the example of his brother, the Duke of Cambridge, who has taken a job as an air ambulance pilot after leaving the RAF.
“The one thing he won’t be doing is full-time royal duties,” said the source, “but he will continue to fulfil royal engagements as and when he is asked to.”
He is leaving in April for Australia.
Anyone else thinks Harry doesn't want to be around when all the fuss and attention is focused on Kate, William and new baby.

As he is leaving the army in June why is the army even bothering - this is a waste of the taxpayers money both here and in the UK. This secondment should be going to someone who will actually be able to use the experience not to someone who will barely have time to write a report on their experience before they are out of the army.
My only question is, why he is so urgent to quit. He can find a new job first and then quit the old job. That is what people usually do. And in this case, it would have much better PR. I don't think the Army will force him to quit.
I don't think he has real any role and would have to move on to a desk job. I have faith he is doing the right thing ?

I have faith too. But I am just curious of the reason. Doing desk job might be dull, but still some form of experience. And his statement says he is going to look for a new job. Even though he will come back to Britain in September, he will be still jobless. Without a new job, and quit the old job. In this case, you can not blame people to be cynical.
I think there's a plan that we don't know about. Both William and Harry have to be ready to step up at any time. Anyway we shall see

I agree, there is probably a plan in place, and it has not been communicated just yet.
No wife. No job. Still living on royal handouts. MICHAEL THORNTON, a huge admirer, explains why the LAST thing Harry needs is ANOTHER gap year | Daily Mail Online
Following in William's footsteps. A gap year or two...
Would Henry be able to take a leave of absence from Australia for Prince George's birthday and then fly back to Australia?
I like the referral that Harry is a justly popular and likeable young Jack the Lad. This is the first time I have heard this referral.

But even if he were in Australia during that time, I don't think the distance would hinder him going back to London for George's birthday (or any other personal reason). I mean, he'll be flying to Turkey during his stay in Australia and that's a pretty long distance.
