Prince Harry enters Sandhurst

LONDON, May 6 (UPI) -- Prince Harry reports to Britain's Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst this weekend to begin training for his chosen career.

For the next year, the prince's life will consist of rising at 5:30 in the morning and undergoing strenuous training in military practice and theory, ABC News reports.

"Prince Harry will be treated like every other cadet at Sandhurst," said a statement from Clarence House, the office of the Prince of Wales. "That's what he wants, and that's what Sandhurst wants."

The 20-year-old Harry has already gained something of a reputation. He received a burst of bad publicity after he wore a Nazi uniform to a costume party, with some critics even saying he should give up going to Sandhurst.

His older brother, Prince William, is now in his final year at St. Andrew's University in Scotland. Harry's family does have a military tradition with his grandfather, Prince Philip, serving in the Royal Navy during World War II and his uncle, the Duke of York, piloting a helicopter during the Falklands War.
