Prince Harry met with five wounded war veterans he plans to accompany for part a 1,000-mile charity walk through the United Kingdom, two days after he announced he is leaving the British military.
The “Walk of Britain” takes place between Aug. 22 and Oct. 31 and its route runs between Scotland and London. The event aims to raise awareness and funds for the organization Walking With the Wounded, which offers support to veterans who suffered physical, mental or social injuries in the line of duty. Harry, 30, is a royal patron of the charity and has taken part in its past treks.
The five-member team is made up of Scott Ransley, Alec Robotham, Matt Fisher, Elspeth De Montes and Stewart Hill. Harry announced their names at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park in London.
