Prince Harry Visits South African Boys Center & Jokes About Prince William's "Cool" Factor

His Royal Highness, Prince Harry, has arrived in South Africa to visit the Ottery Youth Center in Cape Town. People reported, "When Harry arrived the group had little idea of who he was, so he introduced himself as Queen Elizabeth's grandson and Princess Diana's son." The prince joked with the group about his alleged perception of his older brother, Prince William, after confessing to wanted to be a bad boy at school when he was younger. He said, "If you've got an older brother that's not into hangs, that's a huge positive." He added, "Older brothers are supposedly the cools ones. I'm a younger brother, but I'm much cooler than my older brother."

All jokes aside, Harry was on a mission to see how the young men are doing as well as to encourage them to not give in to peer pressure. One of the boys named Lucky has been there for two years learning how to control his anger but was happy to express his excitement to have met the prince. He said, "I thought [Prince Harry] was going to come here with a lot of body guards. But he didn't - he was a cool guy. My heart felt like I was in heaven." The late Princess's youngest son left the center with a decorated wood carving with a picture of Harry in his mother's arms.

Kensington Palace also reported on Harry's visit with Archbishop Desmond Tutu at the Nobel Peace Prize winners foundation offices to talk human rights and employment for young South Africans. The New York Times says, "Tutu thanked Harry for his work in Lesotho, saying he was 'touched' by the prince's commitment to a country where Tutu once served as bishop."

In a generous gesture from the Queen of Great Britain, Harry presented Dr. Tutu with the Order of Companions of Honor, "to recognize the South African's work to end apartheid." This honor was created in 1917 by King George V and has only sixty-five members, including the Queen herself.
