(7 May 2015) Hundreds of cheering Australians crowded around Sydney's Opera House on Thursday to bid adieu to Britain's Prince Harry as he wrapped up a month-long embedment with the Australian army.
The prince, whose decade-long military career will end next month, took part in a military exercise on Sydney Harbour before chatting with dozens of giggling primary school students on the Opera House's steps.
He later signed autographs, snapped photos and shook hands with hordes of royal enthusiasts, several of whom held up signs blaring "Marry Me Harry" and "His Royal Hotness!"
One crown-wearing woman, among those pleading for a proposal, managed to land a kiss on the laughing prince's cheek.
Captain Harry Wales, as he is known in the British Army, spent four weeks embedded with a number of Australian army units and regiments in Darwin, Perth and Sydney.
He took part in flight simulation training, learned wilderness survival techniques, visited an Aboriginal community and played a game of wheelchair Aussie-rules football with wounded soldiers.
