Every time I read a new article on these two I become even more proud of them.
The night Wills and Harry met the real heroes at James Bond premiere
It was their first movie premiere in their own right. (They attended Spiceworld: The Movie in 1997 with their father Prince Charles.) You could call it a genuine excursion by the brothers In Her Majesty's Service. And it had a serious motive.
The aim was to raise more than £500,000 from the evening for two military charities, The Royal British Legion and Help for Heroes.
A Clarence House spokesman said: 'The princes chose these two great causes because they are linked to Remembrance Day, but most importantly because they want to make the point that this is a film about a British action hero, but the money is going to our country's real heroes who put their lives in the line of fire day in, day out, in Iraq and Afghanistan.'
....
Prince Harry was reunited with Royal Marine Mark Ormrod, whom he met previously while touring the Headley Court Rehabilitation Centre. Corporal Ormrod, who had originally trained alongside Harry, later lost both legs and an arm after treading on a landmine.
He said: 'It's great to see Harry again. We are on first name terms, we are mates. He's just one of the lads.'
Harry revealed to one former soldier his favourite James Bond actor.
'There's only one Bond, and that's Sean Connery,' he told a former 9th Para Battalion member Stan Pepper, 88, from Fulham.
Definitely click on the link, there are some really precious photographs of the princes with the soldiers. I added the Legion and Heroes links in case anyone would like to check those sites out and possibly donate!
They are good boys. Any mother would be proud of them.

I think so, too. I know it must be difficult to have so many eyes on you all the time! I am definitely impressed with both of them!
