The 35-year-old prince shared a video message with soldiers at the launch of The Walk of Oman, which will see a team of former service personnel trekking 400km across the Middle Eastern country.

The team taking part will have to endure scorching hot temperatures as they pull their custom-built cart around 20km a day across the Omani desert.

In the clip, Harry congratulated those taking part, saying: “You represent the whole veteran community and I have no doubt that throughout this opportunity you will demonstrate the resilience, courage, and talent that exists within those who have served.”

The former soldier – who quit as a full-time royal with wife Duchess Meghan earlier this year and relocated to the US – expressed his joy that the event was taking place despite the challenges caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

He said: “We are all delighted that the Walk-in Oman continues to go ahead, despite the challenging environment we are all faced with at the moment.

“This itself is an administration of the remarkable long-standing friendship our country has with Oman and it shows the determination of those that were selected for the walk.”

Harry, who has been a supporter of the charity for several years, went on to say a special congratulations for the UK team members and to “wish them well as they prepare for the epic journey they will be embarking on”.

He concluded: “Good luck preparing for the desert, stay safe and I’ll see you soon.”
