Prince Harry’s Helicopter License Under Scrutiny Amid Claims of Inconsistencies
The Sussex PR team recently shared a story suggesting that Prince Harry had joined a helicopter club in Los Angeles, aiming to fly his wife and child around.
However, there have been no sightings of him actually piloting a helicopter, especially with his family on board.
Unlike his brother, Harry appears less enthusiastic about flying helicopters.
Meghan and Harry reportedly stated that Harry had joined an exclusive helicopter club near their new home in Santa Barbara, California.
This decision, they explained, would not only allow Harry to travel with Meghan and Archie but also assist him in keeping an up-to-date helicopter license.
To verify this claim, a source disclosed to a newspaper that Harry had become a member of a local flying club in California to ensure the validity of his helicopter license.
The source emphasized the necessity of fulfilling a specific number of flight hours annually to prevent license expiration, a requirement applicable in both the U.S. and the U.K. A close friend of the prince added that Harry takes pride in his hard-earned license, achieved through dedicated training from basic levels to piloting Apache helicopters.
Although he may not rejoin the military, Harry remains devoted to accumulating flight hours for personal use, facilitating spontaneous adventures with Meghan.
However, recent investigations on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) website failed to uncover any record of Harry's helicopter license.
A Reddit user raised doubts regarding the authenticity of Harry's license, given his claims of flying in California.
Despite efforts to locate his license on the FAA platform, the search yielded no results, casting uncertainty on the existence of a valid license.
The article then delves into Harry's military background, highlighting that he never served as an actual pilot during his military tenure.
Contrary to his assertion of earning his wings, there is no documentation of a ceremony or official announcement by the royal family, as was the case with Prince William.
The narrative speculates on whether Harry may have exaggerated details about his pilot's license, particularly considering the necessity of regular flights to maintain its validity.
The piece questions the credibility of Prince Harry's statements regarding his helicopter license, pointing out the absence of corroborating evidence on the FAA website and indicating inconsistencies in his aviation history.
In another development, the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, faces mounting pressure to resign from his position following abuse allegations at his African charity, African Parks.
Human rights activists are urging Harry to step down from the board while the charity conducts investigations into the accusations.
Fiore Longo, campaigns director of Survival International, expressed hope that Harry would act as the human rights advocate he is expected to be, given his previous discussions on social justice and racism.
Longo emphasized that by associating with an organization, one assumes responsibility for its actions and must act accordingly.
The call for Harry to resign from the board is seen as a signal that human rights violations in the name of conservation are no longer acceptable.
Responding to the allegations, Prince Harry's Archul Foundation informed the Mail on Sunday that upon learning of the serious claims, Harry promptly escalated the matter to the CEO and chairman of African Parks for appropriate action, as reported by the Sunday Times.
