Prince Harry Hasn't Taken Summer Off From Giving Back
Prince Harry's Summer is all about giving back. The royal kicked off the season by hand-delivering US Staff Sergeant Elizabeth Marks's gold medal from the Invictus Games to the medical staff at Papworth Hospital, and later that month, he attended the annual Trooping the Colour parade, where Princess Charlotte made her Buckingham Palace balcony debut. In addition to his swoon-worthy appearances, Harry has also been hard at work with his Sentebale charity and recently hosted Coldplay and Joss Stone at the palace for a special concert. While Summer is only a slice of Harry's already big year, it's most certainly shaping up to be one of his busiest.
