Showing up to participate in an honorable day, Prince Harry headed over to Portsmouth Naval Base followed by a visit to the Mary Rose Museum in the UK on Friday (March 18).
The young prince presented medals to members of the First and Second Mine Countermeasures Squadrons at Portsmouth Naval Base to mark their service in Iraq.
Shortly after, the 26-year-old made his to help lay the foundation stone for the new museum that will house Henry VIII’s flagship, Mary Rose.
In his commemorative speech, Prince Harry said, "I am delighted to be able to mark another milestone today in the extraordinary history of the Mary Rose. This Foundation Stone in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard moves us a step closer to turning the vision and hard work of so many over the past 30 years - some might say 500 years - into reality. This will be a special place of celebration and learning for future generations, and one of commemoration for the English sailors and soldiers who lost their lives in the disaster on 19th July, 1545.
I would like to acknowledge the longstanding support for this project of my father, The Prince of Wales. I am so pleased to be building - quite literally - on his good work of so many years.
I wish every success to the volunteers and world leading experts, who are working towards the completion of the new Mary Rose Museum."
