Then came two years with the Recces, the South African Special Forces, during which Harry attempted to assassinate Robert Mugabe and Joshua N'Komo. Returning to England, Harry passed the rigorous selection procedure for the SAS. He served for six years in the elite force and played a secret role in the Falklands war. He also served two tours with the SAS anti-terrorist team. On leaving the SAS, he joined the RUC and spent six years policing the trouble spots of Belfast.
