H Now 10 years later Prince Harry’s Sentebale charity in Lesotho is firmly helping orphans and vulnerable children, many of whom are affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Prince Henry Charles Albert David to give him his full correct name, 32, set up the charity in memory of his mother Princess Diana as a mark of respect to her well-documented charity work. In August this year it will be the 20th anniversary of the Princess’s tragic death in a Paris car crash and there isn’t a day goes by that Harry and elder brother William do not think about their mum. Harry has fulfilled that promise he made to himself of the ginger white prince making those tragic kids put laughter back into their lives at Sentebale, which means forget me not, by making regular visits.

And one thing is for certain his sister-in-law would have to find a different kind of Christmas Present for him as she once gave him a ‘grow your own’ girlfriend kit. Harry wants to be a bit more like William, with a wife and family of his own. There is huge speculation and growing daily that Harry and divorcee Meghan will announce their engagement in 2017. Although he has had a number of casual girlfriends there have only been two previously that were serious, Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas. We know Harry is deadly serious about Meghan because he put out a statement in effect confirming they were an item when he hit out at American paparazzi. Recently after a tour of the Caribbean, Harry, instead of flying directly home took a 1,700-mile detour to Toronto, where Suits is filmed, to spend around a day with Meghan. Earlier in the year she flew into London to spend nearly a week at Harry’s London home, Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of .

016 saw Portugal win the European Championships, Andy Murray clinch the world no.1 spot and Team GB surge to their greatest ever Olympic performance in Rio. But 2sport moves on at a pace like no other, so without dwelling too much on the past – our dismal cricketing performance in India for a start - here we look at five of the biggest sporting events worth getting ready for in 2017.

FEBRUARY 4 – SIX NATIONS The Six Nations kicks off in February with reigning champions looking to defend their title for the first time in five years, with 2016 seeing Eddie Jones’ boys in white clinch their first Grand Slam victory since 2003. After a fantastic 2016 which saw England hammer Australia both home and away, hopes are high, with the Three Lions heavy favourites going into the tournament.

APRIL 29 – ANTHONY JOSHUA v WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO After brushing aside 18 previous opponents, British boxer Anthony Joshua defends his heavyweight world title against the legendary Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium in a bout that, if he wins, will surely promote Joshua into the pantheon of British boxing greats.

JUNE 3 – CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL Last year saw the mighty Real Madrid defeat local rivals Atletico for the second year running in a nail-biter of a penalty shootout from which Cristiano Ronaldo’s spot kick won Los Blancos their 10th European title. This year, the final will be held at Cardiff’s National Stadium of .

JULY 3 – WIMBLEDON 2016 was the year that British tennis ace Andy Murray finally knocked the incredible Novak Djokovic from his perch as tennis’ World Number One. Murray will hope to emulate his 2016 triumph over Milos Raonic to consolidate his place at the top of the sport.

AUGUST 4 – IAAF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS After a stunning performance in Rio as part of the 2016 Olympic Games, a host of Britain’s best athletes – including Mo Farah – will be taking to the track in London as part of the World Championships. The biggest story of the Games is likely to be Usain Bolt’s performance, after the nine-time Olympic gold medallist announced these will mark is competitive farewell.
