Prince Harry marks 21st birthday in sober style
By Catherine McAloon Associated Press
LONDON - Britain's Prince Harry will spendhis 21 st birthday Thursday in thesobersettingofhismilitary academy but says he has no plans to tone down his wild child image. "I am who I am and I'm not going to change," Harry said in a round of interviews with news organizations ahead of his birthday. Royal watchers predict the milestone may mark the maturing of the royal family's most wayward son. Harry frequently appears in the pages of Britain's tabloid newspapers with a cigarette or can of beer in hand and made headlines this year when he chose a Nazi outfit for a fancy dress party. Royal watchers have credited Harrys blooming maturity to his en- rollment at the prestigious Sandhurst military academy in May, a program which included a grueling five-week induction. "I think he's buckled under to the team spirit of being a cavalry officer. I imagine he's had to grow up pretty quickly," said Cathy Brooks-Baker of Burke's Peerage.
