Prince Harry is reportedly leaving the Army this year to focus on charity work.

The prince, who joined the armed forces in 2005, has previously served two tours of duty in Afghanistan.

Harry intends to focus on conservation and wildlife, undertaking field projects in Africa, according to the Evening Standard.

He is also believed to be focusing on the rehabilitation of injured service personnel until he leaves the Army, complimenting his support of the Invictus Games.

"We would not comment on the future careers of any of our soldiers and officers," said an Army spokesman on Friday (January 27).

"Prince Harry is currently focused on his work supporting the Ministry of Defence's recovery capability programme to ensure those who are wounded, injured or sick have appropriate recovery plans and the necessary support they require," read an official palace statement.

"It's a natural progression from the work he did organising the Invictus Games. This involves working alongside case officers in London District's personal recovery unit and visiting various recovery centres and partner agencies (such as forces charities and the NHS) around the country."

Prince Harry, who currently holds the rank of captain, will continue to represent the Queen on official duties.

Emma Watson recently appeared to dismiss rumours that she is dating Prince Harry, strongly suggesting that there is no truth in the reports.
