Lance Cpl James Wharton says that Harry stepped in after a group of infantrymen made life difficult for him and called out those in question.
While training in Canada in 2008, the then 21-year-old went to Harry, his commander, in tears fearing for his life.

Gratitude
Harry listened to the soldier’s concerns before stating: “Right I’m going to sort this s*** out once and for all.”
The Royal then stepped in and blasted the offending troops before reporting them to a senior officer.
Lance Cpl Wharton has since left the forces, but is due to release a book about his life and experiences, Out in the Army. In it he tells of his gratitude to Prince Harry for helping him.
