Prince Harry has reportedly been paying secret visits to a US air force base after he was stripped of his military patronages when he and Meghan stepped down from the Royal Family.
Even though Harry doesn't have an official role in the UK Army, he has allegedly been meeting up with old friends from when he was an Apache helicopter pilot, according to The Sun.
It is believed that two of his old colleagues are now at Nellis base near Las Vegas - where the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor programme (commonly known as TOPGUN) are trained.
A source told the publication: 'Harry has kept in touch with them so when they knew he was moving to the States they invited him to come and see them.

'He's made informal visits to the air base where they are and they've been out for drinks in their down time.'
Prince Harry, 36, is now prevented from wearing full military regalia. Should he attend a Remembrance Sunday event he could wear his medals and a regimental beret but not a uniform.
Garments he should no longer wear are understood to include the Blues and Royals frockcoat worn on his wedding day in May 2018 and the Royal Marines dress uniform he wore to the Royal Albert Hall in March 2020, shortly before he stepped down as a senior royal.

It is believed that Harry is visiting friends he made while completing a helicopter training programmed at a US military base in California in 2011.
Back in 2005 Prince Harry, then aged only 20, climbed the ornate steps of the Old College at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst
