\"Prince<\/a>Prince Harry\u2019s decade-long career with the Army has ended, Kensington Palace has said.
\nThe fifth-in-line to the throne will spend the next three months carrying out voluntary work with conservation experts in Africa.
\nHe will travel to Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Botswana.
\nHarry said he had an \u201cepic 10 years\u201d and that Army life kept him \u201cout of trouble\u201d when speaking about his decision to leave last month.
\nHe has promised to keep work with military personnel in the Commonwealth as a \u201cpermanent feature\u201d of his royal and charitable duties.
\nFrom the autumn he will work as a volunteer with a Personnel Recovery Unit in London, where he will help wounded soldiers with their rehabilitation.
\nHarry had announced in February that he would be leaving the Army.
\nHarry was away on leave for his last official day in the Army, on Thursday, and will hold a formal farewell meeting with his commanding officer later in the year.
\nSpeaking recently about his decision to join the forces, he said: \u201cI did it because since I was a kid I enjoyed wearing the combats, I enjoyed running around with a rifle, jumping in a ditch and living in the rain, and stuff.
\n\u201cBut then when I grew up, it became more than that, it became an opportunity for me to escape the limelight.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve had an epic 10 years, I\u2019ve had great fun. The Army keep giving me great jobs, and I can never thank them enough for that.\u201d
\nHe also said it had been a difficult decision to leave and that he dreaded to think where he would have been without the experience.
\nIn southern Africa, he will be involved in \u201cfront-line conservation projects\u201d, having developed a programme with conservation experts, including those from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL).
\nHe will learn about environmental education programmes as well as working \u201cat the sharp end of wildlife protection\u201d, joining rangers who respond to reports of poaching attacks on elephants and rhino, and spending time with vets who try to save animals after attacks.
\nHarry is understood to be leaving for Africa next week.<\/p>\n
