Prince Harry – A Very Royal Comic Book Reader
Man maybe I shouldn't have written a comic book about his brother.
Harry, 30, disclosed his reading habits to cartoonist Will Kevans, a former Welsh Guardsman who gave him a comic strip book he has created about the 1982 Falklands war.
"I don't read many books but I love comics," the Prince told him when he visited the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey. "I might actually read that."
Mr Kevans, 51, who was at the Abbey for an exhibition by the Army Arts Society, told yesterday how Harry made his day by coming over to chat about his graphic work, My Life In Pieces: The Falklands War.
While the Daily Mail tells us,
In recent years he has turned his hand to drawing war-related cartoons and decided to create a book that depicted his experiences of being in the Welsh Guards during the Falklands War.
'It's a graphic novel which has taken two and a half years and was quite emotional as it was the first time I had contacted some of the guys I worked with for about 30 odd years,' said Mr Kevans, whose company was attached to 40 Commando.
He was at the exhibition with a copy of his book and several other pieces of his artwork, including a scaled down version of a First World War scene he had depicted.
It was this that caught the prince's eye as he strolled over to have a chat with Mr Kevans.
'He came over and asked how much it was and I said "£150 but I will do you a discount" and he laughed.'
The prince also had a look at his book 'My Life In Pieces: The Falklands War' and was impressed by his drawings.
'I think it struck a nerve with Harry – he's a young lad and a lot of us were still reading comic books when we went off to war so I think people can relate to it.
'My style is a bit Dennis the Menace so when I finished the book I wasn't sure how it would be received but it seems to have gone down very well.'
He added: 'Harry also spotted a smaller drawing I had done of the Welsh Guard on RFA Sir Galahad and we had a chat about that. I was really pleased Prince Harry connected with it.
'I told him about an incident that happened to us where we saw one of our soldiers pass away and we chatted about his regiment, The Blues and Royals, which are very closely connected to the Welsh Guards.'
