Prince Harry (38) dreamed of becoming a ski instructor in Austria when he was at school. In his recently published memoirs, the Brit wrote about his unusual career aspirations.
“Part of me really wanted to do something completely unexpected, something that would make everyone in the family, across the country, sit up and say, ‘What the…'” says Prince Harry’s autobiography, Spare. .
Nice memories of skiing holidays with his mother
During his time at the elite Eton school, Harry thought about his professional future. At first he thought of working at a ski resort in Lech am Arlberg “where Mummy used to take us”. He would have had such fond memories of spending time in the place with his mother, Princess Diana, who passed away in 1997.
At first, Harry wanted to work in the fondue shack
“More specifically, I wanted to work at the fondue shack in town center that Mummy loved. This fondue could change your life,” Harry wrote on page 105 of the German edition of his book. In parentheses, he added his current assessment of his plans: “I was really that crazy.” After that, he wanted to become a ski instructor there.
Charles wanted nothing to do with career plans
His father King Charles III. was not impressed by his considerations: “Out of the question,” he is said to have said to Harry. But Harry, by his own admission, thought a lot about finding his own way and purpose in the world. He was already thinking about breaking out of royal life back then: “Part of me wanted to give up everything and disappear – like Mummy had done.”
