The Duke of Sussex is spending his first Valentine's Day as a married man in one of the planet's harshest climates, meeting British armed forces taking part in winter survival training inside the Arctic Circle.
Harry will today experience the icy wilds of northern Norway when he meets British servicemen undergoing the gruelling Exercise Clockwork during a tour of their base on Thursday.
The duke, who is due to become a father for the first time when the Duchess of Sussex gives birth later this year, was met with temperatures just over freezing point for his visit to the Bardufoss air station, 200 miles (322km) within the Arctic Circle.
Harry's trip marks the 50th anniversary of Commando Helicopter Force and Joint Helicopter Command deploying to the remote base.

The multinational exercise, hosted by the Norwegian Armed Forces, comprises environmental flying qualifications, cold weather survival, and snow and ice driving courses.
Harry, in his role as Captain General Royal Marines, will meet some of the 1,000 military personnel living and training at the base.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
