One can never truly be a prince unless one has held a sword in his hand, right?
Well, we now know Prince Harry is indeed in a league of his own as he showed off his swordsmanship while on a three-day tour in Oman.
Brandishing a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, the 30-year-old royal looked every inch the armed warrior as he tried his hand at fencing – Omani style.
Harry was given the impressive weapon and invited to take on an opponent during a visit to a historic fort in Nizwa, which has stood onslaughts for centuries. The young Prince took on a warrior double his age – Mohammed Moussa, 60, in the traditional sword fight.
