Prince Harry stretches his legs after 20-hour voyage in latest leg of Caribbean jaunt
PRINCE Harry arrived in Saint Lucia tonight on the latest leg of his 15-day Caribbean tour.
He came ashore in a tender at Pointe Seraphine after a 20-hour voyage from Antigua on a Royal Navy refuelling tanker, RFA Wave Knight.
Wearing a suit and tie in the evening breeze, Harry, 32, received a ceremonial welcome and military parade on the dockside close to where giant cruise ships come in for the day.
Caution beware of falling coconuts - do not stand under trees!
In a speech welcoming him, Saint Lucia's Prime Minister Allen Chastanet, thanked Britain for its help in the aftermath of Hurricane Tomas, which wreaked devastation in St Lucia in 2010, killing 14 and causing £500 damage.
As he came into the dock at Pointe Seraphine Harry was watched by hundreds of passengers on two cruise ships moored nearby.
Some onboard the MS Prinsendam were able to get a bird's eye view from their private balconies.
