Prince Charles sends his sons on a South African safari, accompanied by Prince William’s minder, Marko, and their nanny, Tiggy. Prince William keeps his distance from his younger brother.

Everyone else panics, but Harry calmly steps toward the leopard, believing that the creature is a sign sent by his mother.

Part 1, Chapters 25-29 Summary

Prince Charles and his sons often visit friends in Norfolk during the holidays. Harry enjoys fighting with the family’s four sons and often rescues his brother. They progress to BB guns and aiming fireworks at one another. When no one else is around, Harry and Prince William fight with each other. Prince William feels that their father favors Harry during these fights. One day, Prince Charles orders Prince William out of the car and makes him walk behind them. At Balmoral, Harry hunts red deer for the first time. He shoots a stag, and his guide, Sandy, pushes him into the blood of the carcass.

Harry goes skiing in Klosters with his father. In exchange for privacy during the rest of the holiday, they must endure “the Wall”—an official photoshoot with reporters.
