Prince Harry

Prince Harry

Prince Harry is a fan of heavy metal.

The 29-year-old royal took part in a gruelling 208-mile journey across Antarctica in December where he was accompanied by actor Dominic West and Alexander Skarsgard, in addition to disabled servicemen.

Dominic - who was catapulted to the spotlight as Detective Jimmy McNulty in the HBO drama series 'The Wire' - claims the flame-haired prince had "terrible" tunes to listen to while they did the trek to raise money for the charity Walking with the Wounded.

He told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Harry has a terrible selection on his iPod. It is the sort of thing soldiers listen to, hardcore thrash metal."

Following the mission Harry paid tribute to his teammates for completing the challenge.

He previously said: "This truly unbelievable achievement by everyone behind me... will remind everybody that they can achieve anything they want to. Our wounded, injured and sick [servicemen] they simply want to be treated the same way as before they were injured. With respect.

"For some the journey may be more of a challenge and it is up to us to make it as easy for them as we can. We can do that with training, with employment, or even with adventure."
