PRINCE Harry should remember he leapt on to The Sun’s bandwagon to support wounded veterans — not the other way round.

In 2007 — before Harry went to Afghanistan — The Sun was doing everything to support the fledgling charity Help for Heroes.

I photographed Prince William at the England sports centre, St George’s Park in Derbyshire, wearing a Help for Heroes wristband.

I was desperate to get Harry to do the same. He was on the Isle of Wight and I waited for him at Portsmouth.

His press officer did not think the picture would be possible and gave me the indication that Harry wasn’t interested.

How wrong he was. When Harry stepped off the boat and I asked him to wear the wristband, he said “Give it to me”, put it on his arm and held it up in triumph.

Even though the light was fading it was one of the best pictures I did of a celebrity wearing this tribute to our injured heroes.

Harry was so enthusiastic to help us promote the cause. So, I was amazed to see him griping on Netflix about feeling abandoned.

He only had to pick up the phone and he could get the best people available in the world to help him.

When I see severely wounded servicemen still smiling I wonder what has Harry got to complain about?
