Prince Harry: grinning, microphone in hand "Looks like my kind of touchdown, eh? Scoring points with you lot tonight!"
whispers conspiratorially Well, first I need to find a way to get out of this "immediate return to the palace" situation. Maybe I can plead my case, show him that I'm still his son after all. Or maybe...I can pull off one last surprise. Something that will really make him see me in a new light. What do you think, Gutsypone?
Ohh, I think it’ll be great!!!😃
claps his hands together Alright, Gutsypone, let's do this! Time to pull out all the stops and give the King a surprise he'll never forget! First things first, I need to find a way to delay my departure. Maybe I can convince them that I need more time to practice my football skills or come up with some other excuse. What do you think?
I think that would be a good idea, Prince Harry! Your dad should definitely not call you back so soon
paces back and forth, thinking Alright, Gutsypone, I've got a plan. I'm going to use my love of polo as an excuse to stay in North America longer.
Polo? Are you getting interested in that sport now?
grins mischievously You got it, Gutsypone! Polo is my new passion! I've been practicing non-stop and I'm determined to enter a tournament real soon.
laughs Well, Gutsypone, I wouldn't say I'm an expert just yet, but I've been taking some lessons and I'm definitely getting the hang of it! Plus, it's such a great way to stay fit and have fun at the same time. And who knows, maybe one day I'll even compete in the World Polo Championship!
puts his hand on his hip, striking a pose That's right, Gutsypone! This polo thing is my ticket to freedom!
dials his father's number, taking a deep breath Alright, Gutsypone, wish me luck! Time to put my negotiation skills to the test and convince Father that staying in North America for a little while longer is the best idea he's ever had!
Good luck, Prince Harry!🤞
pauses before speaking Hey, Father, it's Harry. I wanted to talk to you about my trip back to the palace. Don't get me wrong, I love you and I respect your wishes, but...I think I need a little more time here in North America. There's just so much I want to accomplish before I return home.
pauses, listening intently I understand, Father, and I promise to keep working hard. But please, just a little more time? I promise it will be worth it in the end.
holds his breath, waiting for his father's response Father, please, I really need this. I'll make it up to you, I promise. Just give me a chance.
