Prince Harry is to leave the armed forces this year, the Evening Standard revealed.
He has taken the decision to end his active military career after having served two tours of duty on the front line in Afghanistan with distinction.
Harry, 30, plans to focus on his charity work and aims to spend “a significant period abroad” on field projects in Africa.
The Prince, known as Captain Harry Wales in the military, is keen to pursue his interests in “conservation and wildlife”. Until he leaves the forces  - and also in future years - it is believed he will focus on programmes to aid the rehabilitation of injured service staff.
But before his active military duties end, the Standard understands he will move to Australia for “several weeks”, seconded to serve with units. Later he will spend time in New Zealand but not be involved with the military there.
Harry is expected to join his father Prince Charles at the 100th anniversary Anzac Day dawn service at Gallipoli in April. It is understood he will already have travelled to Australia before flying to Turkey for that significant engagement.
Sources in Australia say the prince is expected to fulfil several other non-military public duties Down Under.
The governor generals’ offices in Australia and New Zealand are understood to be currently working on his programme. Kensington Palace would not comment on if and when he will leave active service.
But a spokesman said: “Prince Harry is currently focused on his work supporting the ministry of defence’s recovery capability programme to ensure those who are wounded, injured or sick have appropriate recovery plans and the necessary support they require.
“It’s a natural progression from the work he did organising the Invictus Games. This involves working alongside case officers in London District’s personal recovery unit, and visiting various recovery centres and partner agencies (such as forces charities and the NHS) around the country.”
A senior source told us: “The prince thought long and hard about his decision to leave active military service but, having served his country on two tours of duty, he felt the time was right to leave. He has loved his time serving.
“Officials are still working on the precise timings but he will leave the military this year after serving Down Under. Before that he will travel to both countries and be based there, and is very much looking forward to that.
“The exact timings have not been finalised yet, but are expected to be announced officially very soon.”
Another source said: “Harry just felt it was time for a new chapter in his life. One of his plans is to spend a significant period in Africa working on areas to do with conservation and wildlife.
“He will also focus on his charities and maintain his interests in highlighting the plight of injured service staff.”
The prince will also continue to represent the Queen on official duties both at home and abroad.
Harry - who completed two combat tours in Afghanistan and spent five months in the cockpit of a helicopter gunship there - has described his role as an Apache pilot fighting the Taliban as “the best experience ever” but ended his flying career last January.
He joined the army in 2005 after graduating at Sandhurst and begged defence chiefs to let him serve in Iraq.
Harry, fourth in line to the throne, was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals in 2006. An initial decision to let him serve on the front line was reversed after fears that he might be targeted by insurgents.
