Prince Harry: The record breaker!

Last Updated 04 May 2018, 03:17 IST

The 26-year-old third-in-line to the British throne was joined by a string of celebrities for a charity day yesterday in London, raising millions of pounds for 29 UK charities, 'The Sun' reported.

Harry was in the Canary Wharf offices of BGC Partners on behalf of Sentebale, the charity he co-founded to support vulnerable children and orphans in the southern African country of Lesotho.

Foreign exchange broker Robert Sully described his performance as "brilliant". He said: "We told Harry to say '28-year choice', which means you can buy or sell."

Once the deal was done, Harry could proudly boast to have beaten the record set by his brother William last December when he completed a deal worth 14.6 billion pounds.

Harry praised the BGC staff during a pause in the trading, saying, "It's great to see everybody making an effort on Monday morning."

Pointing at one group of traders, he joked: "Most of that corner down there have hangovers."

Speaking about his charity Sentebale, Harry added: "We're doing as much as we can in the time we've got available, but the fact these guys have chosen us as beneficiaries is absolutely fantastic."
