Prince Harry has revealed he did not inform the Queen of his daring trip to the Arctic in which he battled sub-zero temperatures in a punishing charity trek.

The 26-year-old has told of his father's nerves about the trip and suggested many of his advisors would have warned against the journey, in a region which has since seen a British student killed by a polar bear.
Prince Harry took part in the Walking With The Wounded trek in April this year with a BBC documentary to be aired this month following his journey.
In Harry's Arctic Heroes - to be screened on BBC1 - he admits: "My father obviously knew I was coming out here and so did my brother.
"But I kind of kept it quiet - I don't know why it happened - so my grandparents and the rest of my family probably just found out about it and they probably think I'm completely mad. It's probably right."
The expedition to the North Pole was undertaken by an unsupported team of wounded British soldiers, who covered 160 miles in 12 days with Harry joining them in the early days of the walk - less than a month before his brother William's wedding.
