Mission complete: Prince Harry and his fellow adventurers make it to the South Pole after completing gruelling 200 mile trek .

                                                                 Congrats Prince Harry...

Prince Harry celebrated a marathon charity trek to the South Pole with a group of injured servicemen yesterday, declaring: ‘I think we’ll be having a few whiskies tonight!’

Sporting a fulsome ginger beard after his three gruelling weeks on the ice, the royal was full of praise for his teammates, all of whom have suffered terrible injuries fighting for their country, including one soldier who lost both his legs in Afghanistan.

‘It will just prove to everybody that there’s so much that can be made possible when you think that nothing is left,’ said the prince.

                                                                                                                                           The Walking With The Wounded South Pole Allied challenge saw three teams of servicemen – from Britain, the Commonwealth and the US – racing to reach the bottom of the world.

The teams travelled a distance of 208 miles across some of the most inhospitable conditions known to man, with temperatures of up to minus 50 degrees and biting winds.

Such was the camaraderie, however, the men and women linked hands as they walked the last few yards of the route to stand together at the bottom of the world at 12.48pm.

Army air corps pilot Harry, who was also patron of the expedition, said from the ice afterwards: ‘Every single one of these twelve deserves it. All twelve of them have different reasons for being here….but I’m so proud, I’m so chuffed, I’m so privileged to be here with all these guys and girls. What an amazing accomplishment.

‘I think we’ll be having a few whiskies tonight and then everyone’s looking forward to getting home. Mission success!’

He went on: '[The team] has dug out blind to get here, Duncan you know, it’s just remarkable the fact that someone with no legs has made it here, and to have done it in record breaking time, no doubt.

'This will just prove to everybody that there’s so much that can be made possible when you think that nothing is left'

'And Ivan as well, when I look across I see him being guided around you know, totally blind, from America, and absolutely hates the cold, and you know he’s not doing it for himself, he’s doing it for his buddies back home, and that goes for everybody, every single one here.

'It’s not just for the small minority that are here but hopefully in time to come through the documentary, and all the stories back home.

'It will just prove to everybody that there’s so much that can be made possible when you think that nothing is left.'

The teams will spent another two nights camping out on the South Pole before they can be flown out back to base camp. Harry aims to be back in the UK on December 23, just in time for Christmas
