Prince Harry stepped up for a gay soldier who was facing a homophobic attack from six members of another regiment, the U.K. MailOnline reports.

Lance Cpl. James Wharton told Prince Harry, 28, the besieged soldier's tank commander, "I think I'm going to be murdered by the infantry."

According to the MailOnline, the incident took place in September 2008 during a training exercise in Canada.

The gallant prince called out the openly gay Wharton's tormentors and warned them they faced disciplinary action if they didn't stop and then reported the encounter to a senior officer.

Before the stern warning, Harry told Wharton: "Right I'm going to sort this s--- out once and for all."

Wharton, who quit the army this year, recounts his 10-year military career and time with Harry in his new book, Out In The Army.


"I will always be grateful to Harry and I will never forget what happened," the MailOnline quotes Wharton. "Until he went over and dealt with everything I was on track for a battering."
