According to E! Online, the teams are being forced to leave ahead of schedule – due to weather conditions. Here’s what they said;
Prince Harry‘s eventful journey to the South Pole has come to an end.
Organizers announced that the 29-year-old royal, along with his Walking With the Wounded teammates, True Blood star Alexander Skarsgård and The Wire’s Dominic West departed Novolazarevskaya Station in Antarctica on Wednesday, Dec. 18, for Cape Town, South Africa.
The sooner-than-expected exit, which was scheduled at the end of this week, is due to the onset of a major Antarctic storm. If the group got caught in the dangerous weather, their return for Christmas would have been jeopardized.
The teams are due to arrive back in the U.K. on Dec. 23, just in time for the holidays.
I’m sure you’ll agree…their safety is much more important than anything else. It was a great cause and I’m sure they enjoyed seeing the South Pole. I’m glad Alex will be home in time for the holidays.
