It's going to be all work for the Duke of Sussex this Valentine's Day. As per a recent announcement by the Kensington Palace, the Duke of Sussex will be travelling 200 miles inside the Arctic Circle in North Norway on February 14 to visit the Exercise Clockwork.
It was shared by their Twitter handle which read, "The Duke of Sussex, Captain General @RoyalMarines, will visit Exercise Clockwork to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the operation in Bardufoss, Norway on Thursday 14th February." The purpose behind Prince Harry's visit is to celebrate 50 years of Commando Helicopter Force and Joint Helicopter Command deploying to Bardufoss to train individuals for extreme cold weather. As Harry is the Captain General of the Royal Marines, he will be overseeing the training.

For this visit, Prince Harry won't be travelling with his wife, Meghan Markle. For those living under the rock, Meghan is currently pregnant with the couple's first child. During one of her trips to London, the Duchess of Sussex revealed that she is due to give birth in late April. Perhaps due to her pregnant state and her nearing the due date, Meghan is avoiding international trips. However, she is constantly engaged in her official duties. As per reports, Meghan and Harry will be visiting Bristol together on Friday. They also plan to attend the Endeavour Fund Awards on February 7.
Sadly, with work beckoning the Prince, there won't be a Valentine's Day celebration. Last Valentine's Day was also a busy one for Harry, who showed up to an official event without Meghan. He joined his father, Prince Charles, to honour the 2018 International Year of the Reef in London.
