Prince Harry: South Pole Trek Is Escape from Prince William's 'Screaming Child'

How far would you go to get away from a crying baby?

Prince Harry joked that he's flown all the way to Antarctica to escape his 4-month-old nephew, Prince George.


Prince William previously acknowledged that his first-born child has "a good pair of lungs on him" and his brother hinted that's why William wishes he was taking part in the 200-mile race to the South Pole.


"I think he's quite jealous I managed to get away from his screaming child," Harry said.


Harry is braving temperatures as low as -58 F to raise money for Walking With the Wounded, but ABC News reports that the prince and his team (who are racing against two other teams captained by actors Dominic West and Alexander Skarsgard) have been prevented from starting their trek by snow storms.


"Ultimately we've had really rubbish weather," he admitted in an interview from his Antarctic base camp, as he said there was no way he was dropping out of the challenge, not matter how bad the conditions got.


"I know it's slightly mad, but I've got four limbs and I'm completely fine – well, almost fine up here," he said pointing to his head.


The race is expected to take 21 days, and each day the teams will spend 12 hours skiing with 10-minute rest breaks every two hours.


William, meanwhile, wasn't exactly seething with jealousy. Instead, on Tuesday, he entertained guests for another charity, Centrepointe, including a very excited Taylor Swift.
