Prince Harry is expected to announce he will join a group of wounded soldiers trekking to the South Pole.
The official launch of the Walking With The Wounded polar challenge will be held this week and even though the 28-year-old prince has not yet publicly spoken about taking part it is thought he may join the participants because he is also a patron of the charity.
In March 2011, he joined an amputee team which trekked to the North Pole alongside Captain Disney, 30, who lost his right leg in battle.

Captain Disney told The Telegraph: 'I know he'd want to be involved. He's a soldier - of course he'd love to do this. But first and foremost I'd like him to be there because he is a really good bloke.'
Prince Harry, or Captain Wales as he is known in the military, was involved in a two-part documentary called Harry's Heroes which was filmed during the trip to the North Pole.
He had to cut the expedition short because of his brother William's wedding.
During the documentary he said: 'These guys have been to hell and back and come out the other side.
'They are amazing, absolutely astonishing; the inspiration they give to everyone is unbelievable.
'I guess I have three different lives. One is my military life, one is my private life, one is the public stuff. But me as a military man is my number one favourite, because I get to spend time with people like this.'
The expedition will take place as a race between a British team, a U.S. team and a team representing the Commonwealth countries Canada and Australia.
Following extensive training, from cold weather training in Iceland in March, to team training through the summer and a final session of snow preparation in October, the teams will fly to Antartica in November.
They aim to reach the South Pole around December 17.
'I am delighted to be Patron of the Allied South Pole Challenge, their latest ambitious project. Not only will this involve wounded personnel from the United Kingdom, but there will be a team from the United States and a team from the Commonwealth. This means the awareness created will be global, and will not only show the tenacity of these young men and women, but also the strong links between our Allies, off the battlefield as well as on.
'The Allied Challenge in 2013 promises to be a quite remarkable endeavour. I urge everyone to get behind the expedition and ‘Support the Walk’.
