get them tickets so they could witness and get a glimpse of the prince. >> we're looking at video now. you know, not bad. we expect to see him on a polo horse which he'll be doing later today. this wasn't bad at all. so, nice. prince harry. you've got to talk about the timing of this tour, whether or not intended to coincide with the fact the issues with bp and a bit of tension between the u.s. and the uk. this might do a little bit to calm that. >> reporter: i think so. you know, you can -- you get a sense that prince harry certainly likes america and definitely likes to visit new york. he has a tight schedule when he's here. but he also makes time to take in some of the new york sights, american pastimes. he also likes to mingle with people alongside the route. you never know if he's going to break out of the ranks and say hi. >> we'll deep an eye on the race. thank you for doing that for us
