Harry's good deed is not his only recent act of kindness.

In October, the royal — who recently completed two months of intense Apache helicopter training in California and Arizona — came to the aid of Lindsay Swagerty, who was thrown into a pool at the Andaz hotel in San Diego fully clothed.

Having an impromptu swim in the pool with pals, Harry immediately came to sopping-wet Swagerty's aid. "He came over to wrap his towel around me," the American office assistant told Us at the time.

The duo spent more time together the next night at the Ivy as well, she says. "He has a very charming personality," Swagerty tells Us. "It was so fun!"
