It says Harry - but that's often a nickname for Henry, so he could have used either (possibly!)

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Hi, the recent classic of using Henry and Harry - is Prince Harry who was baptised Henry, but Prince Charles and the Princess of Wales announced very shortly after his birth that he would be known as Harry.
So this interchange has gone on for years.

No Xin, I think she means she is NOW looking for him, since she now knows his real name.

My grandfather was baptised and registered as Harry. NEVER Henry.

I know ... It was a Xin attempt at humour... but these days...  well I maybe miss the mark!
