True grit of Harry's heroine: War veteran who completed 1,000-mile trek with injured leg posts defiant pictures after having her limb amputated... and has been contacted daily by 'awestruck' Prince
- Kirstie Ennis was injured in 2012 in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan
- She walked from Scotland to London for Walking with the Wounded
- Veteran underwent her 39th operation to amputate her leg this week
- Prince Harry has been in daily contact with her since the operation
She is the wounded war veteran who stole the hearts of a nation, and the admiration of a Prince, by bravely completing a 1,000-mile charity trek – despite suffering agony with a badly injured leg.
Now Kirstie Ennis, who walked nearly the length of Britain to help raise £250,000 for Prince Harry’s troops’ charity, has again proved her true grit by undergoing a traumatic amputation – and posting a series of defiant pictures online.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Harry has been in daily contact with the 24-year-old since the operation to remove her lower left leg on Monday.
Red alert: Wounded veteran Kirstie Ennis is a picture of defiance before her operation. The image, described as ‘A creative start to the send-off for my leg’, was taken just before the operation and shows her posing seductively in a red bikini
