Guess he'll be home in time to give that best man toast after all.

After being stranded an extra day in the Arctic as part of an expedition for the Walking With the Wounded charity, Prince Harry is now on his way back to Britain, E! News can confirm.

"Prince Harry was stranded for a day due to a cracked ice runway at Barneo ice station, but is being flown home today," a rep for the charity says.

That's good news for royal wedding watchers.

No one wants to see His Royal Highness stuck on the North Pole when his older brother and heir to the British throne, Prince William, weds Kate Middleton later this month.

The April 29 nuptials are expected to be one of the most watched television events in history, with an audience of up to 2 billion predicted to tune in.
