Prince Harry banned from Afghan war zone

[von-Scharnhorst]

Prince Harry is to be denied the chance of serving on the front line in the war in Afghanistan.
The decision by senior commanders will be a huge blow to the Prince, who only recently threatened to quit the Army unless he was allowed to fight alongside his fellow officers.
Although a formal decision on future postings for the third in line to the throne has yet to be made, senior sources in the Prince's regiment, the Household Cavalry, say that they believe it is too dangerous for him to deploy to Afghanistan. The move will have important ramifications for the Royals, generations of whom have served in the Armed Forces.
If Harry, 21, is not sent to Afghanistan it raises questions over whether Royals should join the armed services in the future. Harry would have been only the second Royal since the Second World War to be posted to a battle zone. The other was Prince Andrew, who flew Sea King helicopters in the Falklands War in 1982.
The Mail on Sunday revealed in April that Harry had told senior officers: "If I am not allowed to join my unit in a war zone, I will hand in my uniform."

What they really mean of course, is that the Prince would be one body bag that the government, and the press could NOT ignore, in the interests of "moral", as they have with the other 41 soldiers that have been sneaked back into U.K, in under cover opperations that would put the KGB to shame.
