Chris Cantell Discusses UK News: What a man! by Claudia Sonea

Prince Charming!fairytale, but Prince Harry has all the features of an authentic knight in shinning armor and can sweep you of you feet. He is handsome, brave and he is not afraid to stand out and fight for his beliefs. In Afghanistan the Ministry of Defense announced Thursday that the Prince fought on the front line with the British Army, calling in airstrikes on Taliban positions and going out on foot patrols. Harry, third in line to the throne, went in Afghanistan on December and since then he managed to be an example, so they say- the officials like the head of the army, Gen. Richard Dannatt. The prince is a lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment and the planned deployment was presented very elliptically to the reporters, with no specific date, and was not reported previously under a pool agreement between the Ministry of Defense and all major news organizations operating in Britain, including The Associated Press with the purpose to reduce the risk to the prince and his regiment. However, there was a leak and an Australian magazine and a German newspaper, and then a U.S. Web site, the Drudge Report, managed to break the news on his deployment. In the restive Helmand province, where most of the 7,800 British troops in Afghanistan are based, according to the military's statement, the prince wanted to be deployed and in an interview he said he was happy to be standing shoulder-to- shoulder with his colleagues. He also expressed bitter disappointment when he was banned from going to Iraq with his battalion last year. Video footage of Harry in Afghanistan showed the prince dressed in camouflage fatigues patrolling arid and dusty terrain, firing a machine gun. Nevertheless Harry graduated from Sandhurst military academy in 2006 being trained as a tank commander. For all the pretty ladies out there, this gorgeous prince is still single and not afraid to stand out from the codes imposed by the nobility and his grand-mother. Why are you still waiting, light a candle and pray for him, so that God protect him.
