Prince Harry in Afghanistan by Jana Passova

Prince Harry has chosen to serve in poor and barren zone. Not really comfortable for the member of the Royal family. He has taken a part on the front line with his British army unit in Afghanistan. To serve in combat zone was his requirement to stay in army. The only royal, who served in a such danger place, was his uncle Prince Andrew. He flew helicopters during war in 1982. Officials of Britain were trying to keep Prince's location in secrecy. Unfortunately someone published a video of serving Harry on the U.S. Web site the Drudge Report. Although nothing bad has happened, military chiefs wanted to change Prince's position to ensure his safety. He has been in Afghanistan since Christmas Eve. According to his pronouncement, he is satisfied maybe little bit boring because like he has said, nothing was happening. Soldiers usually serve in Afghanistan six months, but the British Prince has stayed only ten weeks. Harry was supposed to go to Iraq in May last year with Blues and Royals regiment. The situation has changed because of security fears. There occurred some messages on Internet chat rooms, that it would not be a good idea to leave home. Prince Harry had not any privileges in Iraq. He stayed without shower for several days and ate the same corned beef, hash and drank drinks without an alcohol as everybody else. Harry was trained at Sandhurst military academy and joined Blues and Royals in a cornet position. Harry is the third in a line for the throne. His older brother William, the second in a line for the throne, is also graduated from Sandhurst as a military pilot. There is only a small chance, he will ever see combat.
