Prince Harry has been fighting the Taleban on the front line in Afghanistan, the MoD has confirmed.

Harry, 23, who is third in line to the throne, has spent the last 10 weeks serving in Helmand Province.

The prince joked about his nickname "the bullet magnet", but said: "I finally get the chance to do the soldiering that I want to do."

Their may be some "Artisitic licence" to the report, and in general I am neither pro nor anti-monarchy myself.

But if this is true then he has earned a great deal of respect from myself.

Of course many of our other boys put themselves in the line of fire but Harry has so many other options available to him that it is truly commendable of the chap to do so.

A monarch to be proud of???

Pretty clever move by someone - that whole Iraq thing must have been a bluff to divert attention from him going to Helmand.

I quite like Harry, he's more "down with the kids" than William. You could probably get pretty fucked and have a good laugh with Hazza, i reckon Willy would fuck you off after a bit.

Iv'e just watched the videos of him talking about it on the beeb and he comes over as a normal "Down to Earth" chap, the kind of bloke that you could bump into at your local in fact.

He also appears to have a genuine enthusiasm for his job. I vaguely remember him when he was much younger stating that he wanted to be "A normal person", which was understandably (Sp) ridiculed.

I think that he acheived his goal of being a normal person . (In the eyes of the soldiers fighting alongsides him at least)

Isn't it mega-likely-rumouroid that Harry might have a different father?

I'm not bothered about any of them, but on the other hand I'm probably more pro-royalty than against it. If they suddenly decided to use their devine ruling rights after the tabloid monkeys inevitably vote in the next far-right nazi party then I'd be more royalist than a royal favourite. And they're pretty good for tourism.

You're right, the same as Prince Andrew is apparently not fathered by Prince Phillip.

Fair play to Harry though at least he's been consistent and honest about his intentions & ambitions - it's a shame MP's don't take the same view and put themselves on the line for their country.

 Probably missed the opportunity....he used to do his underage drinking in the Rattlebone in Sherston,  been in there myself a few times and the locals would happily trot out Harry stories.

If they did that they would not be MPs....

Have to say I thought he came over well. Certainly a lot better than the "And now our hour long special" fawning twats on ITN. Harry 1-0 News Media. Oh, and where the fuck do the Drudge Report get off, putting people's lives at risk like that? Stick to the B-list Hollywood celebs, assholes

bizarrely i've always found william and harry to be fairly likeable and relatively normal people when they've been interviewed. i fucking hate the royal family but i almost feel sorry for those two for being born into such an inbred institution.

fair play to them.
