I understand, but I have to take issue with you here in regard to Prince Harry. He is a member of the Armed forces and is going there to do his job, his duty, just as any other British soldier is, in fact just as the people you write about are. I am sure his mother, family and friends are as concerned about him as you are about your family & friends.
The fact that he is a member of the Royal family will not protect him from a bullet or a bomb.

btw. just so you know, I am not a big fan of Royalty by any means, I just admire Harry & his family for not using his rank to avoid his serving out there.
