News from the United Kingdom this hour tells us that Prince Harry, third in line for the throne, behind his father, Prince Charles, and brother, Prince William, has been fighting on the front lines in Afghanistan.
Harry had been scheduled last year to head to Iraq, but high publicity surrounding the event cancelled the tour.
I’m very pleased that the royals aren’t afraid to fight a battle. No doubt he learned many of his convictions from his mother, the late Princess Diana.
Do you think President Bush would allow his two daughters to fight? I won’t answer that one.
UPDATE — Representatives of the Royal family are now confirming that Prince Harry will be sent home after media leaked his presence in Afghanistan.
