Prince Harry has just returned from 10 weeks at the front line in Afghanistan, something he had expressed a personal wish to do. He served with his regiment the Blue’s and Royals, part of the Household Cavalry, more normally associated with ceremonial duties in London.

Following much debate as to whether he would be able to serve in Helmand Province common sense prevailed and he carried out his duties, along with the other members of his regiment in a way that would be expected of any serving officer. It’s sad that a leak by an American web site has broken the media blackout, forcing a premature end to his tour of duty. 

Flying home to RAF Brize Norton along with two soldiers injured by an exploding mine. Prince Harry humbly belittled his own experiences having returned with no scars and referred to his two travelling companions as the real heroes. Although now separated from the troops he commands, I am sure that the experiences of combat that they have shared over the last 10 weeks will only strengthen the bond between them.
