I have to wonder if it wasn’t the MoD that leaked the info to Drudge in the first place.....
Actually, you are exactly right. Drudge only made his statements after the MoD released said information.
Likely they wanted to draw positive attention to their hero while at the same time pulling him back to safety after a short tour.
Drudge simply nibbled and they make a pre-made statement about “leaks” to hide their motives. And it also allows them to pull him back publicly. For them win-win, for us... well, casualties of war I guess.
A member of the British Royal family that has some Noughas.
Unfortunately this is part the nature of the institution of the British Monarchy which prevents him from leading a normal life publically.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some troublemaker in the British Defense Ministry leaked the story to Drudge, because it was extra trouble to keep Prince Harry’s doings a secret. Too bad.
Even though he was only there a short time, we thank Harry for his service.
Im glad Harry will get a better homecoming than these wankers. The 3 on the right are the exception. They show the Brit "stiff upper lip" quite well.
The MoD told British and international news agencies when the Prince went down there, but asked them to keep it confidential. All complied until an Australian magazine broke the news. That's where Drudge apparently picked it up from.
