Prince Harry will be serving as a soldier in Iraq by the end of the month, a British newspaper reported Saturday, Feb. 17, 2007,though government officials called the story speculative.

Good luck and Godspeed, Harry.
If it's the kid's idea as the story says I'm very impressed. For the record, it probably is his idea.
Godspeed Harry......
Doesn't look like a Windsor.
Not so sure that having a royal on the lines is a good idea. Could you imagine the shock wave it would send through the nation if he was killed? Or worse, snatched then put on display for a beheading?
Go Harry, good for you kiddo! A fine example to the pampered politicians' kids here in the US. God Bless Harry and keep him safe from harm.
It's in the blood,, maybe one of the only reasons the Monarchy is still around, jmo,, when they go 'Jane Fonda', they're toast.. the people won't have that.. History is not forgotten that easily, is it? (I had to ask. ;-)
For England, Harry and Saint George!
And that's a good thing! LOL
These boys seem to have the right stuff. God be with them both.
I'm impressed with the young man. He could have easily proclaimed opposition to the war and won all manner of accolades.
How about he kick Sean Penn's arse! That would cover his tour of duty for me!
Not that I wish that to happen, but imagine that shockwave indeed. Maybe then folks, who are sleeping today, might just wake up to the reality of this conflict.
This kid has guts. Going against the liberal establishment, going against those in his own family and his own handlers. All to show that he feels he is regular Briton just like the rest. Even if the paper tries to seperate him out as not one of them.
Way to go young man, hopefully more Britons and even Americans will follow your shining example.
The British Monarchy stands a chance if a way can be found to bypass Charles the Dolt.
I like how you think.
LOL!
He can get into all those fancy London clubs that the Hollywood sissy boys (Penn, Clooney, Pitt, Afleck) go to and just kick each of their arses when they show up. I would love to read the headlines: "Prince Harry Kicks the Crap Out of George Clooney at Fancy London Night Club!"
"Not so sure that having a royal on the lines is a good idea. Could you imagine the shock wave it would send through the nation if he was killed?"
If you have a hereditary monarchy, then one of the roles they have to play is to risk getting killed alongside the commoners. If you wrap them in cotton wool, and let them start believing that they really *are* superior to mortals by dint of their birth, then you start having a real problem. They start saying things like "L'etat? C'moi!"
Once that happens you have to take my Freepname seriously.
Or to paraphrase Monty Python: "Ya don't just become King"
Good for Harry. While I understand the Royals bit, not going would be immensly castrating personally for him.
