He may well have passed out of Sandhurst as a 2nd.Lt. But,and its a big one,he is still wet behind the ears,and has a lot to learn about Commanding Soldiers,especially as most of them will have more experience than him.Also, on Active Service,there are more important things to do than wet-nursing some-one like him.Its commendable of him to want to go out there,but other peoples lives would be at risk if he did.Apart from that,Prince or no Prince,He,s in the Army and should do what he is ordered to do,not try and pick and choose.Perhaps his 'Grandfather'should have a word with him and put him right on a few things. Hal.

David - ROTFLMAO! You're too good for me! xx

I completely agree that he should be allowed to fight and I completely agree that if the press didn't report on his every move then he wouldn't be so accessible!! MADNESS!! xx

Emphasis, Bec - as opposed to using capitals:) While we're on the subject, what *is* the point of having an apostrophe after your *?:))) Hi Meercat I didn't read about that so I don't know but I thought the army were a bit tougher than to let people off sick without good reason lol. If it's true, I respect him for wanting to see active service when he could easily get out of it.

What *is* the point of having *'s around your is? pmsl xx

lol Julia - don't remember that but I can imagine the hooha :))

my old boss was in the Falklands alongside Prince andrew - does anyone remember the panic when Andrew was lost in his helicopter? yep, my boss was responsible for sending him the wrong way :-))

Meercat Is there any reason to think he isn't good enough then? I wouldn't have thought he'd have been appointed if he wasn't.

I think he's doing the right thing if he he really is threatening to quit if it's true - he should have been told before he began training. It might help if the press stopped reporting every movement of his. Members of the royal family have always fought in battles and wars and if he isn't going to be allowed it all seems a bit pointless.

I have always wonderd that about all the royals joining the forces. I know Andrew flew helicoptors during Falklands but how close to danger he was is debateable probably.

David I think that they are frightened that he will be made a high profile target from any kidnappers etc. I think he should be allowed to fight otherwise, I agree there's no point being in the army in the first place.

of Prince Harry being in the army if he isn't going to be allowed to actively serve? Am I missing something?
