Prince Harry Serving in Afghanistan

Prince Harry has been serving with British troops in Afghanistan since December, it was reported today. The 23-year-old royal — who is living and working in an army base in the Helmand province — is engaged in a four-month tour of duty. "I finally get the chance to do the soldiering that I want to do," the prince said ahead of his deployment, the BBC reports. The prince, who has received training from the Blues and Royals, was set to serve in Iraq last year, but his trip was canceled after it was deemed a security risk. Reporting on Harry's deployment was embargoed but the news was widely posted after an item on the Drudge Report . (link)
