Prince Harry off to war

February 23, 2007

Prince Harry looks set to see action in Iraq, making him the first British royal to see combat in 25 years. Britain's defence ministry has confirmed Prince Harry will carry out a "normal troop commander's role" when he deploys to Iraq later this year. He'll be first British royal to see active duty since his uncle, the Duke of York, flew helicopters in the Falklands War. When the 22-year-old prince will go isn't being revealed for obvious security reasons. The decision was said to have been made with the knowledge of his family.
