Prince Harry, the son of the late Princess of Wales Diana is now "Harry the Hero!"
CNN is reporting that the British Royal Prince "has been fighting in Afghanistan since late December -- and has been directly involved in gun battle."
Harry is a junior officer in the Blues and Royals, and third in line to the throne, has been a "magnificent soldier" and an "inspiration to all of Briton" according to reports.
Allegedly the Prince "is talking part in a new offensive against the Taliban."
The government is reviewing Prince Harry's presence in Afghanistan following leaks in the international media that he was deployed there, the Defence Ministry said 28 February 2008.

Isn't it jolly good that the MSM has outed Harry and his compatriots? What a wonderful contribution to journalism from those who don't support our efforts in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Why aren't Harry's GPS coordinates included in the stories? Hope the POS 'journalists' who broke this 'story' drop dead real soon.
Well, this will give him something different to shoot at besides innocent foxes, quail and other animals these puking royals shoot at. The Royal Family is a waste of taxpayer dollars, and can't believe the Brits are still picking up the tab.
So you hate the Royals. Veddy good! Guess you're in favor of replacing the Magna Carta with sharia law, and the Royals with the mullahs. The UK has already been hollowed out quite enough, thank you. The book Londonistan provides context for the Archbishop of Canterbury's recent bizarre remarks on the subject.
And read Animal Farm for a realistic perspective on the fact that there is always a ruling class, whether in North Korea, or Afghanistan, or the UK, or the US. Here in the US, we have Bill Gates and his ilk serving as our pharaohs. Don't think so? Who has a larger house than Gates this side of King Tut?
So, I would sooner embrace the Western model, with its myriad of shortcomings, than return to 8th century justice, moslim style.
I salute the prince for his bravery and service. Those of you heaping scorn on him are cowards.
