Prince Harry

Britain's Prince Harry is now a stranger to normality.

The 28-year-old royal has just returned to the UK after serving on the frontline in Afghanistan for 20 weeks and he admits he no longer knows what normal life is.

He told reporters: 'I don't know what normal is anymore. There is nothing normal about what we have been doing for the past four-and-a-half months. There is nothing normal about what is going on out there. In the last day I was there, a seven-and-a-half-year-old girl got shot down by the insurgents. So normality is [a] very, very ambiguous thing, if you know what I mean.

'You get asked to do things. You get asked to do things you would expect to do wearing this uniform and that is as simple as that really.'

Harry has faced criticism after he admitted to killing out in Afghanistan but he has found a supporter in Jack Osbourne, who praised him for his bravery.

The reality TV star wrote on his Twitter page: 'i have so much admiration and respect for Prince Harry and his commitment to service. glad he made it home safe.

'i have the same feelings to all the men and women who have/continue to serve. Thank you and get home safe. (sic)'
