Surely Queen Beatrix could step in and have a word?

Well, how many times has he got to learn it? What about punishing some real neo-nazis instead of persisting on this old yarn?

Still no news on if he'll be going to Irag or not? I was watching FOX news yesterday and they were discussing it and a (former?) military officer was saying how he thinks it would be a terrible idea if William or Harry went to war because the opposition would target them and put others in danger, and I agree.

Harry to start Iraq training


Britain's Prince Harry, who is serving in the army, will this week start a course of training for the war in Iraq, the News of the World reported on Sunday

http://www.news24.com/News24/World/N...054752,00.html

Report: Prince Harry to prepare for Iraq

LONDON - A British newspaper reported Sunday that Prince Harry was scheduled to begin final training for deployment to Iraq with his army regiment, but the Defense Ministry said no decision had been made on whether he would be deployed

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070114/...prince_harry_2

"the spokesman said, speaking on customary condition of anonymity in line with policy"

I don't believe there is any such policy within the armed forces.

But I bet both papers paid a "small" renumeration to get this latest "Hot Gossip".

AFAIK, Prince Harry can go to Iraq but any deployment wouldn't be able to as publicised as Prince Andrew's service in the Falklands was because it's simply a different enemy who will treat the deployment in a very different way.

A case of champagne, a meal or three in a top London club, of course they would never accept money, would they!

Here's a more complete article about Harry's going to Iraq from CNN.

Prince Harry trains for possible Iraq duty

Quote:
A British newspaper reported Sunday that Prince Harry was scheduled to begin final training for deployment to Iraq with his Army regiment -- but the defense ministry said no decision had been made on whether his regiment would be deployed.
The News of The World said the prince, who is third in line to the throne, would take part in a two-day pre-deployment course which includes instruction in basic Arabic phrases.
It is quoting a News of the World article but I don't know how reliable News of the World is.

News of the World is a red-top-type tabloid, so... you know.

News of the World makes good compost, it really is the bottom of the heap.

When Prince Andrew was deployed was Prince William already born I can't remember? Perhaps that is why he could go there was already someone in line to the throne before him.

I think Andrew came back a couple of weeks before William was born. It used to be on his Wiki profile but it has been edited. Either way the Falklands War started in April 82.

Andrew was on the Invincible during the war as a Sea King pilot. He was still in the Falklands arena when the war finished on 14th June 1982.
William was born 21st June 1982, therefore when he was in the Falklands, Andrew was still 2nd in line.
