Default MoD's latest propaganda weapon ... Harry, the war movie

MoD's latest propaganda weapon ... Harry, the war movie

Defence chiefs are planning to let a camera crew follow Prince Harry during his tour of duty in Iraq.

The Ministry of Defence crew will film him while on operations, with footage being released to television channels and on the internet.

I must say that looking at photo that accompanies the article (from his Cyprus training photo release), Harry definately has gorgeous blue eyes. No wonder CD is in love with him. One could just fall in love with his eyes.

Anyway, it appears, if the story is valid, that Harry will not be fulfilling his dream of recon commander.

Can't disagree with you there. It's one of the qualities about him I find most attractive. That said, I absolutely do not agree with a camera crew following Harry around Iraq. I think that is setting a dangerous situation in order and the less the general public know about where he is and what he's doing, the better. I think the very idea is ridiculous.

Why? So those hell-bent on doing him and his unit harm know where he is and what he's doing? We don't need to know the daily activities of Harry and his men. He's safer off with only the most pertinent people knowing his intinerary.

Before we get too wound up, this is an unsourced Daily Mail story.
I doubt that we will be getting daily Harry updates on the evening news.

Bishop: Harry is political pawn

A SENIOR Church of England bishop has called for Prince Harry to be held back from fighting in Iraq to keep the royal family out of the political row over the war.

Many units have a army or RAF photographer with them, that is one of the trades within the two arms.
It probably has not been decided yet, whether to send anyone along and even if they do take that decision, it will be a case of releasing heavily censored material, probably 2 hours worth taken on one day released over a 2 week period.

I know the MOD are not the brightest sparks, but even they would be unlikely to release daily footage, so that anyone can work out from the topography, where he is.

Default William and Harry don bowlers for Hyde Park parade

William and Harry don bowlers for Hyde Park parade

Princes William and Harry swapped their military uniforms for bowler hats and smart City suits today as they marched together in an Army parade.

They joined hundreds of former and serving soldiers in London's Hyde Park for the annual Combined Cavalry Old Comrades Association Parade.

Looking over those photos of the princes, those bowler hats can be so tight and uncomfortable on their head to leave a mark as in the case of Prince Williams.

It's good to see the boys together like this, especially before Harry leaves for Iraq. I wonder what, if anything, William has said to him about it.
