Prince Harry Will Soldier On But Princess Diana Says No Go

WILL Prince Harry do his duty for God and granny? Will he fight in Iraq?

The Observer hears Harry’s orders and role clarified by his boss:

“According to informed sources, the view of the Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Richard Dannatt, is clear: Cornet Windsor is in the army, in a combat unit, and that’s what people in the army do. Any plans to rescind his six-month tour will undermine both Harry’s own sense of self-worth and the vital connection - of loyalty, service and sense of nationhood - which still exists between royalty and the army.”

Tally-ban!

But then this is the same paper:

“Lord St John of Fawsley, the constitutional expert and friend of the Queen, added: ‘The thought of him being captured is horrific, a much bigger disaster than him being killed. Despite Harry’s understandable desire to go with his men, it’s in the higher interest of state security that he doesn’t go. I think Princess Diana would be thinking along the lines I describe.’”

Perhaps if he promises to wear his seatbelt…
