Prince Harry: I belong on the front line
EAGER Prince Harry has urged Army bosses to return him to the front line in Afghanistan. The soldier royal, third in line to the throne, had a successful first tour of duty in the war zone earlier this year. Now he is desperate to go back for another encounter with hostile Taliban forces.
Harry, 23, and members of his Blues and Royals regiment will resume training at Windsor's Combermere Barracks next week. The Prince will not immediately prepare for war but concentrate on normal regimental duties.
A Blues and Royals source said last night: "Harry has made no secret of the fact he wants to be there when the regiment returns to the front line next year. He said the experience of leading his men into battle is one he hopes he can repeat.
