In Which He Serves

Britain's Prince Harry, having fought with the British army in Afghanistan for ten weeks, is going home after his secret tour of duty - secret because he's third in line to the British throne, and therefore has to be careful of avoiding danger - was revealed by American muckraker Matt Drudge. Harry hopes to return to Afghanistan sometime, having appreciated the experience of just being one of the blokes in his unit and interacting with the locals.

Buckingham Palace recalled Harry once Drudge released his report - you can't count on an American to keep a secret for the British royal family - to keep him from being kidnapped or something like that, as he is third in line to the throne. As scary as that may seem, some Brits may find it just as scary if he becomes King Henry IX in the event of something happening to the princes Charles and William.

Then again, maybe not. The once-reckless Harry got acclaim for serving his mission distinctively and with valor and honor - or valour and honour, as his people put it.
