Prince Harry fighting in Afghanistan
Prince Harry has been secretly serving in Afghanistan with British troops since December, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) said overnight.
Harry, 23, was deployed to Helmand, a dangerous region of southern Afghanistan, in December, seven months after plans to send him to Iraq were scrapped following threats from Iraqi militants to kidnap or kill him.
The army posted him to Afghanistan only after the British and selected members of the international media agreed not to report his presence until he had returned from a scheduled four to six-month deployment.
