Prince Harry is serving in Afghanistan

Good news was leaked irresponsibly by foreign media that Prince Harry has been fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan since arriving on Christmas Eve.

The British media were given unprecedented access to Harry during his time in Afghanistan, under the understanding that they would report nothing until his return to Britain.

However, it seems foreign media websites were more interested in the story than the safety of the third in line to the throne and broke the news, harking back to the events leading up to the death of Princess Diana in 1997.

David Cameron said “Like all the troops currently fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan Harry has been incredibly brave. He has pursued his desire to get on the front line and serve his country with huge determination and courage. I applaud the British press for not breaking the story and risking his life and others around him.”

Dr Liam Fox, the Conservative Defence Spokesman, added “It’s clear he wanted to do his duty and to carry out the work he was trained for. He is a brave young man amongst many brave men and women who are putting life and limb on the line for the security of our country. We are proud of them all.”
