What's Next For The Soldier Prince???

Filed under: Royals Royce

wenn5046282.jpg

Yup, Prince Harry is fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan. And the ginger royal is is receiving praise for his exemplary work.

General Sir Richard Dannatt, the chief of general staff, said in a statement that Prince Harry "has been fully involved in operations and has run the same risks as everyone else in his Battlegroup. In common with all of his generation in the Army today, he is a credit to the nation."

Stroke it!

"In deciding to deploy him to Afghanistan, it was my judgment that with an understanding with the media not to broadcast his whereabouts, the risk in doing was manageable," continued General Dannatt.

Now that Prince Harry's whereabouts have been made public, army bosses are considering sending him back to the U.K.

General Dannatt continues, "Now that the story is in the public domain, the Chief of Defense Staff and I will take advice from the operational commanders about whether his deployment can continue. I now appeal to the media to restrain from attempting to report Prince Harry's every move and return to our understanding."

"I am very disappointed that foreign Web sites have decided to run this story without consulting us. This is in stark contrast to the highly responsible attitude that the whole of the U.K. print and broadcast media, along with a small number of overseas, who have entered into an understanding with us over the coverage of Prince Harry on operations."

Honestly, people, why would you have made public where Prince Harry was fighting? That's just making our favorite royal an easy target!

There are just some things better left undisclosed, especially when it puts someone's life in danger.

Update: It is being reported that Prince Harry is already on a plane heading back home!

      this is where the media needs to draw the line
      this type of situation should not be made public, as it endangers the life of the prince as well as other troops in his batallion. this is an act of bravery for the prince, and it really BLOWS BALLS that the media caused him to return to the UK

      this is all the pot calling the kettle black.

      it isn't exactly the first time this blog has posted something and said "i can't believe the media would write about this!", even though they are doing the same thing here.

      case and point? the plea from perez for michelle williams and their family to have privacy while they came to new york while in mourning after heath ledgers death. this blog wrote that only AFTER other media outlets avoided posting and publicizing her while in mourning. in actuality…right when she came to new york, this site had a pic of her in the car arriving at his apt. we saw it within a few moments of it being posted and then it was taken down and never mentioned as the blogger sounted saintlike in his plea for their privacy.

      props for realizing the michelle williams pic was a bad idea…maybe you should get there quicker about not being part of the circus that just gave away a very much sought after young guys location in afghanistan.

Not only did printing the item put Prince Harry at risk, but think of the other people that were put at risk by the disclosure. All in the name of scooping everyone else…gives you blogger a nice name, hey Perez?

The terrorists would kill us again here, instead of bombing them over there. Do you wonder why we have hardly any attacks here? Think, everyone, its b/c our troops are busting their butts for our saftey-the war on terror. I already said on the drudge report that they should have kept their mouthes shut…….

      WHAT REALLY PISSES ME OFF IS THE FACT THAT THE PRINCES WENT INTO A MILITARY CARREAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEY KNEW AND THEIR CRONIES AROUND THEM KNEW THEY WOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO BE PUT IN ABSOLUTE DANGER. THEY WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO BE FULLY REAL SOILDERS IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO WHY THE HELL GO INTO THE MILITARY. IT MAKES A FARCE OF THE WHOLE SYSTEM, WHILE WE HAVE 'NORMAL' EVERYDAY JOES PUTTING THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE WITH NO PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.

      THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE INTO DIFFERENT CARREARS INSTEAD OF BEING PART TIME SOILDERS. I HATE THE ROYAL FAMILY FOR ALL IT STANDS FOR AND THIS JUST MAGNIFIES IT EVEN MORE.

All he wanted to do was fight for his country and thats alot more than can be said for other people OR COUNTRIES. Make us do their dirty work! matt drudge is gonna get his sorry arse fired fo' sho'!

      as soon as the story was first leaked by a US website!!!!! the royal family/goverment/ministry of defence all decided to lift off the blackout of news.

      everyones printing this shit so give the guy a break and stop trying to find stupid reasons to attck him for when your not even gunna comment about the content of the actual fucking article.

      People, before you start ragging on Perez, the story was first published on an Australian magazine's website in January. Then the story was picked up by a German new group. Can't blame the American press for this one!

      As for Harry being po'd, well he got 10 weeks longer than he could have expected and I'm sure he knows it.

      These people control all Banking, Politics, Media, Intelligence & Entertainment (Hollywood etc). The second most powerful Order the World has ever known. Second only to the SOCIETY OF JESUS who control the SMOM to this very day.

      do you honestly think this story isn't on every news show in every country in the world? perez is just letting us know where he stands on the issue - that America's dumbass news shows just don't get it, that it didn't have to be public knowledge, and it was much better secret! but then 'an understanding' works on the premise that Americans are capable of understanding ANYTHING other than profit. perez hasn't perpetuated anything in posting this, once it was out of the bag, that was always going to be it.
      everyone in england thinks the same - ignorant americans fucked it up for harry, the british army, and the possibility of being able to reach a similar understanding with the media again. good one, dickheads

I don't think I can get over what he's done and now he's a crazy soldier probably killing people. I have zero respect for him

      149

      I don't see why (1) "royalty" gets special treatment compared to other soldiers, and (2) why the media should lie to protect "royalty." They're still lying - do you really think he killed a nice round number like "30 Taliban"? And how does the media - which admits it was lying to protect him - know that they were Taliban? The Taliban doesn't always wear uniforms. If he called in air strikes….those bombs could have hit others as well. But we'll never know who they hit, because the media lies to protect royalty. Or perhaps they do know, but it sounds a bit unpatriotic to say, "Harry, the brave boy prince, killed 11 possible Talib fighters and 6 others, wounding 14 (2 of whom may have died due to lack of infrastructure and medicine), and also destroyed a house, killing 7 civilians, including two children, and seriously burning a grandmother who died two days later, bringing the total to 8." No, the truth probably isn't nearly as inspiring as Prince Harry killing a nice, even 30 Taliban, no wounded screaming in pain, no bloodied babies, no innocents harmed at all.

      Okay, Prince Harry is getting special treatment because as English royalty he will be a prime target for the tailban AND in their attempts to kill him many other soldiers lives will be put at risk/taken. The govt were not just trying to protect him with the news blackout but all the men in the units he is fighting with, that is why the british media agreed to the blackout

      too bad the rest of the world couldnt follow their example

      YESTERDAY- Every news show was showing film footage of him in Afganistan. Harry said the decision to send him there was made by the Queen. I'm guessing that the same force was behind sending the media there. GREAT for Royal PR. A GREAT excuse to pull him out. Just becAuse so many of you are first finding this out here on this site just shows how few people pay any attention to real news shows/newspapers.

      Why did the stupid media have to publisice this? The stupid people who did should be ashamed of themselves, cause now his and the rest of the units life are in danger. Harry has wanted to be in the army all his life, and he now gets the chance but the stupid media ruin it on him. Harry, just like every other troop out there, is a hero. He now has to be brought home, which is a huge disappointment. He only had 2 weeks to go, so why couldnt the media keep quiet?? Good luck to the rest of the troops, do us all proud

      But I generally don't like England that much and, you know, it's nice to be away from all the press and the papers and all the general shite that they write."

      The comments, made available to the media under a pool arrangement, are unlikely to be welcomed by Harry's supporters in Britain or by the popular tabloid press.

      Prince Harry, 23, is no stranger to controversy.

      He sparked widespread public anger in 2005 when he was photographed at a fancy dress party dressed in a Nazi uniform.

I love your comment, honey. you're absolutely right, I am just as pissed off as you are about this shit. the morons who spread prince harry's whereabouts, should be banned to Afghanistan's Taliban, cause that's the only place those dumb fucks will figure out that they've been stupid. But then again… gossip-journalists only think of theirselves and their fucking paycheck.
      much love from Nadia
