We hope you’ve had a good time on vacation, Harry, because it sounds like next summer might not be so relaxing.
According to British press reports, Prince Harry may be headed back to the front line in Afghanistan by next summer, or as early as April.
Here’s what a source at the Ministry of Defense had to say about it:
“We need all the Apache helicopter pilots we have, and with our ├é┬¡commitments in Libya as well as Afghanistan, none of their applications for leave are set in stone any more. The Queen’s celebrations and the Olympics are ├é┬¡obviously close to Prince Harry’s heart, but he knows this is something of an ├é┬¡occupational hazard.”
More from a source about Harry’s upcoming combat training in October:
“This is the final part of the course. Part of the training there makes him combat ready. Then he will have pretty much completed his Apache training.”
If he is deployed, we’ll absolutely be sending all of our best wishes and thoughts to Harry! He’s very brave, and we’re very impressed with how proudly he’s serving his country!
