Prince Harry Homecoming

March 1, 2008

Prince Harry returned home from Afghanistan on Saturday after a top secret layover in the desert and a debriefing at a Nato base. He arrived at RAF Brize Norton welcomed back by his brother Prince William and his father Prince Charles.

“It’s a great relief to see him home in one piece,” Prince Charles told reporters. “It’s been quite difficult also having to keep quiet about the fact he was serving in that part of the world. People kept saying to me, ‘You must be so frustrated about Harry not being able to serve abroad.’ I would say he’s on exercise somewhere.”

Prince Charles added, “I’ve been incredibly proud of Harry and I promise you… equally proud of all the dedicated service given by all our armed forces.”

The 23-year-old royal had been serving in Afghanistan since December. His tour of duty was cut short due to the news of him being out there leaking in the press which put him and his unit in danger, and by unit we aren’t talking about THIS unit
