He's in the forces to justify wearing medals on special occasions, just like daddy, not to persue a career despite his best intentions.

To be fair to Prince harry he has made no secret of his desire to go to Iraq.

I would rather our troops were not there at all but this decision was not taken by him.

Cynical. And wrong. Nobody joins the forces to win medals. That's the same as claiming that everyone who buys guns wants to play Russian Roulette!

I was being Cynical but not incorrect since expressing an opinion.
What Harry wants and what Harry wants as a royal are in conflict.
Just remember most of us are commoners and don't forget it.

Bang goes the theory that Harry was being pushed in the way of danger, because he looks a bit too much like his real Daddy.

Just saying what others have said.

He does look like Hewitt though, you have to admit.

No - it's just coincidence
