Prince Harry Outted

Hrmm, I thought I'd heard on the news that he was outted in Britain, and that the story got carried over here. Regardless of whether you look at it as he had limited opportunities or not, he really wanted to go, whether to prove himself or to just live like others for a while - to have to pull him out now just sucks and blows.

The business of actively serving in fire zones whilst Royal has always been a sticky one- Harry's great Grandfather George VI fought a similar battle to serve in active duty during WWI, and was frustrated by attempts to keep him out of the line of fire. They worry about the 'spare', and in his case they were right, as his brother later abdicated and he became a reluctant ruler. It's got to be tough to be in Harry's position in the Windsor household; I think SL was right with his Diana observation.
