Late last week it was revealed that Prince Harry (second heir to the throne) had been on active service on the frontline in Afghanistan. While the media in the UK agreed to a ‘blackout’ on the issue (agreed not to report it), an American website leaked the information online leading to the Prince’s withdrawal and hasty return back to the UK. He had been serving since December 2007.
Was it right for the website to break the news? Should Prince Harry have been allowed to serve in Afghanistan, or did it create an unsafe environment for the troops he was fighting beside? Post a reply with your thoughts!
Here’s a link to the BBC website if you’d like to find out more about this story (check out the links on the page as well):

GOOD lad! Just what the boys need, a royal on the front. Shame about the withdrawl. Hope he will be fighting the enemies of Britian again.
