Total bollocks of course. He did 10 years in the Army
He served two tours in Afghanistan his second as an Apache attack helicopter pilot
But that wasn’t a real job was it?

He launched the Invictus Games a Paralympic-style sporting event for injured servicemen and women

If you are going to post bollocks the very least you can do is research your subject..if it looks like bollocks, sounds like bollocks and reads like bollocks then almost certainly it’s a crock of pretentious shit.

Apart from that I am a Republican

But one supposes he had more bodyguards than Bin Laden?
Wasn't there a raid on the camp he was at once .. and as many ran to protect Harry as ran to repel the attackers.

Ignore me .. I just can't see any royal been totally in the firing line as any ordinary soldier would be.

Can't have it both ways Deylon .
Live a royal life and have your life scrutinised or live out of the limelight ( and no royal paypacket ) it's their choice they are very rich they don't need the money so they must like being royal.
They saw what happened to Great Uncle Edward when he abdicated -what a boring useless life he had after that .
I doubt if Harry was forced to give up the army although it does seem served only a short time and young men often have many girlfriends before they marry .
Perhaps he will be a force for the good with his young women.
I doubt if they will worry if the plebs like them or not !

Re: Prince Harry

To be fair let's remember that Harry didn't choose who to be born in such privilidge, and although I haven't always agreed with his choices (particularly his choice of bride ) I do think he's tried to make the best of the choices available to him to live some sort of worthwhile life.

Regarding the O.P., anyone can write a biography about anyone just to make a quick buck out of celebrity, but I can't imagine that I'll be adding much to their coffers....

Re: Prince Harry

I bet all those who appear to be jealous of the Royals would think very differently if they were actually in their shoes. The media watches their every move, they have very little privacy, if any.

Jealous of the royals? omg. I'm not keen on the royal family except I like the queen but I'm certainly not jealous. I wouldn't want to be in the royal family is you paid me millions, no way jose, saying that, I wouldn't want to be any famous person or have a famous person, like you say, no privacy and I hate my privacy being invaded. Obviously the money would be nice, but I'll take my life thanks.

it does say it all doesn’t it? Short, sharp, concise and descriptive.
I am not a great fan of Royalty, I have met most of them the only difference between them and those of ‘low birth’ is the smell.
I responded to the attack on Harry because he is ex military, and he did his bit.
I am still a Republican

Re: Prince Harry

Would you rather have a Donald Trump or a Vladimir Putin as head of the country than the royal family ?.A few rotten eggs there ,protected by Mama,but most carry out their duties and dont flaunt their wealth /priveleges.It is well known that the young royalshave no wish to rule the country,yes they could walk away and still live a priveleged life but they follow the Queens example of duty to her country & citizens,she is gradually easing them into public life,taking over from her
