The Royal Family is denying it, but the Daily Mirror seems sure: Prince Harry and his regiment will be sent to Iraq within days. The newspaper quotes a "senior military source" as saying that the details are still in the air, but that "he is definitely going." Harry recently graduated from Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and according to the AP, he has been trained to command 11 soldiers and four tanks (!). While his brother William, who is second in line to the crown, will stay home in case something bad happens (how could it?), Harry's off to Basra for briefing and then to the front lines. The Mirror's source says: "He has insisted on being able to perform his duties as any other officer would. He won't be just flying a desk." Flying a desk! How they speak.
