England's Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne behind his father, Prince Charles and brother, Prince William, is reported to have decided to join the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry after his officer training at Britain's elite Sandhurst military college ends in April.
The unit has a variety of duties including reconnaissance support to airborne forces as well as various ceremonial duties including personal body guard to the queen.
The regiment could very well be posted to Iraq sometime in the future. If that happens, Harry is more than willing to go.
He was quoted in September as saying, "There's no way I'm going to put myself through Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country."
Too bad he is third in line. Sounds like he would make a good king.
You go, your Royal Highness!! Never mind the Windsor, I think there's a bit of Plantagenet coming out as well! All those "insurgents" (yeah, right!) had better watch out: Harry's on the way, and he's gonna kick some major butt! Good to see the British Lion still has teeth. Rule, Britannia!!!
