It was announced today that Prince Harry has 
been one of the lads on the frontline in Afghanistan for 10 weeks working as a forward air controller calling in air support when needed. Given the nickname the bullet magnet, he is apparently fulfilling a long-held ambition to serve with the troops on the ground. "I finally get the chance to do the soldiering that I want to do. ........It's very nice to be sort of a normal person for once, I think it's about as normal as I'm going to get". His presence in Afghanistan not only provides a good morale boost for the other guys fighting on the frontline, it also gives a boost to the credibility of the monarchy itself.
Good for you, Prince Hal!

[PS. Depicted in Shakespeare's Henry IV as a wild, undisciplined lad, Prince Hal grew into a mature man and, as Henry V, led English forces to a heroic victory at the Battle of Agincourt. So, lots of parallels here then]
