Prince Harry
« Iran | Back to most recent briefing | World Bank »
Asked if the Prime Minister had anything, to do with the decision not to send Prince Harry to Iraq, the PMOS said General Sir Richard Dannatt had made clear that it had been a decision taken for military reasons. The PMOS added that No.10 fully supported the reasons. It had been a difficult decision but the right decision. Asked if the decision had already been made by the armed forces and then signalled to the Prime Minister or had the Prime Minister been asked his view before the decision was made, the PMOS said he would not get into the processology other than it was a military decision, taken for military reasons and the Prime Minister fully supported those who had taken that decision.

If Prince harry has to be protected, then fair enough, but if he is unable to fulfil the military duty that a normal person would have to fulfil in his position, then he should leave the military and stop being a toy soldier.
