I wish he wouldn't - as a mother I wish none of them would. Perhaps the press will let him be now.

Hi everyone - thanks for your comments!
Bhaskar's got me in the mood to do another one about Satan - maybe in the supermarket next time? No Cockney accents though, I promise! Anyway, most people are just making the point about this Harry business that sending him there could put his fellow soldiers at greater risk, but that aside, it presents a good image of the royals that he is willing to go.

Though hardly lacking in career choice, It is good of him to get drafted as a soldier, and as Deepanabda says, "Well-written."

Very good Tonyzonit! OK, here's a bet! I'll bet I'm one of the very few here who is old enough to remember when Elvis (who?) got drafted! LOL

I would hope he gets treated like any other solider, But I'm sure he will be very guarded

Just heard about this this morning
I wonder..... will he be a target? Or will he be so well covered that he won't really be in harms way?
Seperate from all that, you've yet again taken a "current event" and crafted one of your famous sonnets. Well done.

Tonyz, I'm sure they'll have Harry "well covered", just in case..

Chris - it's a big risk. But this kind of thing keeps the royals popular.

Nice writing Tony--Personally I don't think he should go.
Also-what prats we seem to be-telling the world he's coming! You'ld have thought they would have kept quiet.Like offering him up on a plate! I know it's diabolical for all our other boys too-but-the Heir to the throne? Chris.
