Prince Harry has been deployed to Afghanistan for four months, the Ministry of Defence says.
The prince, an Apache helicopter pilot, arrived on Thursday night at the main British base, Camp Bastion in Helmand.
The 27-year-old, who is third in line to the throne, will take part in combat missions against the Taliban.
It is his second Afghanistan deployment - he spent 10 weeks in Helmand province in 2007-08 but was pulled out after media reported his secret deployment.
Captain Wales, as he is known in the military, arrived as part of the 100-strong 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment, Army Air Corps.
Royal Navy Captain Jock Gordon, Commander of the Joint Aviation Group, said: "Captain Wales, with his previous experience as a Forward Air Controller on operations, will be a useful asset.
"He will be in a difficult and demanding job. And I ask that he be left to get on with his duties and allowed to focus on delivering support to the coalition troops on the ground."

Wonder if they are hoping he dies a hero, since he is both uncontrollable and probably not Charles’ son. Pass me my tin foil hat, please. ;-)

The BBC just painted a target on his back and told the enemy where to look.

If they advertise his whereabouts accurately enough he will get killed, allowing the Royal Family to save face. Harry will die a hero instead of living long enough to become the villain.
My bet is that's the plan.

No kidding - they left out the GPS coordinates for his bunk, though.

And the Royals don’t seem to be worried about collateral damage, either.

Godspeed, Harry. Be safe and carry on. Great Britian is a good ally.

In April, the prince suggested it would be pointless to train as a helicopter pilot if he never served. "I'd just be taking up a spare place for somebody else if they didn't have me going out on the job, " he said at the time. Seems like he has things in perspective. He is going to serve, not as some PR opportunity. Good for him. The only people who care about his naked pictures are the press looking to gin up some sales.

Harry is a REAL person ..... doing real things ... prayers up that he returns safely home, along with the rest of the guys in his unit.
