As I was telling you last week, Diana's youngest son and royal British troublemaker in chief prince Harry is not a very happy camper at the moment, having been forced to cut his ultra-secret mission in Afghanistan short and return home after ten weeks spent fighting the Taliban on the front line. In fact, the prince made it quite clear and in not-so-very-formal terms that he is very angry at his early return, telling a fellow passenger on the flight back home "I'm ****ing pissed off". And while that's probably not the best way to phrase his frustration, the message certainly comes across.

Harry, who is a second lieutenant - known as a cornet - in the Household Cavalry, was forced to return home and abandon his very dangerous tour of duty because his secret deployment became not-so-very-secret when the international media leaked details of his presence and whereabouts. In a surprising move, the notoriously outspoken British media had agreed on keeping quiet on Harry's mission in an attempt to protect him. In an interview given moments after he returned home, Harry refused to be called a hero and argued that he would not be scared to return to Afghanistan once again.

"Don't call me a hero - those are the heroes", he said, referring to some of the men who were flown back to the U.K. with him, horribly injured. "One had lost two limbs - a left arm and a right leg - and another guy who was saved by his mate's body being in the way but took shrapnel to the neck. [...] Those are the heroes. Those were guys who had been blown up by a mine that they had no idea about, serving their country, doing a normal patrol. The bravery of the guys out there was humbling. I wouldn't say I'm a hero. I'm no more a hero than anyone else. If you think about it there are thousands and thousands of troops out there", he added. No word yet on whether the prince is set to use his military skills in order to track down the source who first leaked the news of his front line mission.
