Britain’s Prince Harry will likely not get a second chance to serve his country in Afghanistan. 
Anonymous sources say top British officials believe it is too risky to allow the prince, who is third in line to the throne, back to the frontline.
“He is being let down gently because the risks would be even greater this time,” the source told The People.
“Everybody in his family and regiment believe he has thoroughly proved himself in every conceivable way as a soldier and he has every reason to be proud.
“Harry does not see things that way and thinks if he misses out on the most dangerous missions he will be seen as a lightweight soldier.”
Last December and into early this year, Harry spent 10 weeks fighting Taliban insurgents in the Helmand province of Afghanistan.
There was an agreement among the media not to reveal Harry’s deployment. But American and Australian media outlets broke that agreement, and Harry had to pull out immediately.
The prince is a lieutenant with the British Blues and Royal regiment. He has made it quite clear that he wants to return to Afghanistan, because he still believes there is work to be done there.
