PHOTO - Prince Harry on patrol in AfghanistanSix elite SAS troopers acted as guardian angels to Prince Harry during his tour of duty. They flew Harry to Afghanistan in secret to help prevent news of his deployment getting out.

And a senior army source confirmed that although Harry did not have an armed guard and performed his duties like any normal officer, the SAS was on standby in case the third in line to the throne needed to be extracted from trouble.

The Ministry of Defence insisted that Harry would not be treated differently from other soldiers.

But the disclosure that the SAS was close by underlines the fears of both the ministry and Clarence House that Harry was a trophy target for the Taliban, and might have been killed or kidnapped.

Sources indicated that Harry would have been told privately the SAS was on hand, but that he should get on with his job.

    Common!!Let’s be objective. Prince Harry is not a hero, he’s just a soldier who did what a soldier is supposed to do.

    Poor Harry he is not an ordinary man he is royal and royals sometimes can’t fight in the warzone.
    I wish Harry can fight with other solidiers like any other ordinary man should.

    I think it is wonderful he got to prove himself to his people.

    YES ! or as the harry bashers say in the hate forums it was just a pr stunt, posing, smiling, figure it out.

    If it was a pr stunt he would’nt threaten to quit unless he was redeployed.

    Prince Andrew is in my country! It’s really surprising, there’s no news that he’s going to visit my country. We had a visit from Japanese royals in January, but the information announced to the public since a month before.

    One of the places he visited is British Council/British Chamber of Commerce, which located in the same building with my office. Some of my colleagues bumped into him at the building lobby at lunch time. Unlucky me, I had to eat lunch at my workstation instead of going out to lunch with them :( After lunch time, suddenly the whole office is talking about the British RF *lol*

    The media in my country seemed also not aware. Not much coverage on him. I wish P. Andrew did a light interview and say something about P. Harry’s recent mission.
