**World Exclusive**

They're calling him "Harry the Hero!"

British Royal Prince Harry has been fighting in Afghanistan since late December -- and has been directly involved in gun battle, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The prince, a junior officer in the Blues and Royals, and third in line to the throne, has been a "magnificent soldier" and an "inspiration to all of Briton."

Prince Harry is talking part in a new offensive against the Taliban.

Ministry of Defense and Clarence House refuse all comment. Army chiefs have managed to keep the prince away from media and have encourage fellow soldiers in his squadron to stay quiet.

So dumb to publish this. If I were with the Taliban, I'd be all about capturing Harry.

The British media agreed to a news blackout on it. Shame that someone felt the need to break it.

I rarely support news blackouts, but this one is a no-brainer. I hope they get him out of there safely, but he seems to be a very courageous kid and will probably want to stay.

I doubt he'll be doing much fighting though....
Take a look at his ultra clean uniform -

He probably does get himself all dirty, but then some boot PVT is made to clean him all up...

Just heard on Tube that the Prince has been pulled.
Now let the historical record show, that the Prince fought valiantly on the front lines against the enemy.

Over the months I've heard he wants to fight, but for obvious reasons the higher ups in the government want to keep him out of harm's way. I kind of feel sorry for him - he wants to fight with his squad and he signed up for it - they should let him do his job. It's good to see a leader ask to go into harm's way with his men. We should encourage this mentality, if for nothing else to have our own leaders think twice before declaring war.
