Prince Harry: Back Because of Blabbers

Long live the Prince! Prince Harry arrived back in Britain today after a 10 week stint in Afghanistan -- withdrawn after the details of his secret deployment became public.

The Prince did not speak to reporters as he left the troop carrier. Surprise, surprise! According to the AP, Harry was greeted by his father and brother at the Brize Norton air base in Oxfordshire, southern England.

Prince Charles spoke about Harry and the media leak saying, "I feel particular frustration that he was removed unexpectedly early because, apart from anything else, he had been looking forward to coming back with the rest of his regiment."

Officials say the Prince could be deployed later this year, but won't pinpoint exactly where. Shocker!

76. " I would have admired Prince Harry more if he had stayed. "

He couldn't have stayed. Forget about himself being in danger. Anyone hunting him would have taken out anybody and everybody around him. He would have been a danger to his own men.

77. Like this was an ACCIDENT? Maybe the royals WANTED somebody to blab that way so he could get brought home and out of harm's way and make it look like they had to for his safety. If he would have left because he wanted to, that just wouldn't look good now would it???? It was planned that way.

79. A lot of people are acting like Harry was the first soldier to land on Omaha Beach. I don't buy it. He probably slept on silk sheets and had catered meals. Now he'll take a few million out of the family piggy bank and go on a worldwide PR tour.

80. I fully comprehend the necessity of the Prince's hasty departure but given his tenacity and talent as a soldier, I hoped he would have called granny and pulled rank!

81. 73. " I would have admired Prince Harry more if he had stayed. "

He couldn't have stayed. Forget about himself being in danger. Anyone hunting him would have taken out anybody and everybody around him. He would have been a danger to his own men.

The royals are a target wherever they go simply because of who they are whether in London or Afghanistan....Some of the new threats in the last few hours against Harry are particulary heinous. At least in Afghanistan he hidden (even though the red hair was a giveaway) had his own weapon and was surrounding by mates with theirs.

82. One more thing, it seems like after everytime Matt Drudge is mentioned n regards to this story they make sure to mention Monica Lewinsky...coincidental during this make or break pre- March 4 primary weekend for Hillary and Obama?

85. I feel awful that the media outted him. The pictures they showed of him..he looked the happiest he has looked since before his mother died. I can't get over his comment that he felt "normal" out there and was a soldier, not Prince Harry. I wish they would have let him be and waited until he got back to report it. Please just let him be as "normal" as possible.

87. Prince Harry, we admire your courageous service to your country. Your mother would be very proud of you. Prince William, please marry Kate MIddleton soon as she is attractive and fashionable and your mother would have loved her free spirit. Then we will have a new royal couple and we can stop seeing pictures of your father with Camilla Parker Bowles! I mean, who wants to look at Camilla? Good heavens.

88. It was "The Drudge Report" that broke the story. What a mean spirited outfit. Poor Harry. He could finally DO something and they took it away from him. No wonder he hates the press. After all, it was the papparazzi who killed his mother

89. How sad that the media only cares about getting their "scoop" and does not practice discretion

90. Get the facts straight. Review some of the UK media sites and you'll learn that Drudge got his information once it was outed by the Australian press. It wasn't the American Media that first posted this information. Place blame in the right place, not with Drudge. Congrats to Harry on an honorable job. Too bad he can't continue with this wish to service without being the "bullet magnet" as he was being called and concern of the "holy Muslim worriers" (NOT!) trying their hardest as they stated on their websites to capture and decapitate him in the name of their "Allah". Such as loving and peaceful religion.
