Prince Harry will not be going to Iraq.
Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Richard Dannatt, said in a statement: “There have been a number of specific threats, some reported, and some not reported, which relate directly to Prince Harry as an individual. These threats place not only him but also those around him a degree of risk that I now deem unacceptable.”
Wowsers, so crazy dudes over there were going to target Prince Harry? It’s almost like they don’t have any appreciation at all for the monarchy. Hey, crazy guys, didn’t you see The Queen?
However, his military career can still go forward, according to Sir Richard. “I’ve asked his commanding officer to develop his future career but I won’t speculate on that,” he said.
Translation:
Dear Prince Harry,
You may ride a desk for as long as you like, but there is no way we’re going to face the furor from having you hurt on our watch. Sorry bud.
Yours,
The Army
