The secret is out. Prince Harry has been fighting in Afghanistan. Peter Rhodes condemns both the secrecy and the deployment.

    Young Harry should be Tarred with the same brush as his Comrades. Preferential treatment or otherwise is unethical.

    Just seen Harrys return to Brize Norton on the news where he was greeted by his Dad and Brother.
    Shame they never seem to be about to ‘greet’ flag draped coffins.

    S D why would you want him to be there for Flag draped coffins, and dont trail out the old saying “For Respect”. I think more respect is being shown by staying away, that is a moment for family.

    I think that a salute from a member of the Royal Family (many whom hold Military titles)
    as our fallen heroes return would add dignity and yes, show respect. Afterall, these soldiers do swear allegiance to Queen and country. I also happen think the families may even appreciate the gesture.
    It is also worth noting that to the best of my knowledge, Tony Blair has never been present for the homecoming of a fallen soldier…..although, I CAN see how families may not have appreciated his presence.
