I genuinely like Prince Henry.
One of his famous quotes after his training and commissioning as a 2nd Lt., when preparing to deploy to combat was,
"There's no way I'm going to put myself through Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country."
He was secretly deployed as a Forward Air Controller to Helmand Province in Afghanistan in 2007. When an Australian newspaper reported his presence, he had to be pulled out after only three weeks in Country. He went home and ended up applying for, being accepted to, and then going through helicopter flight training, which he passed. He went on to ultimately qualify as an Apache pilot. In 2012-2013 he completed a 20 week tour back in Afghanistan as an Apache gunner, flying combat missions.
He's a standup guy.

Prince Harry is a "Warrior Prince" just like Ole Britain when the English (& Scottish too) had their Princes who do battle. Prince William is a Helo Pilot who would do his part as a serviceman, BUT he is an heir to the throne so a bit difficult for him to be adventurous like Harry.

Soldiers of 1st Battalion, The Royal Welsh Battlegroup
Soldiers of 1st Battalion, The Royal Welsh (1 R WELSH) have conducted top-up training for Lead Armoured Battle Group (LABG) sub-units on the first exercise of the season at the British Army Training Unit Suffield (BATUS) in Southern Alberta, Canada.Attached to the 1 R WELSH battlegroup was the Right Flank, Scots Guards, half of B Squadron, the Kings Royal Hussars and B Company, 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry - a mechanised infantry unit using third-generation light armoured vehicles.
Exercise PRAIRIE STORM focussed on sub-unit training and consisted of three phases over the course of three weeks.
For the first week, the troops took part in sub-unit ‘dry training’ – an opportunity for the troops to practice low-level skills and drills. This was followed by a week of live firing, progressing from basic close combat dismounted firing and armoured fighting vehicle crew-level exercises, through to troop and platoon exercises and up to company-group live fire battle runs. The week culminated in a sequence of discrete company-group tactical actions, which combined dismounted and mounted firing, with Canadian and British sub-units fully integrated.
The final week of PRAIRIE STORM was a force-on-force exercise, which put the soldiers of 1 R WELSH battlegroup through their paces with a ‘live’ opposing force led by the Queen’s Royal Lancers and 1 R WELSH’s own mortar platoon.
It was a good test for 1 R WELSH which only formed up on 1 April 2014 following a merger with 2 R WELSH a few months prior to deploying to BATUS.
