Too Much Army, Too Little Prince...

...said Prince Harry, at the end of a tour of duty in Afghanistan where he has been co-piloting an Apache chopper and shooting at Taleban. Should he have said he had killed some Taleban? Should he have been interviewed at all? How different was this very ordinary seeming young(ish) soldier from the man who was trapped on camera playing strip billiards or something? Who cares?

Clearly, a lot of people care, not least him. He doesn't like the popular press - and who would? But really, I can't help but pity him. He didn't ask to be a prince. He doesn't seem to want to be a prince. He thinks his brother envies him his army role, and he may be right. Do any of the royals truly enjoy what they have to do? Any of it? Is it possible?
