  • Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, fought on the front lines in the Afghanistan War from December 2007 to late February of 2008. His tour in Afghanistan was subject to a media blackout for security purposes, but in late February of 2008, information on his posting was leaked by the Drudge Report, forcing the Ministry of Defence to confirm that he had been in the Helmand Province since late 2007. Just hours after the leak about Harry's posting in Afghanistan, it was announced he would return home to Britain.
