Prince Harry Of England

[Cop]

Prince Harry is being urged to apologise in person for wearing a Nazi costume to a fancy dress party.
He has apologised in a statement after being pictured in the Sun newspaper wearing a German desert uniform with swastika armband.

But former royal press spokesman Dicky Arbiter and the Tory leader Michael Howard said that was not good enough.

Clarence House said on Thursday Prince Harry had already publicly apologised and there were no plans to say more.
In his statement the prince said: "I am very sorry if I caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone. It was a poor choice of costume and I apologise."

Prince Harry to serve in Iraq

Prince Harry and his regiment are to be sent to Iraq despite the security risk his deployment will pose, the government confirmed today.
The defence secretary, Des Browne, outlined the posting to Iraq of Harry's regiment, the Blues and Royals, in a written statement to the Commons.

To protect the prince's safety, Clarence House appealed to the media not to speculate about where he would serve.

The prince, who is third in line to the throne, will become the first royal to serve a tour of duty in a war zone since his uncle Prince Andrew flew helicopters in the Falklands conflict 25 years ago.

Sources at the Windsor-based Household Cavalry Regiment said the prince was "over the moon".

"He has done all the courses to take his troop to war and it would have been sad if he was pulled out. He joined the regiment to do what the regiment does," they said.

The Sun today reported official doubts about the wisdom of the deployment of the prince, to whom the army refers as Cornet Wales. The paper quoted a senior source as saying: "It is a security nightmare. Harry will be a magnet for suicide bombers. It puts his men in as much risk as him. But we think we've found a way that is safe enough and fair."

Clarence House said in a statement that the prince would carry out a "normal troop commander's role".

It said: "Whilst in Iraq, Cornet Wales will carry out a normal troop commander's role, involving leading a troop of 12 men in four Scimitar armoured reconnaissance vehicles, each with a crew of three."

It added: "Speculation about precisely where Cornet Wales will serve, or the exact details of his role, is potentially dangerous.

"The Ministry of Defence and Clarence House are writing to ask all media organisations to respect this matter of operational security in order that Cornet Wales can undertake a normal tour of duty, which is his express wish and that of the army."

It is believed that the prince had threatened to leave the army if he were prevented from going to Iraq. Speaking in a television interview in 2005, he said: "If they said 'No, you can't go frontline' then I wouldn't drag my sorry arse through Sandhurst and I wouldn't be where I am now.

"The last thing I want to do is have my soldiers away to Iraq or wherever like that and for me to be held back home."

Today's announcement comes a day after Tony Blair outlined the first step in a phased withdrawal of British forces from the country with the return of some 1,600 troops within months.

Michael Clarke, professor of war studies at King's College London, said the deployment of the third in line to the throne was part of the army's "business as usual" ethos, and that a non-commissioned officer could be assigned to Harry's troop to ensure his safety.

Prof Clarke stressed that Harry's stint in Iraq would be more complicated than his uncle's active service in the Falklands war. "This case will not be as straightforward," he warned. "The operation they are in is not so clear. It's boots on the ground. There's a mix in society that's dangerous."

John Nichol, a former RAF navigator who was shot down in 1991 during the first Gulf war, said it was right the prince should serve on the frontline.

He told GMTV: "If we were not going to allow him to go to war, he shouldn't have gone into the army. He knew what he was getting into, we knew what he was getting into, and his family knew what he was getting into when he joined the army."

He added: "I served 16 years in the military, and I can tell you that there is nothing worse at all than being left behind or put into a role where you are not with the men you would normally serve with."

وزارت دفاع بريتانيا روز پنجشنبه (26 آوریل) اعلام کرده که برنامه اعزام شاهزاده هری، دومين پسر وليعهد اين کشور به عراق را بازنگری می کند.
چندی پیش وزارت دفاع بریتانیا اعلام کرده بود که هنگ شاهزاده هری بخشی از برنامه های ارتش این کشور برای اعزام نيرو به عراق خواهد بود.

وزارت دفاع بریتانیا گفته است که تصمیم به تجدید نظر در اعزام واحد نظامی شاهزاده هری پس از کشته شدن یازده سرباز این کشور در خونین ترین نبرد نظامیان بریتانیا در عراق گرفته شده است.

در همین حال، تونی بلر، نخست وزیر بریتانیا، گفته است که اگر فرزند او بخواهد در عراق انجام وظیفه کند، او "خوشحال" خواهد بود.

با این نخست وزیر بریتانیا اضافه کرد که وضعیت شاهزاده هری "فقط به ارتش این کشور مربوط می شود."

وزارت دفاع بریتانیا گفته است که موضوع اعزام شاهزاده هری در این وزاتخانه"همواره" در حال بررسی است و تصمیم نهایی با ژنرال ریچارد دانات، فرمانده ارتش بریتانیاست.

شاهزاده هری، 22 ساله، اولين عضو ارشد خانواده سلطنتی پس از عمويش، شاهزاده اندرو است که به ميدان نبرد اعزام می شود. شاهزاده اندرو، دومين پسر ملکه اليزابت، در سال 1982 در جنگ فالکلند شرکت داشت.

شاهزاده هری در ماه آوريل سال گذشته از مدرسه نظامی "سندهرست" فارغ التحصيل شد و در ماه اکتبر آموزش های لازم برای رهبری عمليات تجسسی زرهی را با موفقيت به پايان برد.

همقطاران وی، شاهزاده هری را "فرمانده ارتش ولز" خطاب می کنند. به وليعهد بريتانيا، پدر هری و ويليامز، لقب شاهزاده ولز داده شده است.

شاهزاده هری، بر اساس آموزش هايی که دريافت کرده است می تواند يازده سرباز مجهز به چهار تانک زرهی را برای انجام عمليات تجسسی فرماندهی کند.

Iraq militia: we have special unit to target Prince Harry

Prince Harry will be a prime kidnap target for insurgents in Iraq, a commander in the Mahdi army, the Shia militia loyal to the radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, has told the Guardian.
"One of our aims is to capture Harry, we have people inside the British bases to inform us on when he will arrive," claimed Abu Mujtaba, who commands a unit of around 50 men active in the Mahdi army in Basra.

In comments denounced by British defence sources as "blatant propaganda", Abu Mujtaba told the Guardian: "We have a special unit that would work to track him down, with informants inside the bases.

"Not only us, the Mahdi army, that will try to capture him, but every person who hates the British and the Americans will try to get him, all the mujahideens in Iraq, the al-Qaida, the Iranians all will try to get him."

The Guardian has seen evidence that Abu Mujtaba has a number of men under his command as well as weaponry including rockets, but there is no independent evidence to substantiate his claims that militias have infiltrated British bases, or established a unit to target Prince Harry.

Abu Mujtaba continued: "For me he is just a British soldier and he should be killed if comes to Iraq, but let's be realistic, we can kill hundreds of British soldiers before forcing them to withdraw - like what's happening with Americans now - but Harry is a bigger catch and we will force the British to come on their knees and talk to us."

A senior Iraqi defence ministry official said that militias could overrun Basra relatively easily because they had successfully infiltrated local security forces. "When the Brits formed these forces they depended on these militias for lists of recruits," he said.

Responding to the threats against Prince Harry, a British defence source said: "This is blatant propaganda from those who aim to tear Iraq apart. These threats will not prevent British forces from doing their vital work of building up the Iraqi security forces and helping them to face down those perpetuating violence against the Iraqi people."

The Ministry of Defence yesterday maintained its previous official line, that Prince Harry's deployment on a six-month tour to south-eastern Iraq with his regiment, the Blues and Royals of the Household Cavalry, was under "constant consideration". It added: "It remains our intention that Prince Harry will be deployed as a troop leader."

The Blues and Royals are part of a mechanised brigade to be deployed next month. They will carry out reconnaissance using armoured cars. Reports that an attack by a roadside bomb on an armoured vehicle in Maysan province last week that killed two British soldiers was a "dry run" for an attempt on the prince's life were treated with scepticism yesterday by senior defence sources. However, it was the first time British soldiers have been killed in that type of vehicle in south-eastern Iraq by hostile action and security has been stepped up in the areas where the Blues and Royals will be based.

Defence officials and military commanders are becoming agitated by the intense media coverage of Prince Harry's planned deployment. They argue that it encourages insurgents and militia in Iraq to escalate their propaganda war as well as increase the risks surrounding the prince's deployment. Commanders are concerned that the deployment may increase the threat to all his regimental colleagues, and even to all British troops in the area.

A final decision whether or not to deploy the prince will be taken by General Sir Richard Dannatt, the head of the army. While in Iraq, the prince - known as Cornet Wales - would carry out a troop commander's role, involving leading a troop of 12 men in four armoured reconnaissance vehicles, each with a crew of three.

April has been the bloodiest month for British service personnel in south-eastern Iraq since the invasion four years ago with 11 killed so far.

فرمانده ارتش بریتانیا تایید کرده است که شاهزاده هری، پسر ولیعهد بریتانیا، همراه با هنگی که در آن خدمت می کند به عراق اعزام خواهد شد.
ژنرال ریچارد دانات گفت که شخصا چنین تصمیمی گرفته است اما تاکید کرد که موضوع همچنان تحت بررسی باقی خواهد ماند.

وی خواستار پایان "گمانه زنی های کم و بیش التهاب آمیز رسانه ای پیرامون این مساله" شد چرا که به گفته وی "به نفع کلیه افراد ما در عراق در این مقطع خواهد بود."

با توجه به آنچه به نظر می رسد بدتر شدن تنش ها در عراق باشد نگرانی هایی در مورد ایمنی شاهزاده هری وجود دارد.

ژنرال دانات گفت: "تصمیم گرفته شده است که او مستقر شود. البته من این تصمیم را همچنان تحت بررسی خواهم داشت، و اگر شرایط طوری باشد که لازم به تغییر این تصمیم شوم، بیانیه دیگری صادر خواهم کرد."

وزارت دفاع بریتانیا ابتدا در ماه فوریه اعلام کرد که هنگ شاهزاده هری بخشی از برنامه های ارتش این کشور برای اعزام نیرو به عراق خواهد بود.


شاهزاده هری، ۲۲ ساله، اولین عضو ارشد خانواده سلطنتی پس از عمویش، شاهزاده اندرو خواهد بود که به میدان نبرد اعزام می شود. شاهزاده اندرو، دومین پسر ملکه الیزابت، در سال ۱۹۸۲ در جنگ فالکلند شرکت داشت



شاهزاده هری همواره تمایل خود را برای خدمت در مناطق جنگی اعلام کرده است، اما کشته شدن ۱۲ سرباز بریتانیا در ماه جاری در عراق، که یکی از خونین ترین حوادث برای این نیروها از زمان آغاز جنگ عراق بود، باعث افزایش نگرانی ها نسبت به ایمنی وی و سربازان تحت فرمان او شد.

شاهزاده هری که ۲۲ سال دارد در آموزش های تمهیدی شرکت کرده است. وی به عنوان افسر، ۱۱ سرباز را در عملیات تجسسی با چهار نفربری زرهی هر یک با سه خدمه هدایت خواهد کرد.
منتقدان می گویند خطراتی که متوجه شاهزاده هری است خیلی زیاد است اما سایرین بر این نظرند که شورشیان قادر به پی بردن به محل دقیق استقرار او نخواهند بود.

تصور می شود که وی همواره اصرار کرده باشد که نباید به خاطر موقعیتش با او برخورد متفاوتی از دیگران در پیش گرفته شود.

بلاتكليفي شاهزادگان نظامي

سئوال داغ اين هفته اين بود كه شاهزاده هري، پسر دوم شاهزاده چارلز، وليعهد بريتانيا و نفر سوم در پشت تاج و تخت پادشاهي متحد به عراق اعزام بشود يا نه.

بحث بر سر اعزام شاهزاده هري به عراق اول در روزنامه ها شروع شد
شاهزاده هري كه در دانشكده معروف سن هرست فنون نظامي آموخته و با درجه ستوان دوم در نيروي زميني خدمت مي كند، به گفته چند 'منبع نزديك' گفته كه نه از مرگ مي ترسد و نه از جنگ و گريز جاري در بصره و حوالي آن كه محل اصلي اسقرار نيروهاي بريتانيا در خاك عراق است.

بحث بر سر اعزام شاهزاده به عراق اول در روزنامه ها شروع شد و نه سخنگوي وزارت دفاع در اين باره چيزي گفت و نه ستاد ارتش.

چند روزنامه با اشاره به يك سايت اينترنتي به ظاهر نزديك به پيكار جويان شيعه در جنوب عراق كه نوشته بود برنامه اي براي ربودن ستوان دوم هري چيده اند تا گوشهاي بريده اش را براي اليزابت دوم، ملكه بريتانيا و مادر بزرگ اين شاهزاده نظامي بفرستند، به دربار و دولت توصيه كردند كه از اعزام شاهزاده هري به عراق صرفنظر كنند.

و باز همان 'منابع نزديك' به شاهزاده، به روزنامه ها خبر دادند كه تهديد كرده اگر به عراق اعزام نشود از خدمت در ارتش كناره گيري خواهد كرد.

اين ادعاي دست دوم فورا تكذيب شد ولي باز معلوم نشد كه نظر خانواده سلطنتي و دولت و فرماندهان ارتش در اين باره چيست.

روزنامه و رسانه هاي ديگر از اين فرصت و انتظار بهره برداري كردند و در مقاله و پاورقي و فيلم هاي مستند تلويزيوني تاريخچه حضور اعضاي خانواده سلطنتي بريتانيا در جبهه هاي جنگ را مرور كردند.

در 1914 در جريان جنگ جهاني اول شاهزاده ادوارد كه بعد با نام ادوارد هشتم تاجگذاري كرد از ستاد ارتش خواست تا او را به جبهه هاي جنگ در فرانسه بفرستد.

ولي لرد كيچينر، وزير جنگ اين تقاضا را رد كرد. شاهزاده ادوارد تقاضاي تجديد نظر كرد و به او گفتند: "دولت و ارتش حاضر به قبول خطر ربوده شدن شما توسط دشمن نيستند."

عاقبت به ادوارد اجازه دادند چند بار فقط از جبهه هاي جنگ بازديد كند.

تنها شاهزاده اي كه در قرن بيستم عملا در جنگ شركت كرد، شاهزاده اندرو، پسر دوم ملكه و عموي شاهزاده هري است كه در1982 در جريان جنگ بريتانيا با آرژانتين براي بازپس گرفتن جزاير فالكلند در جنوب اقيانوس اطلس خلبان هلي كوپتر در نيروي دريايي بود.

عضو ديگر خانواده سلطنتي كه وارد خدمت نظام شده ولي محال است در جنگي شركت كند، شاهزاده ويليام، پسر ارشد چارلز وليعهد و برادر بزرگتر هري است.

ويليام كه بعد از پدرش، نفر دوم در پشت تاج و تخت ايستاده مي داند كه نه به عراق اعزام خواهد شد و نه به افغانستان و چون انتظار مي رود خدمت نظام را ترك كند، مسئله به خودي خود حل است.

سئوال بدون پاسخ در اين است كه اگر اعضاي نظامي خانواده سلطنتي بريتانيا هرگز به جبهه جنگ اعزام نخواهند شد، پس چرا به مدرسه نظام مي روند؟ چون گذراندن دوره دانشكده افسري كار آساني نيست و حقوق و مزاياي يك افسر دون پايه هم چنگي به دل نمي زند.

حتما ابهت لباس نظامي پوشيدن و در مراسم رژه شركت كردن بايد نقشي در اين تصميم داشته باشد.

سئوال ديگري كه بدون پاسخ مانده اين است كه آيا واقعا شاهزادگاني كه در ناز و نعمت و آسايش پرورش يافته اند مي توانند سختي ها و بي خوابي هاي جدال واقعي را تحمل كنند.

شايد براي اعضاي جوانتر خانواده سلطنتي بد نباشد كه به 'ريچارد سوم' اثر ويليام شكسپير نامي ترين درام نويس دنياي انگليسي زبان مراجعه كنند. در اين اثر كلاسيك و تراژيك مي خوانيم كه وقتي ريچارد سوم خود را در محاصره دشمن مي بيند با التماس فرياد مي زند: "يك اسب به من بدهيد و ملكم مال شما".

درباره ماموريت شاهزاده هري در عراق، وزارت دفاع تصميم نهايي را به عهده ستاد ارتش گذاشت و اواسط هفته ژنرال سر ريچارد دانت، رئيس ستاد نيروهاي مسلح گفت ستوان دوم هري با گروه خود به عراق اعزام خواهد شد ولي ماهيت ماموريت او اعلام نشد.

به احتمال زياد ماموريت هري در جبهه نخواهد بود و مسئوليتي دفتري در ستاد فرماندهي به او سپرده خواهد شد.

پسر ولیعهد بریتانیا به عراق اعزام نمی شود


شاهزاد هری حدود يک سال پيش مدرسه نظامی را به پايان برد
فرمانده ارتش بریتانیا روز چهارشنبه (16 مه) اعلام کرد شاهزاده هری، پسر ولیعهد بریتانیا، همراه با هنگی که در آن خدمت می کند به عراق اعزام نخواهد شد.
ژنرال ریچارد دانات گفت در آخرین سفری که به عراق داشته مطلع شده که در این کشور خطراتی مستقیما متوجه شاهزاده هری و همراهان او خواهد بود. وی گفت که شاهزاده هری از شنیدن این خبر بسیار ناراحت خواهد شد.

فرمانده ارتش بریتانیا اواخر ماه آوریل گفته بود که نوه ملکه بریتانیا به عراق اعزام خواهد شد اما تاکید کرده بود که این تصمیم همچنان تحت بررسی باقی خواهد ماند.

ظاهرا مقامات با توجه به آنچه بدتر شدن تنش ها در عراق ارزیابی شده است، در مورد ایمنی شاهزاده هری نگران بوده اند.

وزارت دفاع بریتانیا ابتدا در ماه فوریه اعلام کرد که هنگ شاهزاده هری بخشی از برنامه های ارتش این کشور برای اعزام نیرو به عراق خواهد بود.

Harry's secret new war role

Army chiefs want to find a way of letting Prince Harry fulfil his dream of seeing frontline action.

Desperate to repair the public relations disaster caused by the decision not to send him to Iraq, they are trying to find him a secret war role by switching him to another unit.

There are two options: he could be deployed to a United Nations force, which would enable him to serve in trouble spots in Africa or Bosnia, where there is a smaller risk of being directly targeted by insurgents. The other would be to switch him to another regiment so that he could see action in Afghanistan.

Military sources said they would find a way for him to enter and leave the conflict area without the public finding out until he was safely home.

Until then Harry, 22, may have to spend time with colleagues injured and at the end of their careers as Army chiefs wrestle with what to do with him.

He will now join his brother William in D Squadron of the Blues and Royals, a holding unit destined never to go to war. The squadron, which has far fewer men than his original A squadron, is made up of injured soldiers unfit to serve or those preparing to leave the regiment.

The Army's U-turn on sending him to Iraq came after a detailed report by British commanders on the ground suggesting he would be deliberately targeted by splinter groups directly paid and supplied by Iran.

Despite assurances by Clarence House that Harry will not quit the Army as a result of the decision, it has left him "devastated" and reconsidering his long-term military career, according to senior sources. The dilemma for the Army is how to ensure that the Prince has a fulfilling career without leaving him open to the sort of danger he would have faced in Iraq.

If he stays with the Blues and Royals, the only other immediate possibility of performing an operational tour of duty would be in Afghanistan - which would have exposed him as a target to insurgents in exactly the same way as Iraq.

The difficulty has been compounded by the fact that the A and B squadrons of his regiment have already been sent to Iraq, while the other active unit, C Squadron, is to be sent to Afghanistan "imminently".

One source close to the Prince said: "It is going to play on his mind - 'why am I doing all this training if I am not going to use it?' And it is a valid question.

"Harry wants to be taken seriously as a professional soldier - this decision makes that almost impossible."

William is to leave the Blues and Royals in a few months to join the RAF and the Royal Navy for short periods as part of the preparation for his future role as head of the Armed Forces. Royal sources have suggested this as a possible option for Harry as well.

If Harry is transferred to the UN, that would allow him to serve in a trouble spot such as Darfur.

Until a decision is made about his future, Harry is expected to keep a low profile. His girlfriend Chelsy Davy is understood to be in London, but Harry is under strict orders to avoid adverse publicity by being seen out at nightclubs.

The Army's volte-face has left the soldiers who were under Harry's command - and who had to wait in the UK while their colleagues went to Iraq ahead of them - feeling disgruntled, according to a source.

He said: "Some of Harry's troop are a bit p****d off by this. Harry told the guys he was definitely going. They have had to hang around.

"Now they've got to get used to a new troop commander once one is found. It is a bit of shambles." Reg Keys - whose 20-year-old son Thomas was killed while on active service in Basra in 2003 - said Harry should now resign.

"It would appear that Harry's life is more valuable than my son or the other nearly 150 service personnel who've given their lives," he said. "They will think they've scared us off."

The final decision not to send Harry came after the assessment of the commanders on the ground was endorsed by Lt General Nick Houghton, the Joint Operations Commander in the UK.

Both the head of the Army, General Sir Richard Dannatt, and the Chief of the Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, have visited Basra in the past week to consult-with the British commanders there before coming to a final decision about the prince.

They were briefed about the spate of attacks by gangsters and Shia extremists, outside the mainstream Shia militias, who appear now to be directly sponsored by elements of the Revolutionary Guard in Iran.

General Sir Richard Dannatt said the prince's deployment would pose an "unacceptable" threat to him and his men. "There have been a number of specific threats, some reported, some not reported, which relate directly to Prince Harry as an individual," he said.

Prince Harry to be deployed in Afghanistan

London, May 21: After the British Army ruled out Prince Harry's deployment in the insurgency-hit Iraq, reports have indicated that the Royal is likely to be sent to Afghanistan.

The Prince, who is third in line to the British throne after his father, Prince Charles and elder brother, Prince William, was stopped from serving in Iraq due to threats to his life and also the risk involved for his regiment due to his presence.

Insurgents have named Harry as their target which made the British military to re-think about their decision to deploy the Prince in the war-struck country.

The 22-year-old officer is likely to join the fight against the Taliban, a British tabloid claimed. The newspaper, however, did not give any further details about the plan. The news has not been confirmed by official sources.

Harry is a second lieutenant in the elite Blues and Royals regiment of the British Army's Household Cavalry. He is responsible for 11 soldiers and four Scmitar reconnaissance vehicles.

Army chief General Sir Richard Dannatt blocked him from being sent to southern Iraq, due to threats against his life that would put his men in "unacceptable" danger.

Reports claimed that militants planned to hit both British camps in southern Iraq with chlorine bombs - which kill victims by burning their lungs - to be certain of getting the young Prince.

Cornet Wales, the name used for Harry in the Army, is set to be posted to Afghanistan before 2008 and could be seconded to join a NATO command unit, the newspaper said. He would carry out low-risk operations and earn a campaign medal after serving for 30 days, it said.

NATO troops are spread out across Afghanistan and therefore Prince Harry could serve at any one of a large number of locations across the stride-torn country.

"He will probably serve as a very junior watch-keeper, possibly working through the night," a senior army source was quoted as saying.
