Britain’s Prince Harry paid emotional tribute to his Army colleagues in Iraq at the Concert for Diana yesterday (01.07.07).
The young prince - who was prevented from joining his Blues and Royals squadron in Iraq due to fears for his safety - told London’s packed Wembley Stadium that he wished he was out there fighting with them.
He said: ‘I’d like to take this opportunity to say hi to all the guys in A Squadron Household Cavalry, who are serving out in Iraq at the moment. I wish I was there with you, I’m sorry I can’t be and to you and everybody else on operations at the moment both William and I would like to say, stay safe.’ Harry - a second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals - was due to be deployed in Iraq until Army chief General Sir Richard Dannatt decided the dangers were too great.
The 22-year-old prince has since been training at a British military base in Canada. His training involved armoured vehicle training, leading to reports that Harry might be secretly deployed in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan.
Harry and his older brother Prince William, 25, organised yesterday’s memorial concert to mark the 10th anniversary of the mother Princess Diana’s death in a Paris car crash.
