Prince Harry will not be with his regiment when it ships out for Iraq. According to the Associated Press:
"Gen. Sir Richard Dannatt, the army chief of staff who recently traveled to Iraq, said the changing situation on the ground exposed the prince to too much danger. Media scrutiny of Harry's potential deployment exacerbated the situation, he said.
"'There have been a number of specific threats, some reported and some not reported, that relate directly to Prince Harry as an individual,' Dannatt said. 'These threats exposed him and those around him to a degree of risk I considered unacceptable.'"
Tough call, especially for Harry who was pretty determined to serve with his squadron in the war zone.
