Prince Harry Sent Home After Media Blowout!

Prince Harry had been training to fight in Afghanistan for many months and was eager to put what he had learned into action. Since December, the 23-year-old member of the royal family had been fighting in Afghanistan undercover, as media outlets in the UK agreed not to publish the story to protect Harry's safety and the safety of other soldiers.

After a few foreign websites leaked the information, UK media outlets followed suit, potentially putting the prince's safety at risk.

The chief of the general staff and head of the British Army, Sir Richard Dannat expressed his disappointment in the situation:

"I am very disappointed that foreign websites have decided to run this story without consulting us."

And the websites may not have known it at the time, but they ultimately destroyed Prince Harry's opportunity to continue serving duty in Afghanistan.

The ministry of defense confirmed that Prince Harry had been sent home from war after yesterday's incident.

"Following a detailed assessment of the risks by the operational chain of command, the decision has been taken ... to withdraw Prince Harry from Afghanistan immediately," the Defense confirmed in a statement.

"This decision has been taken primarily on the basis that the worldwide media coverage of Prince Harry in Afghanistan could impact on the security of those who are deployed there, as well as the risks to him as an individual soldier."

There's no word on when Harry is expected to arrive back in the UK.
