LONDON - Prince Harry will deploy to Iraq, the head of the British army said on Monday, after speculation that he may not go because of fears he could be targeted by insurgents.Henry Tudor was probably subject to the same sort of speculation.
But General Sir Richard Dannatt also said he could yet change his mind, if circumstances change. “I have taken the decision as chief of general staff. It’s my decision as chief of general staff. I have full command of everyone in the army, including Prince Harry,” he said in a statement. “The decision has been taken by myself that he (Harry) will deploy with his regiment in due course.”
Dannatt said the decision had been taken after the “widest possible consultation.”
Asked the queen if he could go, huh?
“I will of course keep that decision continually under review and if circumstances are such that I change that decision, I will make a further statement,” he told Sky News.
