...Harry fought Taliban forces in Afghanistan for 77 days, making him the first member of the Royal Family to serve in a combat zone since his uncle, Prince Andrew, flew helicopters during the Falklands War. The British military tried to keep Harry's presence a secret out of concern for his safety - going so far as to broker a "blackout" deal with the British media, who promised not to reveal the prince's location - but the The Drudge Report and other foreign media outlets revealed the information, forcing his commanders to pull him from duty in early...
