CAMP BASTION , Afghanistan (AP) - Britain's Ministry of Defense says Prince Harry has returned to Afghanistan to fly Apache attack helicopters during a four-month tour of combat duty.
 
The 27-year-old who is third in line to the British throne looked relaxed, if slightly tired Friday, and gave a thumbs-up after a long journey on a standard troop flight from England.
 
Capt. Harry Wales, as he is known, wore his combat uniform upon arrival and joined his 100-strong unit - the 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment Army Air Corps.
 
The deployment Friday follows an embarrassing incident in which Internet website published photographs of the prince naked and taking part in a strip billiards game in a Las Vegas hotel room.

This young man has seen more tragedy in his life than many of us could ever think of seeing…He lost his mother at a very young age….He heard all of the "trash" that the media and gossipers were so happy to repeat about his Mum! No matter what kind of "advantaged" life this young man has had…Losing your Mom/Mum, at such a vulnerable stage in your life….Are we all so hardened in our lives that we can not imagine how difficult this could be!?!?!? Have we all forgotten empathy? Put yourself in the shoes of this young man! And you dare to make judgement?!!!!
