I think one got KIA in the Falklands. Lord Mount Batten got blown by a bomb the IRA put on his boat, too. Harry was in Afghanistan or Iraq (can't remember which) but he was surrounded by a team of bloodthirsty Gurkhas the whole time so I doubt he got so much as a scratch.
Ryan Gray
I heard they got a bunch of Afgan Prisoners to play basketball and Harry mowed them down with a SAW!
Isaiah Collins
As I recall in the media they reported him as adventurous and well liked.
There was a picture floating around of him with a hi power tucked into his molle that people on Jow Forums seemed to like.
Julian Sullivan
Well shit if guy died in the Falklands then he was infantry, right? I didn't think they'd let royals actually get shot at.
Gurkhas waiting to wreck shit watching Harry makes sense though. I heard conflicting things about whether he actually saw combat wherever he was deployed though.

>Well shit if guy died in the Falklands then he was infantry, right? I didn't think they'd let royals actually get shot at.
I was wrong. He didn't died. He just flew a plane during the conflict. Prince Andrew Duke of York.
Brody Nguyen
>Prince Andrew remained on board Invincible to serve as a Sea King helicopter co-pilot, flying on missions that included anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare, Exocet missile decoy, casualty evacuation, transport, and search and air rescue. He witnessed the Argentinian attack on the SS Atlantic Conveyor.
Not necessarily combat but this guy was pulling some shit.
Too fucking aesthetic
I can respect these folks for not hiding away behind desks.
Jaxson Hall
Prince Andrew flew helicopters.
Harry was in combat but the media told everyone and he had a bounty put on his head so he was brought home.
Apparently he was quite annoyed, especially so because the media played a part in his mother's death
Luis Myers
Was in Afghan while 'Capt Wales' was on his second tour - flying as gunner in Apaches.
Had his C/S on the net for fire support a couple of times, supporting SF guys doing quala raids and it sounded like he got his share of Talibs mainly with the 30mm.
>you could hear every chick in the OpsRoom dripping goo whenever he was on the mike.
Luke Gray
>kills taliban
Seems like an okay guy.
Chase Reed
He stopped by my work in 2010 when he was at Kandahar (for Veteran's Day or something). Seemed like a cool guy.
Jacob Cook
Harry was a LT in the Blues&Royals - a light cavalry regiment that usually runs Scimitars as recon vehicles.
When units of the brigade went to Afghan, B&Rs didn't take their vehicles, but went as JTAC teams to other companies. So Harry was out in a FOB with the Royal Marines and Gurkhas calling in their strikes.
UK media had agreed to keep it quiet to avoid him becoming an extravalue target, but after about 4 months of not being in the nightclub news some Womens gossip mag blew his cover and they had to drag him out early to avoid his FOB becoming a shitmagnet.
He could gave stopped then. He'd done more than his token effort, as being a royal he could have stayed back when his unit deployed, but instead he transferred to Apaches to get a second deployment, arguing that pilots are HVTs and always have a SF QRF to recover them anyway so he wouldn't be unnecessarily endangering anyone else by being back in.
>that's balls to fight the deskwankers to go back for a second go at the fight.

Grayson Carter
Going back a ways, I know a Duke died in a plane crash in WW2. And the Queen, then Princess, drove trucks and worked on engines as early as 18 years old.
Dylan Ward
Royalty isn't real and the concept of some fag with rich parents killing poor shitskins is not interesting if he doesn't at least die while doing it.
Jose Morris
Is his gear hanging off of his rifle?
Angel Hernandez
he's so far back in the line of succession now it doesn't matter. he'd have to kill off more people than Richard III
Jason Wilson
Huh?
You mean ?
Looks like his patrolpack is hanging on the same nail that is underneath the SA80.
Maybe he's another Upottefag. Might explain his shit taste in irl women.
Christopher Ross
Yeah, but in 2008 Wills was single and he was the spare in the Heir and a Spare.
William Jenkins
true, missed his chance
Angel Wright
Usually its not a problem but with him being in Afghanistan they had to station a fuck ton of guards at the base and it became more trouble than it was worth. It's a shame because he really wanted to serve
Leo Powell

No, drunk driving and hanging out with the wrong people played a part in his mother's death.

Scooters are pretty terrible though.

Some user posted a story a while back about how he provided close air support for his unit in Afghanistan or Iraq.

Da man. Looks like his Dad (not Charles).
Joseph Young
>B&Rs didn't take their vehicles
Formation Recce had Scimitars and Spartans in Afghanistan.
Also used a lot of Jackals because the first lot of Scimitars were going BLR. But I think this was sorted by the uprated version by the time Harry deployed.
None the less, use of Jackals for FR has persisted and that's why some cavalry regiments lost their armour and have gone light since SDSR 2015.
Harry was doing his job from a Spartan though
Adam Sanders

A rad title. I think Hazza wouldn't mind that. Not that he needs a gun to do the business.
Julian Sanders

I can't wait for him to start cheating on that bitch, with a horse mask on and a jar of wasp in hand.
Jose Cooper
No, I think he was a Lynx pilot. I know he was running missions to confuseanti shipping missiles (something about not being able to differentiate two targets on the same azimuth and splitting the difference and missing) but I dont think that's how he died.
Juan Collins

Feels good, man
>Ywn be a real-life James Bond, granted permission to kill by MI6 and taking direct, top-secret orders from C to assassinate a wayward royal using a car that was custom-built for the task by the MI6 equipment branch.
Sadness envelops me like a blanket. Tuck me in, let me die.

Believe he didnt want any special treatment. Hence why he isnt in full Ops Core and jpc either. Believe he also stated he felt the most at home in the military, he's been very outspoken about what he dislikes about the royal status. Big respect to be honest.

Basically he was running CAS missions in Apaches in afghanistan because the british army and royal air force, due to interservice rivalry, have an agreement that the army can't use fixed wing planes and the RAF doesn't do CAS missions so the british army air corps has a couple dozen apaches that they have run CAS alongside Wildcats and Lynxes.
At the same time, it has to be understood that getting into the army air corps is generally reserved for fairly rich sons of privilege and it's customary for officers to spend half their paycheck towards the officer's mess so his fellow soldiers would have been mostly people he'd already met at university.
He got pulled home early because the press wrote that the taliban had a special bounty on him and also revealed what his unit was and where it was based.
His marriage will probably end due to the monstering the press will do to his new wife, and then after the divorce it'll get worse so he'll probably live to see his current wife divorce him and then die in a dirty french tunnel like his mother did.
Blake Jenkins
Well a british officer has a servant keep his kit clean and make his bed for him anyway.
the only difference is that it's usually just some random ass corporal, but with Harry it was probably secret service type people.
(his dad is also colonel-in-chief of the army air corps, despite his dad having served in the navy rather than army)
yeah, that's the thing that has to be understood: the bald prince is the one who's in line to the throne, the bald prince has had multiple children now, so those children are in line to the throne.
Harry only comes into line for the throne if his grandmother, dad, his brother and all of his brother's children die before him.
Logan Hill
>Well a british officer has a servant keep his kit clean and make his bed for him anyway

It makes more sense when you realise british officers are usually culled from private boarding schools, where it's common for upperclassmen to literally keep a sophomore child as a slave they refer to as "fag", who they're expected to mildly torture if they fuck up any tasks given to them, often in ways that involve nudity & sodomy.
So army or navy life tends to not be too huge a difference from their school days, follow orders, keep to a schedule, torment underlings, keep your fag from causing trouble.
Asher Jenkins

Didn't she dissolve the Australian Parliament in the mid-70's?
Joseph Taylor

Logan Long
Part of a figurehead's duties involve being the one to officially do shit the actual wielders of power have decided upon. Like telling whoever has the parliamentary majority to form a government, or dissolving parliament when shit's gotten fucked and re-election's necessary.
Henry Harris
Don't you guys feel inner conflict when you hear about the royals?
Some part of me thinks back to being a small child and wanting to be a knight who serves my king and protects the realm. Now, instead of a ruler who was ordained by God to sit on the throne we have a gimmick that sells merchandise for every life event. We don't live in a time for heroes.
Feels sad man

Prince philip was an officer in the Royal Navy and served throughout the entirety of the second world war. He took part in the battle of crete, the battle of cape matapan, the invasion of sicily and various escorting duties in the indian ocean and the mediterranean. He ended the war as First Lieutenant on HMS Whelp, at only 21 years old, which was in Tokyo bay when the japanese signed the surrender. After the war he came back to the UK and took up a training role.
By all accounts he was a fantastic officer, liked by his peers and non-commissioned men alike.
It was his time in the RN which gave him his brilliant sense of humour.
He has said in interviews his biggest regret in life was not being able to continue his naval career.
Interestingly, his two step-brothers served in the german navy during world war two.
