Prince Harry is serving in Afghanistan: Prince Harry interview before his deployment

Prince Harry is serving in Afghanistan: Prince Harry interview before his deployment; (You could be stuck in quite a remote place) - I think Afghanistan is a remote place in general, I've never actually been there - not a great holiday resort apparently. I really look forward to going there, it is winter which is a slight disappointment, it's going to be a little bit cold, bit of snow but at least I might have a white Christmas. (Are you going to have a body double on Christmas Day at Sandringham?) - No, that was one of the main problems, when people suddenly realise that I am out of the country.

(Prince Willliam will presumably, have to absent himself or something?) - Yes, well, I don't know what he'll be doing. I'm sure he'll be working in his new RAF role or something like that, but I missed Christmas last year I may say (intelligible) (We've talked of the risks, and obviously we know that Prince William has known people who have died. You, presumably, also are aware of people you have trained with who have died in battle, either in Iraq or Afghanistan?) - Mainly, well not mainly, but yes injured. William and I were down at Headley Court the other day just meeting all the people that actually don't get recognition, all the guys who lost their limbs in one way or another. There is one, two, people that I knew of who died out there – they weren't, sort of, close to me but at the end of the day they wear the same uniform as you, they are brothers or close mates, but yes it does happen. (What more do you think that we, the public, could do about the injured soldiers you were saying there?) - I don't really know what I'm allowed to say on that for political reasons, but the whole Help For Heroes charity that is being set up at the moment by numerous people just ...
