Usually when old nations or kingdoms went to war, the leadership, especially the king or queen would lead the forces onto the battlefield. Nowadays such examples are very rare, and are pretty much nonexistent.
Today, a part of the monarchy of the British people has decided to step into the battle front. Prince Harry has been called to duty into Iraq, and will join his fellow compatriots commanding a tank squadron.
Prince Harry graduated from Sandhurst, the Royal Military Academy, last April and qualified as an armored reconnaissance troop leader in October.
In a statement made by the Prince last year, he said: "There's no way I'm going to put myself through Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country."
Well done Prince Harry! Keep yourself safe, and lead your nation. You are truly doing your duty. May God Save the Prince!
