Britain's Prince William at Westminster Abbey, England, on September 19, 2010.
BRITAIN'S Prince William has said he is determined to serve on the front line in war-torn Afghanistan, following in the footsteps of his younger brother, in comments revealed yesterday. The 28-year-old prince, who is second in line to the throne, completed his first shift as an RAF search and rescue co-pilot a few weeks ago.
In a documentary about his visit to Botswana earlier this year, William said he wants to head to Afghanistan where Britain has some 10,000 troops as part of a Nato-led force fighting a fierce Taliban insurgency. His brother Prince Harry, 26, served with the British army in Afghanistan for 10 weeks but was withdrawn in 2008 after media reported the deployment, triggering security fears.
William expressed his desire to go to Afghanistan when he talked of a time that as an officer in the Household Cavalry regiment some of his unit were deployed there. "My heart was in the army and that's why I first joined them," he told the documentary for Sky 1 television.
