    Good for Harry, doing something productive instead of the “so called” royalty in the States who are spoiled brats!

    Not taking away anything from this good prince…this is a medal given to all those who served in Afghanistan. It is, of course, well deserved by all. Those who did greater service receive individual medals for those brave deeds. This is not what Prince Henry of Wales is getting. Being who he is Prince Harry draws the media. In this case it is good because all those brave men and women get the publicity they well deserve. Here! Here!
