PRINCE Harry’s military career could be at an end after the British Army decided he would not be sent to serve in Iraq, sparking a public backlash.
The decision to keep the prince, 22, home safe has angered the families of other soldiers who say their children deserve the same safeguards.
Briton Rose Gentle, whose son Gordon died in a roadside bomb attack, said: “If it is too dangerous for Harry, it is too dangerous for the rest of the troops out there. If he can’t go, why are our boys there?”
British Army bosses ruled yesterday that Prince Harry, couldn’t go to war because plots to kill or kidnap him posed an unacceptable risk to him and his fellow soldiers.
The royal was said to be “very disappointed” at the shock decision to stop him flying out next week.
