~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
Great Britain's Prince Harry, third in line to
the throne, may be seeing combat. His regiment,
the Blues and Royals, will be going to Iraq soon.
The Top 17 Signs You're Fighting Alongside Royalty
- Despite the duct tape, his crown keeps slipping off his helmet during battle.
- Upon taking fire from insurgents: "We are NOT amused!"
- "Wouldn't it be more sporting if we just challenged them to a croquet match?"
- Your mounted regiment just won the Iraqi National Polo Championship.
- The shooting comes to a grinding halt every afternoon at 4:00 for tea.
- Your entire regiments MREs come with silver-plated plastic cutlery and Grey Poupon.
- His grandmother hires Helen Mirren to write to him weekly.
- "On my signal, Colonel Walmer, release the foxes!"
- His "foxhole" is a split-level, oak-paneled job that resembles the Waldorf, only with more restaurants and a better bar.
