Prince Harry tour of duty in Afghanistan

Prince Harry tour of duty in Afghanistan; Prince Harry interview SOT Q: Is that juggling, and that conflict going to become increasingly more difficult as your get older? A: I don't think it's going to become more difficult. The balance may be swayed a little bit. Now that I'm qualified in this aircraft, all I have to do is stay current, and make sure that I spend enough time in work. I'm not a sort of half-time Army officer. This is my full-time job.

It's fantastic to see so much support, and keep it coming. We're going to be here until 2014, and maybe a little bit longer, and as long as the guys are out on the ground, the support needs to keep coming. Q: Moving on to another aspect of your life, the charitable work. What's in the pipeline for you in terms of the charities that you're going to be supporting? You're obviously patron to a few.
