Prince Returns Home after US Media Leak


According to British news media, the Guardian, Prince Harry returned to the UK Friday following a US media leak of his current front line military post in Afghanistan.  The news was leaked through the US media outlet The Drudge Report, as well as online outlets.  The British media outlets were all previously aware of the prince's deployment in Afghanistan, but had struck a deal with the Ministry of Defense that would provide photographs and footage of the prince while deployed.  The media outlets were urged not to release the information right away should a foreign media outlet expose the story first.
