##Quote. The forces are a logical place to send royals, but I just don't see how they can be treated fairly. The unconscious bias, which Harry discovered this week, will either judge them harshly or leniently. They seem to rise through the ranks effortlessly, and all have a huge raft of medals. The whole thing is basically an outmoded pantomime.
Could be wrong on this, but seem to think when Harry was in the army, they weren’t able to deploy him in a significant combat role in Afghanistan with risk of injury or death because of the massive damage to moral etc and obvious gain this would give the enemy - imagine if he has been captured by the Taliban for instance.
