Prince William is a search and rescue pilot for the RAF based in Wales. According to the Telegraph, the elder prince will never see a war zone, like his brother, because it's too dangerous a job for the future monarch. Prince Harry says there's no reason members of the royal family shouldn't be "shot at" if troops on the ground are facing dangers from the Taliban.

The Ministry of Defense has confirmed Prince Harry is returning from Afghanistan. In an extensive interview with members of the media, the 28-year-old prince opened up about Kate Middleton's pregnancy, his Las Vegas nude photo scandal, killing Taliban fighters, and his plans to settle down.

As Examiner.com previously reported, Prince Harry could be sent back to Afghanistan for a third tour of duty in 2014.
