Prince Harry has had some bad reviews about some of his antics when he was younger. He grew up. He enlisted in the military and has had two deployments to Afghanistan. He came to America recently and hit off with our military men and women. I have the highest respect for him and for what he has done since being in America. He continues to be an example of how a celebrity should act. Now, to the rest of the story:

Overcome with emotion. Prince Harry was deeply moved after a U.S. Marine gave the dog tag of a fallen colleague to the royal on Sunday, Nov. 1, at Buckingham Palace.

Marine Kirstie Ennis had just finished a 1,000 mile marathon trek for charity through Britain with five others when she presented the royal, 31, with the dog tag. Ennis herself had been severely injured in a 2012 helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

The royal, 31, gave a hug to Marine Kirstie Ennis as she presented him with a dog tag from a fallen Marine. Ennis, 24, who was severely injured in a 2012 helicopter crash in Afghanistan, walked 1,000 miles through Britain along with five other people.

No negative feelings, just consider him a veteran who cares and shows emotion!

Same way I feel now. I didn't know much about him before his visit to Ametica. He's just one of the guys, and that's awesome.

SGT (Join to see) - unless you are in the media relations department at Buckingham Palace. In which case Harry being one of the guys causes copious use of alcohol and loss of sleep at night.

Nope. Even though I am Irish American, I am a huge fan of Princes Harry & William. Harry was in Colorado for Disabled Veterans games and coverage was spectacular. He seems like a soldier’s soldier. Did you know William piloted a C-17 back to the UK from KAF with the remains of a fallen British soldier? Bravo.
It’s inspiring to know that these Royals, the cream of Great Britain, put their nation first.
I’d remind members of what we heard 4 yrs ago from Presidential candidate ref his 5 sons National Service; “One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping to get me elected.”

Yes Sir, I knew that he came home with the soldier. I didn't know he was the pilot. He's a great leader and example.

I would agree with SGT Bodine. His military service carries more weight than any PR.

Harry looks like a good Irishman so as someone who is 25% Irish I too will over look his being a Brit.

I think they are very respectful people. Everyone has their flaws, but how they treat people even in other countries is very classy!
