he has been out there for 5 months and will be home from duty soon, why does that make him dim, nor is it he will need extra security, that comes with the territory of being part of the Royal Household i would have thought. So he killed Taliban, so have many, that also comes with the job
The bane of his life from what he was saying is the press, they have at least allowed him the time to get on with his day job, i wish him well.

From what I have seen of him he seems a genuine and caring guy who is incredibly grounded and down to earth. The fact that he has admitted to doing his job, like every other soldier out there, does not make him dim at all.
Would you rather he said that he had stayed safe and hidden in some high security camp whilst watching everybody else put their lives on the line?
He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. IMO some people are just never happy and need to find something to moan about.

It's not cut and dried that he has killed, only shot at. BBC:
On his role in Afghanistan, one journalist said: "You are the man with the trigger in your hand, and if called upon, you will fire, and presumably you have and you will kill the enemy?"
The prince responded: "Yeah, so lots of people have. The squadron's been out here. Everyone's fired a certain amount. Probably a little bit more than this time last year, to a certain extent, but that's just the way that its balanced out. Mainly due to weather, well whatever the reasons, I don't know.
"We fire when we have to, take a life to save a life, but essentially we're more of a deterrent than anything else."
He said missions to recover injured troops were a key role.
"Our job out here is to make sure the guys are safe on the ground.
"Now if that means shooting at someone who's shooting at them, then we'll do it."

So what's he supposed to go to Afghanistan and do as Captain Wales with a chopper? Cut wood for the camp barbecue? I hope he nailed a good few of the bastards.
Where was the gloating in that interview - you're just anti royal, Gromit, admit it, and you look to snipe away at them whenever you can. Not unless you were watching a version that none of the rest of us were.
