Prince Harry has already been prevented from serving with his unit in Afghanistan amid the fears that he would be a high-profile target and therefore increase the risk to himself and to his men. Prince Harry had trained with his troop, and was aghast to be told that he couldn't serve with them.

I believe that Prince Harry is as capable as any officer in the British Army, and I daresay that he won his award on merit alone. However, media interest will probably prevent him from ever deploying on dangerous operations.

Its also the same with Prince William. Just a brief look at his service history shows unique experience. Afterall, how many officers have served in the Royal Navy, the British Army and the Royal Air Force?
