Good for him! Typical that some elements of the press go and p155 on his bonfire for the sake of selling a story. 
What 's the betting he'll get pulled out?
Any Journos lurking out there care to comment on the implications of breaking a 'D' notice?

As HM is still head of state in Aus, I wonder if the editor of that 'lifestyle' magazine will be doing features on 'Life in the Tower of London', 'Fashion tips for the Incarcerated' and the like?
Good for Cornet Wales.

TBH im not too surprised i thought they may do something along the lines of sending him somewhere on the QT, shame the press have 
it up for him but good on him for standing his ground and going out there to do his duty, from the interview i have seen he is liking being out of the lime light and being treated as near to normal a person as he can be. Wonder how man confirmed kills he has?

Hats off to Widow 67
Well done, sir!
It's a good answer to those who quite rightly slagged you off for some of the silliness you were involved in during earlier times.

Oh do keep up!
HRH Prince H has been serving as a JTAC in Helmand for the past few weeks (callsign reported as Widow 67).
The Brit media have known about it and kept schtum (how about some humble pie from those who routinely berate journos), but an Aussie magazine and a US magazine have blown the gaffe.
The UK MoD are now relaxed about reporting it, and ITV News has had little else.

Fair's fair.
UK journos have observed the D notice willingly and effectively, and that has been acknowledged by the senior brass.
It's an Aussie journo and a US website who've blown the gaffe.
Labelling all journos on that basis would be as stupid as labelling all members of the Forces on the basis of the poor, sad individual who has just been court martialled and jailed for firearms related 'walt-ery'.
And there's already a thread on this - Widow 67

When I say 'Journo' on my public profile under 'occupation', and routinely and regularly refer to being one, then yes, you can conclude that I'm a journo.....
