Price Harry to go to Iraq after all.

Royal ginger cuckoo Prince Harry will serve in Iraq after all, it was revealed today by a spokesperson for the Ministry of Offence.

The highly valuable spare to Prince Charles' heir will lead a battalion of special forces troops into the badlands of Southern Iraq, in the virtual reality world, Second Life.

"Everyone feels this is the best solution," stated Prime Minister in-waiting Gordon Brown. "It prevents unnecessary royal claret spillage, whilst obviating the need for a terrifyingly embarrassing climb-down. I feel this decision is prudent and quite modern."

The military are believed to have invested in several hundred trillion Linden$-worth of equipment for Harry via a private finance initiative, including a jet-pack, extendible arms and a Lily Allen tattoo.
