The British heirs to the throne, Prince William and Prince Harry are eager to join up with their commrades in front line combat roles.

Last year, Prince Harry did get 10 weeks of fighting in Afghanistan until the news embargo on his whereabouts was broken by US website TheDrudgeReport.com. He was then pulled from the field because it was determined that it would be too risky for him and his fellow troops while the Taliban put a price on capturing the third in line to the throne.

While Harry is anxiously awaiting being allowed to return, William has not had the opportunity to be on the battlefield and wants the chance to see active duty.

William, 26, who is currently training with the RAF to become a search and rescue pilot and hopes to become operational in 2010, said: ‘To me, I didn’t join the forces to be mollycoddled or treated any differently. As far as I am concerned, in my eyes, if Harry can do it, then I can do it.”

The royal brothers are currently sharing a bachelor pad near Royal Air Force base in Shawsbury where they are training: William continues to train for helicopter search and rescue and Harry is learning to fly a combat Lynx helicopter.
