Im being serious when i say this but he is obviously part of the royal family and is seen roaming nightclubs out and about just like any other person, and why not hey?
But the thing im saying is surely he is a target by terrorists? why has no one assassinated him yet with him being high status, i just find it strange that he is out and about and at risk of being killed.

Perhaps its a reflection of how few real terrorists there are :rolleyes:
There would probably be a huge backlash against the people that did it though - I'm sure I read somewhere that at one stage the IRA were thinking about having a go at taking out the Queen but they realised that they would not survive the resulting backlash
^this.
I'm fairly sure that a fundamentalist extremeist suicide bomber isn't going to worry too much about winning over the hearts and minds of middle England and if they had the chance they would blow Harry up into a myriad tiny pieces. Perhaps more relavant to the IRA but it's not going to bother some of todays terrorists is it?
When I say it would be good propaganda I didn't mean it would win people over to their way of thinking but that it would be symbolic of the terrorists ability to strike right at the very heart of the establishment of the UK. There isn't a much more potent symbol of Great Britain than a member of the imidiate royal family.
As somebody has said it could just be indicative of how very few terrorists there really are, especialy who are positioned so as to be able to cause mayhem and destruction on a large scale.
I thought he was in the army. How comes you're such an operational expert all of a sudden. Do you work for the secret services.
I think that's a little wishful thinking.

As are any of us for that matter, even if we never go near an Army camp.
Or a reality check - I don't think there has yet been any assassination attempt on anyone, royal or otherwise by our 'radical enemies'
Perhaps a bit of both.
I suspect they (terry) do a lot of talking but are not really very organised.
If I were a terrorist, I would lay loads of false trails to keep the police busy, while getting on with the main job.
Why do you say that?

b) The so called terrorist threat was hyped into existence for reasons I'm sure you're aware of.
Not quite bullshit, there is a risk however I fully agree the risk is way, way, way over exaggerated.
We were under far more risk from the IRA's activities back in the 70s,80s and early 90s. We are also under a far greater risk of dying in a car accident, or from normal everyday activities than from Islamic terrorism.
But then again, after the fall of Communism Western governments needed another bogeyman to keep us all scared, and to allow them to introduce tighter and tighter controls. Along came dem pesky Mooslems.
Yep, you're going to get nutters from all walks of life, it doesn't mean they're organised or have the capability to carry out acts of terrorism. The threat from the far right in parts of europe is likely to present greater risk.
Anyone that went to northern Ireland during the troubles or has been to Israel will tell you what happens when there is a real threat of terrorist attack.
They don't just put a load more CCTV cameras up and make you drink baby milk before you get on a plane to prove it's not a bomb.
