‘Relief and Pride’ for Prince Charles as Prince Harry Returns Home
“Relief and pride”, “immense blessing”. These are the words used by Prince Charles when he welcomed his son Prince Harry from the frontlines of Afghanistan. The Prince of Wales also gave tribute to those who have served and are serving in the Armed Forces.
The Prince of Wales’ website has posted his comments thus:
“Along with many parents who have experienced the same sense of anxiety about their sons or daughters serving on operational deployments overseas, I feel a great sense of relief and pride on the day my son, Harry, returns home - albeit somewhat earlier than expected.
“That he is safe and sound is indeed an immense blessing.
“But I think particularly at this time of those whose loved ones may not have returned, or of those who have been terribly wounded during the course of their duties and about whom we hear so little.
“There is a real and often overlooked need to reflect upon the extraordinarily selfless, dedicated service given by all the members of our Armed Forces, so often in the most hazardous and dreadful of conditions.
“They, their families and loved ones, who give them such support and understanding, deserve our most wholehearted gratitude.”
