Prince Harry in Hot Water

Prince Harry has made a legitimate effort to help children, but it turns out the money being spent is going mostly to the CEO, and other expenses. People reports:

After his return from combat in Afghanistan, Prince Harry has been enjoying the some African sun with girlfriend Chelsy Davy – but he’s taking heat of a different kind in the nearby country of Lesotho.

There, in 2006, with the tiny kingdom’s Prince Seeiso, Harry founded a charity called Sentebale to help orphans. But Sentebale’s newly released financial records show that for the first 17 months there were $2.2 million in donations – with only just 7.5 per cent going directly to children in need.

The charity spent nearly $1 million on start-up costs and pricey vehicles, plus $180,000 on the CEO’s salary and private schooling for his children abroad. "Where’s The Money for Orphans, Harry?" queried one British newspaper headline.

Harry’s courtiers counter that the funds were spent on hiring "first-class staff," and that significantly more money will soon flow to Lesotho’s orphans. "The last thing Prince Harry wanted was for the charity to distribute money fast without proper safeguards," says a Palace source.

Co-founder Prince Seeiso also tells PEOPLE, "We told ourselves we would not dish out money willy-nilly unless the structures are in place. Every dollar sent to an institution should be accounted for."

Since when does the CEO of a charity deserve a $180,000 salary? It’s a charity, not a stepping stone to a bigger and better career. Charities also need to spend as much of the money as they can to help kids, not try to spend most of the money trying to manage the money. This organization has its priorities backwards.

Prince Harry is Prince of the People

prince harry speaks Prince Harry is Prince of the People

When Prince Harry returned from Afghanistan he said:

"Don’t call me a hero, those are the heroes. One had lost two limbs—a left arm and a right leg—and another guy who was saved by his mate’s body being in the way but took shrapnel to the neck. Both were out cold throughout the whole of the flight."

"Those are the heroes. Those were guys who had been blown up by a mine that they had no idea about, serving their country, doing a normal patrol. I wouldn’t say I’m a hero. I’m no more a hero than anyone else. If you think about it there are thousands and thousands of troops out there."

Harry had returned with troops who had suffered terrible injuries fighting to keep the Muslim people in Afghanistan free from the Taliban, a Muslim extremist group. Harry is humble, and can relate to commoners. Just like his mother.

Prince Harry returned home from Afghanistan looking sun burned, and disappointed. Prince Charles said:

"As you can imagine it’s obviously a great relief as far as I’m concerned to see him home in one piece. I’ve been incredibly proud of Harry and I promise you … equally proud of all the dedicated service given by all our armed forces."

Before leaving Afghanistan, Prince Harry made an emotional call to girlfriend Chelsy Davy. "It was one of the happiest and emotional moments of her life," a source said. "She was in a state of ecstasy and tears."

Harry was in Afghanistan for 10 weeks, but his trip was cut short after media around the world reported his location. The troops with Harry were in greater jeopardy than Harry, since they were responsible for his safety while he was in Afghanistan.

Prince Harry Pulled Out Too Soon

prince harry Prince Harry Pulled Out Too Soon

Prince Harry was pulled from his "secret mission" in Afghanistan due to world wide news coverage of his location. The Ministry of Defense confirmed made this statement:

"Following a detailed assessment of the risks by the operational chain of command, the decision has been taken … to withdraw Prince Harry from Afghanistan immediately. This decision has been taken primarily on the basis that the worldwide media coverage of Prince Harry in Afghanistan could impact on the security of those who are deployed there, as well as the risks to him as an individual soldier."

Prince Harry was disappointed his duty was cut short. He didn’t even get a chance to take out any Taliban. It’s surprising Harry is being given so much credit, when he never even got this hands or uniform dirty. If it were up to Harry he could have gone in by himself, and cleaned up Afghanistan single handedly, just like his military equals, Rambo, and Chuck Norris, would have done.

Prince Harry is Doing His Duty

prince harry Prince Harry is Doing His Duty

Prince Harry is currently in Afghanistan with the British forces fighting the Taliban, and has been there since December. The British Army isn’t happy this is being reported, and they blame "foreign websites" for leaking the information. The HBIC of the British Army said:

“I am very disappointed that foreign websites have decided to run this story without consulting us. This is in stark contrast to the highly responsible attitude that the whole of the UK print and broadcast media, along with a small number of overseas, who have entered into an understanding with us over the coverage of Prince Harry on operations. After a lengthy period of discussion between the MoD and the editors of regional, national and international media, the editors took the commendable attitude to restrain their coverage."

The information was reported by The Sun in the UK first. Maybe the British Army should work on their intelligence before pointing fingers.
