Because William, 41, was “heir to the throne, the risk is too great” for him to go to war. However, Harry the “Spare” brother was allowed to fight.
The late Queen Elizabeth said it was her grandkids Prince William and Prince Harry’s “duty” to fight in Afghanistan — because they took her “shilling.”, Ex-Army General Sir Mike Jackson alleged that the monarch “was very clear” in her words, saying: “My grandsons have taken my shilling, therefore they must do their duty.”
Mark Cann, who was the director of the British Forces Foundation, appeared on the show and gave more insight into William’s desire to go to combat.“But it was complex, and some very great minds and experienced people took a view on it,” Cann continued. In 2006, William enrolled in the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and completed its 44-week training course.
