Article: Prince Harry returns to UK after 10-week deployment in Afghanistan

Prince Harry returned to Britain on Saturday after his secret deployment with the military in Afghanistan was cut short after 10 weeks by disclosures in the media.

His father, Prince Charles, and brother, Prince William, greeted him at Brize Norton air base in Oxfordshire, southern England, before they left together in a silver saloon.

Harry, a cornet _ or second lieutenant _ arrived at the base in a Royal Air Force troop carrier with about 170 other soldiers.

"As you can imagine it's obviously a great relief as far as I'm concerned to see him home in one piece," Prince Charles said before leaving the air base. "I'm enormously proud of what he has done."
