Diana very proud of Harrys Iraq tenure

Princess Dianas pal Rosa Monckton insists that the late Royal would be very proud of that her younger son Harry will be serving in Iraq.

London, May 4 : Princess Diana's pal Rosa Monckton insists that the late Royal would be 'very proud' of that her younger son Harry will be serving in Iraq.

Prince Harry's deployment in the war torn Middle-Eastern region has raised a lot of concern not only for his safety, but also for that of fellow soldiers who might face increased attacks due to his presence.

However Monckton, to whose daughter Domenica Diana was a godmother, believes that, despite the dangers, the Royal would have wanted her son to follow his dream.

"You can't put words into her mouth but I think she would be very proud of Harry's desire to go and serve his country," the Daily Express quoted Monckton, as saying.

She also praised the concert that Princes William and Harry are planning to mark their mother's tenth death anniversary with.

"I think the concert is a great thing to have in her memory. It's a wonderful event for the boys to be doing, they would have made her so proud," Monckton said.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that though Prince Harry will be deployed in Iraq, he will be sent to the country as late as possible and his presence would be kept a guarded secret.

The move to send him late is being contemplated so as to give his comrades enough time to assess the dangers posed by fanatical rebels who are planning to kill him.

The move would also give the troops in the Royal's unit - the Household Cavalry's A Squadron - the chance to be in a position and let them gain combat experience before his arrival.

And, the ploy also cuts the time when the Prince would be at risk, as he will almost certainly be one of the firsts of his unit to leave Iraq at the mission's end.
