Six in 10 believe Duke of Cambridge should be allowed to serve in Afghanistan A YouGov poll showed 60 per cent of people agreeing that the Duke, 30, should be able to fulfil his wish to fly helicopters in the war zone, with 28 per cent saying he should not, and 12 per cent undecided. The Duke, who will become a father this summer, has repeatedly stated his ambition to be allowed to serve in Afghanistan, and his brother, Prince Harry, said this week that he could see no reason why the Duke could not fly Chinook helicopters evacuating wounded soldiers. Prince Harry said his older brother was "jealous" of his war service, adding: "Obviously he'd love to be out here and I don't see why - to be honest with you I don't see why he couldn't. His job out here would be doing Chinook missions. Just the same as us; no one knows who's in the cockpit. Yes you get shot at but, you know, if the guys that are doing the same job as us are being shot at on the ground then I don't think there's anything wrong with us being shot at as well. People at home will have issues with that, but we're not special, the guys out there are. The Duke said two years ago that he had a "real determination" to serve on the front line and it was a "pity" he had not been able to put his training into action in combat. He is currently serving as an RAF Search and Rescue pilot, flying Sea Kings from RAF Valley in Anglesey. Meanwhile the same poll found that 82 per cent of the British public think it was right to allow Prince Harry to serve in Afghanistan, with only nine per cent thinking it was wrong and nine per cent undecided. The poll of 2,045 adults was carried out earlier this week, after Prince Harry left Afghanistan. Do you agree that the Duke of Cambridge should be allowed to fulfill his wish to fly helicopters in the war zone?
