(FILES) This file picture taken on June 18, 2009 shows Britain's Prince Harry (L) and his instructor arriving for a photocall at RAF (Royal Air Force) Shawbury near Shrewsbury, central England. Britain's Prince Harry has been given the green light to return to action in Afghanistan as an attack helicopter pilot, newspapers said Thursday June 16, 2011. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) refused to confirm the reports in The Sun and the Daily Mirror, while the prince's office said the claim was "hypothetical" because the prince had not yet completed his training on the Apache helicopter.
