EXCLUSIVE: Under fire with Harry the hero: American officer who fought the Taliban with the prince tells DailyMailTV how he was cool as a cucumber as missiles rained down – and refused to use his royal title
Colonel William Connor has revealed the secrets of life on the frontline with Prince Harry in 2007 and 2008, when the royal served in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan as a British cavalry officer during sustained fighting with anti-government forces. Col. Connor told DailyMailTV how he witnessed the Prince's coolness under fire, his good humor - and his discomfort with special treatment due to his royal status. Col. Connor said Harry, who was 24 years old at the time, 'put his life on the line and led by example'. Col Connor added: 'Clearly he was willing to die. He could have been in a safer position. He was not Prince Harry, he was just Harry'. Pictured: Prince Harry manning a 50mm machine gun 2008 (left), Col. Connor posing with the young royal in December of 2007 (right) and Col.
