Prince Harry is back in Britain on Saturday after his emergency withdrawal from Afghanistan where he spent ten weeks without the public knowing it.
The prince arrived at Royal Air Force (RAF) Brize Norton in Oxfordshire near noon time on an RAF troop transporter plane, Sky news reported.
The 23-year-old was greeted by his older brother William and his father Prince Charles who was proud and relieved at his safe return.
Harry, a member of the Household Cavalry, was flown out from Afghanistan on Friday night after news about his current deployment in Afghanistan's Helmand Province was leaked by foreign media.
He had been secretly fighting in southern Helmand for 10 weeks under a news blackout deal between the British media and the Ministry of Defense.
Harry's commanding officer said Harry had proved himself as a soldier but the decision to withdraw him was not made lightly.
The news was leaked on U.S. website the Drudge Report, which picked up the story from an on-line Australian women's magazine published on Jan. 15.
