Prince Charles Visits British Troops In Afghanistan -- The Guardian
Prince Charles – commander-in-chief of 10 regiments – said he had wanted to visit Afghanistan for a long time.
Prince Charles flew out of Afghanistan today after becoming the most senior royal to visit British troops there. He received a briefing from General Stanley McChrystal, US commander of all foreign troops in the country.
During a two-day visit amid tight security, he was flown by Chinook helicopter to Lashkar Gar, capital of Helmand province, where he met local leaders, the governor, Gulab Mangal, and British soldiers at a patrol base surrounded by opium poppy and wheat fields. He then inspected a honour guard of the Afghan National Army.
