Prince William made secret trip to Afghanistan
LONDON — Prince William, second in line to the British throne, paid a secret visit to Afghanistan to meet front-line British troops, his office said on Wednesday. A spokesman said the 25-year-old prince, recently awarded his Royal Air Force wings after a training course, flew a military transport plane for part of the journey to Kandahar.
He spent three hours with British service personnel at the airfield before returning home, the spokesman said.
The trip made headlines in British newspapers on Wednesday but sparked questions about whether it was simply a public relations exercise. William was criticized recently for flying military Chinook helicopters to a bachelor party for his cousin and to his girlfriend Kate Middleton's family home.

The Royals are always being criticized.
They can hardly do anything right. Especially Di's boys should be left in peace. So what, if they play a little prank? Can't they be normal? Of course it makes sense to protect them, otherwise they would be instant targets. I'm sure Grandma is proud of them and their achievements, despite the public eye constantly on them.
