Prince Harry blasts Oz gossip mag over Afghanistan details

Prince Harry has reportedly blasted an Australian gossip magazine for revealing private details of his military involvement in Afghanistan.

Two years ago New Idea had published a report revealing that the Prince was fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan with the cavalry regiment the Blues and Royals, reports News.com.au.

This angered the royal, who fought hard for the chance to fight on the front line, but was forced to return home after just 10 weeks when the magazine leaked his location.

The Daily Star in London reported he launched a scathing attack on the Aussie press after he was asked about the situation in Afghanistan.

"I would love to go back to Afghanistan but the f***ing Aussie press ruined it for me," the Daily Star quoted the Prince as saying.

"It was awesome out there and I didn't want to leave early ... but I didn't have a choice."
