Prince Harry, third in line to the throne of England, insists he wants to go to war in Iraq, despite serious concerns for his personal safety.

Are we saying that service in Iraq or Afghanistan is any more dangerous for Harry than any other serviceman or woman?
Throne of the UK, you mean - there hasn't been a King/Queen of England since the Act of Union three centuries ago
Since that date the title King (or Queen) of England has been technically incorrect, though has remained in wide usage to the present day. The subsequent union with Ireland in 1801 was amended in 1922, and the current full name of the state is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
