In a just-released video, Prince Harry discusses serving in Afghanistan, the dangers troops face, how the Queen feels about his return home, sending letters to his father, press coverage of him, and what his mother, Princess Diana, would think.

Usmagazine.com reported on Prince Harry's emotional call to girlfriend Chelsy Davy before he left the troubled country.

"It was one of the happiest and emotional moments of her life," a source told Us. "She was in a state of ecstasy and tears. Honestly, the things she had been thinking in the hours running up to that moment. All she wants now is to see him again – it's been such a long time."

(In compliance with the Ministry of Defense, Us participated in a reporting embargo on Harry's deployment but the news was widely posted after an item on the Drudge Report.)
