Prince William aims for front line

Prince William, who is training to become a full-time military helicopter pilot, wants to fight in Afghanistan, News of the World says.

It said the 26-year-old unwittingly spoke to their reporter in a nightclub.

William also said Prince Harry was missing his ex-lover Chelsy Davy, while giving away no clues about whether he might marry his own girlfriend Kate Middleton.

"I'd love to do what Harry did out in Afghanistan," William was reported as saying. "That's why we train - because we want to be out there on the front line. I'm a bit jealous of him to be honest. Hopefully I'll get my turn."
