Prince William, second in line to the throne, has made a secret visit to Afghanistan. The news which broke at 22:30 local time [21:30 GMT] on the BBC, has been confirmed by Clarence House. The Prince is said to have spent three hours in the war zone and met troops on the ground. Sky News also reported the news at around the same time though the news has been known long enough to some journalists as the Daily Mail’s Wednesday edition is already devoting its front page to the story. Prince William’s visit to Kandahar comes only two days after an assassination attempt on President Karzai. His visit also coincides with a deadly suicide blast in the country which killed 18 people including 11 police officers [BBC].
