Prince Harry: Call to Action Gives Me 'The Taste of Blood in My Mouth'

Those insensitive Prince Harry comments just keep coming.

Last night we had a BBC3 documentary called 'Frontline Afghanistan' in which the Prince said: "As soon as we get a shout, whatever it is, we all run to the aircraft, and at that point you have the taste of blood in your mouth."

Oh dear, dear, dear.

A spokesman for the Prince told the Telegraph he was "describing how he copes with the adrenalin of a call–out, so it's important to understand the context in which he was speaking".
