LONDON, April 23: Prince Harry is threatening to quit the British army if he is not allowed to join fellow soldiers in harm’s way, The Mail newspaper reported on Sunday.

“If I am not allowed to join my unit in a war zone, I will hand in my uniform,” he was quoted as telling senior officers before his passing-out from Sandhurst military academy, southwest of London, on April 12.
