With defense chiefs insisting that Prince Harry has to step back from his royal duties to focus on the final stage of his Apache training, momentum is building to get Prince Harry back on the military front line.

And in the second part of his CBS interview with Seth Doane, screened this morning, Harry insisted it is only a matter of time before he is redeployed.Harry said, "All these people talking these stories of, 'Oh, he's been trained as Apache pilot, but he's never going to see active service, he's never going to get to the front line.' These people live in a in a ridiculous world to even think that.

"I mean we can't - especially our army nowadays - you can't train people and then not put them in into the position that they need, the role they need to play. For me personally, as I said, I want to serve my country. I've done it once, and I'm still in the army, I feel as though I should get the opportunity to do it again."
