Motorcycle Travel: Prince Harry's A Bad, Bad Biker
Biker face? Prince Harry poses for a silly picture at the starting line for Enduro Africa 2008 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa on Friday.
The third-in-line to the throne and her older brother Prince William rode in the charity motorcycle rally earlier this month. Riders commit to an 8-day trek in southeastern South Africa to raise money for UNICEF as well as Harry's Lesotho-based nonprofit Sentebale. Eat your heart out, McGregor!
The British press delayed their reports of the princes' race until this week, probably over security concerns (the same ones that kept Harry's deployment to Afghanistan unreported for nearly 3 months). "Enduro" is the generic term for any kind of off-road motorcycle rally in which racers are scheduled to arrive at checkpoints at a certain time instead of trying to beat others there.

Deployed Travel: Homebound Harry
Did that insidious force, "The Media," force the British army to pull England's Prince Harry out of Afghanistan? The second successor to the throne, after being rejected from an assignment in Iraq, had been with his regiment in Helmand province until some news sources, notably the Drudge Report, leaked the news that he was in Afghanistan.
Harry was scheduled to return to England in a few weeks, but the military was forced to withdraw him early over concerns for his safety.
Critics say the media was observing an informal but binding embargo of news on Harry's whereabouts. Defenders counter that all soldiers are in danger, whether or not they carry the last name Windsor. What's the most dangerous place you've ever traveled?

Celeb Travel: Leave Namibia Alone!
The last time Namibia was in the news, it was because of the invasion of Super World Travelers Brangelina, who chose the country for Angelina Jolie to give birth to daughter Shiloh. Now England's Prince Harry has pulled the spotlight to the African country, although not with such positive results.
Maybe the prince can undo the damage done by the party photos of his friends and himself in Namibia once he's closer to the throne. Like any 23-year-old with no job, HRH spent his holiday drinking, attaching shot glasses to his nipples and getting what looks like a wicked sunburn. In response to his performance, Jenna and Barbara Bush released a statement titled, "See, We Did This In Argentina But At Least We Didn't Make a Video."
