London - Britain's Prince Harry on Saturday is to be met by his father Prince Charles and brother William in England upon his arrival from Afghanistan, the country's Ministry of Defence reported. The 23-year-old is set to land some time Saturday at a base in Brize Norton, west of London, after leaving Afghanistan by troop transport.

The prince was recalled from frontline service in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province following a "regrettable" leak of news about his presence there in the foreign media, the Defence Ministry said Friday.

The prince spent 10 weeks of an originally planned four-month tour of duty in Afghanistan.
