Prince Harry will be accompanied by a TV crew during his deployment with British forces in southern Iraq, according to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.

The 22-year-old prince, whose deployment is imminent, will be trailed by a Ministry of Defense camera crew, which will provide highlights of its videotape to TV networks, news agencies, and Web sites.

The Daily Mail quotes a former British official as saying the camera crew plan is "a bold move and a very positive piece of propaganda."

The former official warns, however, "If this goes wrong, it could back to haunt them."
