 In December, 2009, 156 people died in a nightclub fire in Russia. January of 2009, 62 people in Bangkok, 2004, 194 deaths in Argentina, 2003, a nightclub fire killed 100 people in the U.S on Rhode Island. The latest addition to this list of deadly nightclub fires is past Saturday in Brazil.

The maximum capacity at the Kiss Nightclub in Santa Maria is 1000 people. On Saturday night, state officials say there were twice that many people inside the club. The overcrowding made it harder for people to escape after the fire broke out at around 2.am. More than 230 people were killed and more than 130 others had to go to the hospital. There was a pyrotechnic show, like a fireworks display going on inside the club, but authorities haven't said that it necessarily started the fire.

"Normal for me, I don't know what normal is anymore. I never really have done, you know, there are three parts of me, one is wearing the uniform, one being Prince Harry¹, and then the other one, which is sort of the private, behind closed doors, that kind of stuff,  but you know, there is nothing normal about we've been doing for the last four and a half months."

What he's been doing for the last four and a half month is serving in Afghanistan, that was Britain's Prince Harry. In the British military, he is a captain. Being a prince or princess might sound awesome². Some movies like to make it seem that way. But the reality of being royalty³ could be a lot more complicated. For example, how do you get privacy when you're a public figure.

They call this, VHR, very high readiness. It might look like down time, but the call to fly can come at anytime. It happened once in the middle of an interview.

"It wasn't done in the wrong way, but it was just..."

It wasn't just being able to do his job, but made Harry value his appointments to Afghanistan so highly, it was the simplicity⁴ of his life out here.

Prince Harry stayed in these simple containers when he was here in Combustion⁵. It's a far cry from the palaces he grew up in. It was while he was out here that Harry received news that his sister in law, the Duchess of Cambridge was expecting a baby.

"So, I'm expecting to be an uncle. It is very unfair they are forced to publicize it when they were, but that was just the meida for you, but I just only hope that she gets the necessary protection to allow her as a mother, mother to be, to enjoy the privacy that that comes with."

"It's too much light, that's the thing."

Harry's own privacy is clearly a concern for the Prince as well, and he made little attempts to hide it. 

"I never wanted you, guys, to be out here, but there was an agreement made to involve you out on the deal that you, that the meida didn't speculate before my deployment⁶, that's the only reason you guys are out here."

Back home, the media glare will inevitably⁷ be brighter, perhap Harry's main interest himself will be getting back out to the frontline as soon as he can.
