Prince Harry Kidnap Film Sparks Outrage in Britain

A new docu-drama depicting what would have happened if Prince Harry was kidnapped by Taliban forces in Afghanistan is causing uproar in Britain.

The royal served just 1 weeks on duty with the British Army in Afghanistan in 27 before news of his whereabouts leaked online and he returnedhome for security reasons.

Now an imaginary documentary, featuring a Harry lookalike, will air on British TV at the end of the month (Oct1).

It reportedly chronicles the prince's capture and mock execution.

The film, The Taking of Prince Harry, has sparked outrage in Britain with leading politicians calling the Channel 4 production "deeply distasteful" and "in incredible poor taste".

A spokesman for the British Army says, "The depiction, fictional or otherwise, of a member of the armed forces being taken hostage and mistreated is deeply distasteful".

According to news show Access Hollywood Live, royal family officials are holding crisis meetings to discuss the film, starring Sebastian Reid asHarry, and its implications.

A representative says, "Speculation about the security of Prince Harry,both as a serving member of the armed forces and as a senior member of the royal family is unhelpful".

A source close to the Prince tells The Daily Mirror, "He (Harry) was made aware of the film on Tuesday and you can imagine his reaction, he was furious".

Armed forces officials and senior royal aides are urging Channel 4 network bosses not to air the film, claiming the project will give terroristsa view of how the British government would operate if a prince was captured.

It's not the first time Channel 4 executives have come under attack fora fictional account of a 'what-if' scenario involving a leading world figure - in 26's Death of a President, they depicted what might have happened if former U.S. President George W.

Bush had been assassinated.
