Page 1 of 2  An Australian magazine has admitted it was "insensitive and irresponsible"
to print details of Prince Harry's military service in Afghanistan
just days after he arrived in Helmand Province at the start of what was
initially planned to be a three-month tour of duty before the news
blackout collapsed.However, New Idea magazine has once again re-iterated that it "did not knowingly breach any embargo and were not party to any agreement for a media blackout on the story." "However, and more importantly, we do acknowledge that our actions in publishing the story can be reasonably viewed as insensitive and irresponsible." 
"We sincerely apologise to all our readers, to the servicemen whose lives are at constant risk while serving at home and abroad and to their families and loved ones."
