Well, I personally can understand the decision, and also seems like Prince Harry wanted to go to Iraq - which is good. He's not the pussy/thinking he's more valuable than others.
Either way; Down there he would be the ultimate target. If he - a royal, a symbol of England and UK - was taken hostage then the UK would be pretty fucked politically and emotionally.
If he came with them down there, he would not only risk himself, but also bring extra risk and attention to his company, as they would be a much more valuable target for their enemies. You would think that the army could keep his identity and position secret from their enemies, but these days that isn't very likely. They'd find out which area he was most likely to be found pretty quick. You don't want to give your enemies any specific targets. That could make a situation much harder.
