A girl aged 16 was rescued by Prince William after being swept out to sea trying to save her sister. Rescuers said her sister, aged 13, had been swept away on a riptide while body-boarding and the girl had swam out to help her. But she got into difficulties as she became exhausted and was close to drowning when she was winched to safety by an RAF rescue helicopter captained by Prince William. The RAF said it was one of its 'fastest and shortest' operations, taking 38 seconds to arrive at the scene at Silver Bay, Anglesey, north Wales.

True, Harry’s got a similar coloring of Diana’s brother, but regardless of the denials all around, he also resembles James Hewitt. At any rate, he’s the most interesting royal they have!

I believe so. We could certainly use some politicians like him in the states, instead of the nut-less wonders we currently have.

I totally agree... They may have socialism issues over there like us, but at least some with power over there still have some balls.

I think that was Prince Harry who did go to Afghanistan until some Aussie tabloid blew his cover and they rushed him out of there.

Either way, (either of them), they both seem to have come out to be good people. Sad for their {can't think of the English word.. on the tip of my tongue, but I've been in Japan too long :/} upbringing.. I am glad that GB still has SOME class within their ranks.


(Believe it or not, you WILL start to forget words in your native tongue if you stay out of country more than 2-3 years without contact (practice) with others of your same tongue :p)...

My two daughters would love to join you. They are addicted to anime and mangas.

I will give warning. No matter who comes here, nor how long they ‘want’ to stay.. It takes lots of patience... about 80% of those that come here thinking they will stay for at least 2 years, leave in 3-6 months :p

I, myself, love it here :)
