He’s not American!!! That said, I think Harry just wanted to write off a trip to Hawaii by stating it was a “work” trip.
The Queen held military rank as colonel in chief of several regiments, and as such was entitled to the salute. If Harry were a serving officer, he would have been entitled to the say. But he isn’t.
Everything they do is calculated fodder for their PR.
Not in the U.S.
Yeah, that 8s true.
Why the scare quotes?

Yes, ever and always. And no doubt Netflix fixers helped with this stunt — see RummyChick’s #52.

I used to build those funny boats. Your stepson is in a good place-—semper fi
To me, the salute represents respect for our country, the country that got England out of a badly disintegrating situation in World War II. He’s thanking us on behalf of his country and acknowledging that they could not have won without us.
I’m a little taken aback by the disrespect shown on this thread for a British officer and Britain in general. They are still our cousins across the pond, and our greater strength in world affairs does not entitle us to show disrespect for other countries, especially those countries that nurtured the ancestors of our founders.
I think there are not enough people alive right now who remember the Second World War. We are playing with fire with World War III as if WWII is just a story from the history books. It’s still a forever bond that we fought and defeated a great enemy together. Or it should be.
If he hadn’t married an American floozie who is embarrassing us all, we probably wouldn’t be talking about it so much.
You would be hard pressed to find anyone supporting Prince Harry in England right now. Anti monarchists and race hustlers are fans.
Visiting “dignitary”. Inappropriate, but within regulations.
If you think we’re ‘disrespecting’ Harry, you ought to see what most Brits think of him. They’re appalled at the ingrate.
A lot of us resent this brat precisely because we DO respect Britain and its Monarchy.
KCIII underestimating Meghan. I am convinced that Lady Hussey incident was a set up.
King Charles and Prince William ‘are poised to respond robustly to any unjust claims’ in Harry and Meghan’s Netflix series when it drops later – but Palace thinks the show will be LOW on bombshells because ‘there’s not much more to say’
True. Until he married that woman, the RF was better able to keep in in order and present a better image of him. Since he took up with her, we see his true co!it’s and they aren’t pretty.
Well, I wasn’t there; but if it was a setup, Lady Hussey could have headed it off by just giving it up and commenting on the weather.
