The British kicked out the Stuarts and brought in a Dutchman, William III, in 1688. Then when that line died out they brought in George I, a German prince of the House of Hannover.
I don't know how much all these ancestral connections influenced the prince's behavior. But all this reminds me of the great book and even greater movie, "The Remains of the Day."
Are you suggesting the swastika is NOT an symbol of evil?
Where does he think he is? On Broadway in a Mel Brooks musical?
All in all, one of the more disgusting comments seen on FR that reflects rather badly on you.
He could have masqueraded as his father and dressed as a tampon.
Back when I was in college, a Jewish friend of mine and I made up some politically incorrect costumes for Halloween. I dressed up as a Nazi with full length leather trench, combat boots, and brown shirt, and red armband. He dressed up as a poor ghetto Jew with some shabby clothing, yellow star, little fisherman's cap and battered suitcase. We had a grand old time chasing each other around the dormatory.
There'd be no point to this anecdote except that the next day in the cafeteria, I received a standing ovation from the table where all the middle-eastern students sat. Somehow I think they missed the point.
Are you saying that the 6 million Jews that Hitler murdered were a "protected species"? That is sick. It takes a poisoned soul to say something like that.

He is third in line to the crown. He should know better. And the Holocaust isn't that far removed from us, unlike Nero and Ghengis Khan. Can't you see the difference?
Makes you wish for retroactive birth control.
Osama bin Laden?
Heck, I have NO idea!

Seems this one inherited the stupid gene from dad.
And they wonder why they might be endanger of ending the Monarchy.
Great-Grandma you mean.
Sorry but that photo of Harry makes him look like Charles, not like the other guy.
treated his mother like dirt. """Well, mayber - - but diana had screws loose. Not unusual for European aristocrats - - all that inbreeding you know.
She seemed to have the typical problems of the wealthy and famous.
Substance abuse problems, sleeping around, not being logical and so on.
She was betrayed by the husband though. He is a creep.
Well, he is German.
