Horrors of homophones ping.
Knowing what that costume sympbolized and wrought, no its not just a f..g costume. There is NO way anyone with understanding of the holocuast would think it was "just a costume." I wonder how blacks would feel if someone wore a KKK "costume". If I was at that party, I would leave. I suppose there were no grandchildren of any holocuast survivors at that party. I wonder if there had been, if they thought it was "just a costume."
If I remember correctly, Rommel hated Hitler.
I think this is an interference run for Marc Thatcher's coup d'tat thing.
Agreed. If this were just some regular frat boy at a Halloween party, then I probably wouldn't give a hoot. I've seen worse.
But he's a royal. That comes with a bunch of privilege, and with it an expectation that he'll at least act the part.
They take the meaning of blue blood to a whole new level. What I really love is the fact that in WW1, out of some 20 nations of Europe, all the monarches were 1st Cousins. Gads!
It was a costume for cripes sake. Only Jews can dare make a joke using the swastika? Mel Brooks made millions doing it. Hogans Heroes was on TV for years making a lot of people very rich joking it up with Nazis. Hollywood movie makers have made millions and millions of dollars exploiting the holocaust and no one gives a damn. Spielberg gave a small percentage of his profits to the holocaust museum etc. but still makes millions from royalties from DVD sales. Harry wears a stupid arm band as a prop and everyone gets their over sensitive panties in a wad. It absolutely offends me that anyone is offended.
Do you know what that "costume" represents? He should have had better sense than to wear it.
But Rommel's wife was a born again Nazi. Hitler also made Rommel's career because he needed a young, dashing super star general to show up OKW (the German general staff)
Hmm... if someone dressed in a white sheet and carried a burning cross, maybe he could just say he was dressing as the "Holy Ghost" ....
Made up fantasy? I can believe that they know little of it, but to think it was made up is pure insanity.
Give the kid a break...I think next year he should dress as Che Guevara...he might get an award for it over in Euro weiner land.
He is a Prince and I guess because of the growing anti-semitism over there it could cause some hemmorhoids to pop.
I'm pretty sure he isn't a nazi sympathizer or anything of the sort...Another casualty of the totally too sensitive world. People wear Che Guevara shirts and people aren't appalled...
I guess the Prince should suck it up and play the game...
It's a matter of resonsibility. If he can't see why people would be offended then he is dumber than I thought. But I never thought he was that smart to begin with.
Look! The grail light at Castle Anthrax!
Hell, how about grandkids of any of the soldiers or any that survived the blitze? The kid is an idjit.
IIRC, the uniforms for all branches of the German military (wehrmacht, luftwaffe, and kriegsmarine) did *not* have the swastika armband (which I think was reserved for civilian party rallies and SA thugs).
If this is the case, then Harry was needlessly embellishing his already stupid choice of a costume.

'The problem we have in Europe and this country is that History is not being taught and what passes for History is PC drivel.'
In my bad English...You ain't the only one with that problem.
I don't think we are as bad, but we're a close second place.
I kid you not, I about fell out when I read some of those polls. Granted most of these polls were of the younger school and college crowd. Even over here I have seen polls and the kids here aren't learning any history here either.
