It was a costume party

Its about time he learned that he has a hostile press determined to hound him because they would prefer a Supreme Soviet instead of a monarchy and parliament. No matter what he does, they will get him.

Personally, I would preferred it if he had come out and said that he'll wear whatever he damn well pleases to costume parties including next year's headless reporter costume.

Good tagline by the way. I have been rooting for the Bucs since they were showing off this guy:

Thank the Lord they ain't wearing that face any more.

Bump to that.

I think he and his handlers are idiots for not taking the press on. Everyone hates the media. It's an easy target for a guy like Harry, who looks pretty much dead on like the average kid. They missed their chance to say:

1) You don't like people dressed as Nazis, stop watching the History Channel and buying Producers tickets.

2) It's a costume party, you wingnuts!

But the royals worry about the whole media thing, largely because their entire existence is now a product of the media message that they're worth having around and it's worth considering their daily doings.

In reality, there's nothing more worthless and time wasting than watching TV coverage of Harry or reading People magazine (except perhaps CREATING the TV coverage or People Magazine Mindless entertainment. God help me, we love it so.

He hunted wild game in Africa. How is cleaning up after pigs supposed to teach him a lesson?

You don't get it,do you?

Mel Brooks,Zero,et al aren't ever going to be the King of England,now are they? And before you say that Harry won't be,one never knows.Look at what happened to his great grandfather and his Nazi loving brother.

It's NOT the cleaning the sty...it's his having to follow orders for a change,I think.

Harry has always been a spiteful,willful brat,doing whatever he wanted to and ignoring what he was told he should/shouldn't do.

If he goes back to the lifestyle that encouraged such brattiness, then shoving pig fecal matter will not amount to much.

If he does go to Sandringham,they'll knock some sense into him;maybe...if he lasts.

Of course,he didn't help his great Uncle Edward much.

Sandringham is one of the Queen's residences.

Perhaps you meant Sandhurst?

Yes,I did! That'll teach me to type replies while watching T.V. and not checking what I wrote. Automatic writing? No...typing using not even 1/2 my brain.

Thanks for pointing out an egregious error on my part.

In my early twenties, I once went to a Horror Night party dressed as a Vampire, but I don't think I will develop an insatiable desire to sink my fangs into unsuspecting victims in the future.

I don't think that what one wears to a fancy dress party at one time in one's life has anything to do with what political philosophy one may develop later in life. Fear encrusted prudes may think otherwise.

P.S. The Horror Party, called Cybergoth, I mentioned actually went down a hoot. Everyone had a great time. Dry ice and dangling spiders everywhere and a devilishly tasty Bloody Mary Punch was enjoyed by all.

Sandy places are great for golf courses.

You don't get it either,do you? *sigh*

If several people died (three,to be exact),would YOU ascend the throne of England?

Did all of the newspapers and T.V. stations around the world print picture you in your costume?

If they had,would all the churches in the world condemned you for being "evil"?

Do the British people pay for your lavish upkeep?

You,unlike the dimwitted princeling,at least went to the costume party in the kind of costume appropriate to its theme.Harry went to costume birthday party,whose theme was COLONIALS AND COLONISTS.He went as a Nazi soldier in the Afrika Corps.This had absolutely NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the specified theme and was not clever,funny,nor appropriate.Even the guests at the party were aghast at his costume.Far more than 1/2 of all British citizens are appalled and angry at what Harry did.And frankly,it's what they think that matters;not what YOU think.

And since it is well known,that his great grand uncle,the ex-King Edward the VIII was a Nazi symp and really liked Hitler,Harry's wee lapse in sense,means far more than you can comprehend;obviously.
