Prince Harry The Nazi: Sorry
2005-01-12
Winds are picking up dramatically in the teapot...
BRITAIN'S Prince Harry has apologised after he was pictured at a fancy dress party wearing a Nazi soldier's uniform. The 20-year-old, who is third in line to the throne, is pictured on the front page of Britain's The Sun newspaper in the beige uniform wearing a red armband emblazoned with a swastika. In a statement, Harry said: "I am very sorry if I caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone. It was a poor choice of costume and I apologise." Harry is the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II and the second son of the Prince of Wales, Charles, and Diana. The Prince was to don a uniform of a different kind next week when he was due to enrol at Sandhurst military college. His entry to the prestigious royal military academy has been delayed six months, however, to allow him to recover from a knee injury. It is not the first time the flame-haired royal has made the news for all the wrong reasons. Last October he was involved in a scuffle with a photographer outside a London nightclub and in 2003 he caught smoking cannabis in pub near his father's estate at Highgrove.

#3  I was joking.

The Royals have plenty of German blood.

Someone should mind him better.

#2  Are you serious SPOD? If the Sun revealed that Harry likes to wear a tutu while serving tea to some intimate friends, that would be an intrusion.
This was a semi-public event and, to say the least, the Nazi outfit has powerful historical and political connotations in terms of Harry's position in British society.
This is doubly so when we recall that Harry's father is a morally retarded nutcake with Arabist and antisemitic leanings and his mother was about to marry a wealthy Arab.
Incidentally, it is quite shocking that his bodyguards, if noone else, allowed him to be seen in public like this.
