He has many minders,many guiders.The fault is to be spread on all the Royal family.If we talk about next in line his dad has not seen him for 6 weeks.If his mum was here it would never have happened.

He is 20 years old.
Why should him not seeing his dad for 6 weeks be a problem?

And there is no fault to be spread, unless wearing fancy dress costumes at fancy dress parties is illegal.

In some European countries it is illegal to buy, sell or display Nazi emblems (or even to look at them on the internet, or so I've heard!), so elsewhere it would be taken rather more seriously. But in Harry's case, few Britons would have given a monkey's if he wasn't a Royal. It's a classic example of people holding public figures' private lives to a higher standard than they hold their own, eg people get upset about an MP committing adultery.

The buggers want hanging if you ask me. String 'em up, swastikas or not, and let 'em choke while we burn the palaces!

Soon come the revolution brothers! 😀

Harry's generation has never felt the effects of the Nazi's. I know he has read about them in books, but I am sure it seems so distant that he may as well have been wearing a Rasputin costume. I don't think he meant to be insensitve.I t5hink he simply didn't think it out. After all, he is just a boy.

he (and his brother) were at a colonials and natives party- who has ever been to a colonials and natives party, might it not be seen in slightly bad taste, particularly when your ancestors were supposed heads of the colonial empire that killed 10s of millions of people.

A very strange one too, to not think of the consequences. His money, education, everything, is given to him on a silver platter by a country that lost hundreds of thousands in a war to preserve it's freedom, and preserve the cash reserves to pay for gererations of 'royal blood' like this 'boy'. And he just slaps all that in the face with some kind of post-modern 'get over it' costume idea. I say the commonwealth should take away his funds, give it to tsunami relief, and watch him sweat.

Is dressing up as cowboys and indians also bad, becuase I have done that in the past, and cowboys certainly killed a lot of indians.

All this is in a similar vein to: If you work for Coke, and go around bad mouthing Coke, Coke may well fire you. An individual not working for Coke may get away with it.

Prince Harry "works" for Britian - he should therefore uphold their beliefs.

It's all stupid and boring and irritating and I can't believe I'm even commenting, but this post has brought out a hesitant opinion from me.

The main culprit is not the Prince, but the media, though the Prince should have known better. Somebody is obviously not doing enough to educate England's finest in the ways of the world. Plus they didn't look after his mom and now she's toast. Blame blame blame...

He is not just a boy. He is 20 years old. And he's had access to the best schooling in the world and he does a dumbass thing like wearing a Nazi armband to a party, knowing very well that those pepperoni guys always follow him everywhere.

Anyway... sigh... more than enough has already been said on this subject. Let's just forget about it.
