Harmless hijinks? Disgraceful behaviour or somewhere in between?

Personally, I've done a lot worse in my 20s and there are pictures to prove it. Fortunately, I'm not second in line to the throne.

How do you feel about these photos, in relation to his position?

Don't worry - the link won't throw up a screen fully of nuddy Harry shots. You would have to click on a link on the page for those.

It's a good job AB did not exist in Tudor England; the executioners would have been on permanent overtime.

It did mike, messages were sent by pigeon and AOG was regarded as a liberal.

bit of a shame because he had recently got back my respect after his 'nazi unform' debacle!

but count me in next time he plays ...

Get in the queue.

By the way - a brilliant quote from today's Evening Standard:

Dai Davies, ex-head of the Met's royal protection squad, said "The women were semi-naked and I'm not sure they were carrying any weapons of intent"

They might not have, but one can't assume the same of the Prince...

he's not my type, and way too young, but let him have his fun. Wonder if he will get back out to Afghanistan, that seems to be his wish.

What a fuss over nothing.

[emmie]

yes it is ^^

My answer is: "Who cares"? And the reason I say that is because these people like Harry are - no pun intended - like the 'spare pr*cks' of the Royal Family.

You can add Andrew and Edward to that list, they do not have a meaningful role in life because of this quaint system of ours which allows them on the one hand to supposedly be in with a chance of becoming King by putting them in a queue, but in the meantime what are you meant to do with them?

Their female equivalents would be the likes of Anne, her daughter, and the likes of Andrew's wastes of rations two daughters.

They are no different ultimately to any of the rest of us, and these pictures just prove it. But their lives of obscene privilege, which is rammed down our throats whether we like it or not, is the one thing which marks them out as unique in comparison.

The obsession with them which some people in this country have is as unbelievable as it is pathetic. HRH the Queen is the only one who comes out of it all with any credit because of the example she sets. The rest of them, though? They can go to Hell in a handcart for all the use they are to man or beast.

He's Simply being young. No harm done. Anyway I like the fact that the young royal princes seem
Like "normal" people.

[emmie]

your opinion, that is not necessarily held by many others, don't include Abers in that

[eyethenkyew]

Well, that's told you, evedawn, hasn't it?

I'm firmly in the harmless hijinks camp. I do think he made a bad judgement call on who he invited to his suite and I am surprised that his PSD weren't more on the ball.

[emmie]

eyethen

that was for you, as well you know.

Before slagging off the Royal Family it might be useful to learn the correct terminology and style.

"HRH the Queen!" Wash your mouth out! Even the most rabid republican is aware that the style and title of HRH is restricted to children of the sovereign and grandchildren through the male line. The style and title of the sovereign is HM!

em10,

Hang on, dear, I'm just getting my crystal ball out so that I can guess when an answer is aimed at me......wait....nope....it's a bit misted up just now....have to get the glass cleaner out......aaaaahhhhhhhh, that's better...I can see you now........yeurggghhhhhhhhh

[eyethenkyew]

mike5,

Were you addressing me by any chance, dear boy? Mmmmmhhhhh???

[askyourgran]

Harmless high jinks, but someone in the crowd must have made a packet from sellling those pictures. I expect Prince Harry is very embarrassed by it all now, and hopefully learns his lesson. I bet he would like to get his hands on the person who betrayed him. As for him 'obscenely privileged and his fame being rammed down your throat' I can only say, tough, you didn't make the silver spoon this time. Jealousy gets you no-where, try living in the limelight all the time and see how it feels.

[emmie]

because evedawns post crossed with mine, i was responding to your somewhat vitriolic comments.

[emmie]

next time will put the persons moniker.

[eyethenkyew]

Oh, come on em, stop trying to wriggle out of the horrible things you said to poor evedawn - she hasn't come back and she's probably bawling her eyes out at your cruel words? You naughty little minx!
