Prince Harry Nice But Dim

[vernonk]

how wise is Prince Harry to admit publicly that he's killed Taliban? surely he's now going to need extra security....at the tax payers expense of course

[missnemesis]

Ill advised though it may have been Sandy it is still no measure of his intelligence :)

[ludwig]

// Not sure it should be something to gloat about though. Most ex-soldiers I know tend to quietly play down if they have killed people. //

Yes, and if you read the quote provded by zacs-master, that's exactly what he seems to be doing - quietly playing it down.

[sandyRoe]

Naomi, no. The seminary offered few opportunities for folly.

[Sqad]

Nice guy, fairly normal, but should have been advised to duck question re.killing Taliban.

I would have thought that the question was rhetiorical, him being in an attack helicopter

[Arksided]

Not some thing to gloat about, taking another persons life.

However he is an outspoken n0bhead like his Grandfather, I do like him for that.

[naomi24]

He didn't gloat.

sandyRoe, just like Mary Poppins .....

"Wearing a Nazi uniform and not giving a thought to the hurt that might cause to many of his grandmother's subjects is either 'dim' or arrogance writ large. "

shouldnt that have been in the jokes section

[AB Editor]

Seemed like a nice lad to me.

[bednobs]

the question is moot anyway - his tour has now finished, and the interviews weren't broadcast till he came back

[keyplus90]

Of course there are Taliban in video games now.

[Iluvspikey]

Well I think he's a smashing lad, serving his country not just playing at solidiers, he's made a few mistakes, but that what I like about him, he's learned from them and he'll carry on. Good luck to him!

[andy-hughes]

I would be inclined to encourage any serving personel to play down certain aspects of their jobs - I know that killing people is the remit of a professional soldier, but underlining it to the media helps no-one.

[starone]

I still cannot believe that he would be put in the line of fire. A prince of the royal blood? A prospective heir to the throne? Sorry don't believe it. He was probably surrounded on all sides by poor little sods looking after him. Now their lives were in danger - yes I would believe that!

[jackthehat]

How many people do you think fit in an Apache helicopter, starbuck?

[Baldric]

Takes after his dad,



whoever he is!

[jake-the-peg]

Nice but dim?.

Surely not how would anybody but our best and brightest get to occupy such an influential role?

Oh yes - right

[friedgreentomato]

Starbuckone - did you actually watch the interview? If you did then you would have seen him leave the interview in a hurry and run after his fellow soldiers to get off the ground - no on was looking after him!!

[ichkeria]

I just hope he remembered to put the right uniform on :-)

[LoftyLottie]

Nice, down to earth grounded bloke. I thought he came over very well and very normal in the interview, and certainly not in the least bit dim. Yes, he has done some silly things - haven't we all. And I firmly believe that he really is treated and treats himself too as one of the boys, and wouldn't welcome extra protection. He's his own man - good on him.

Andy-hughes, //I know that killing people is the remit of a professional soldier, but underlining it to the media helps no-one.//

I didn’t see that he was particularly underlining it to the media – and I don’t think it’s entirely accurate to say that killing people is the remit of a professional soldier.
