Subject: RE: BS: Prince Harry - What a star!
No, I don't know him, Al, but...neither do you.

I give people the benefit of the doubt though, and refuse to judge them on what a sleazy news rag has written about them in the hope to stir up a hornet's nest of hatred against him and his family. As I said, they've failed, miserably and have been shown up for the complete sleazy types they are.

I've met quite a few of the 'aristocracy' if you want to call them that, when I worked in Harley St. Some were 'orrible little snobs, who got short shrift from me, but some were the most charming and humble people. I also met 'the peasants' as you'd call them, and again, some were people I'd not want to give house room to, and some were the most lovely of folk.

Prince or Pauper, it matters not. What matters is the person inside.

Harry's 'inside' is still forming. He's still a young man, and still learning. He's had a bad start in life, despite being a Prince, and I've no doubt at all that he'd give up every single penny he has, every jewel, every posh suit, every polo pony, every dolly bird, if he could have his mother back.

He and William have not only had to live with losing their mother in such distressing circumstances, but they've had to live with the constant nastiness of the press, bringing her out every year, slagging her off, trashing her, telling terrible lies, sensationalising eveything, just to sell their rotten papers...They've had to endure people writing books about her, making money out of her in every way.

They've had enough.

For God's sake, can't they be left alone, to live their lives now?

Even if they retired from being 'royal' they'd NEVER be left alone, because they're Diana's sons, and will be hounded by the very b*stards who hounded their mother, until the day the both die.

Geez! They almost had Dodi Al-Fayed as a stepfather, and were seen spending happy days with he and Diana shortly before they both died...Racist? Oh come ON!

Titles don't impress me one bit, people impress me...and to be honest, if I were Harry, and I'd had to endure the shite that had been written about a mother I loved, I'd probably have gone completely off the rails and told the whole world to foooook OFF by now..and I think most of us would.

He's a human being, same as you or me..and he feels things the same as you or I, I'd imagine. The fact he's a prince is NOT his fault. And to judge him for that alone is wrong. He's no different from many other kids these days, who are a bit slow on understanding what is and is not acceptable in life, because there's a huge 'in yer face' attitude these days, that cuts right through every level of rich or poor. An Eton education is little different from anywhere else these days, because kids want to party, party, party, and not learn, learn, learn. The intense pressure poured down on young people to live their lives in a certain way to achieve, achieve, achieve by the time they're 17 touches them all, be they from the local comp, or the local Eton. Kids have a whole lifetime to achieve...we all take time to become who we are meant to be. Once we were all given time, now 'time' is marked on a form and ticked in a box, year by year by year.

I've no doubt, that if Harry were defending you in a warzone, then he'd put his life at risk to save you, or anyone else, without a second thought, along with all his mates, who'd give their lives for each other and for us.

Surely it's time to leave him alone.
