Young Harry. I don't see him as that soldier. I see him walking behind his mother's coffin, doing his utmost not to cry his heart out, and he got there. I see her throwing her arms tight around both her sons, in absolute joy at being reunited with them. I see Harry, William and Diana, always smiling.

Now he's plagued by the same vultures who, it cannot be denied, played a large part in his mother's death. Think how angry that must make him feel. Everywhere he goes, he's followed by them. He has never been allowed to grieve in peace. He and his brother have grown up with continuous 'theories' being written/made up about the Mum they both adored, mainly to sell papers.

So yes, Harry may get sozzled out of his brain now and then. Hell, wouldn't YOU? He may make stupid mistakes, same as many youngsters do. However, have any of you angry people in here, ever stopped spewing out your bile long enough to consider that perhaps, just PERHAPS Harry is even angrier than you?

Diana, as far as I'm concerned, did one helluva lot for the Royal Family, she made them 'human'. She was able to reach out to people, hug, touch, love them. Yes, I know that some find public emotion a bad thing, but never forget, the British people turned out in their hundreds of thousands to bid her farewell. It had never been seen before and what happened on that day, will never be seen again. It was truly extraordinary.

Yes she knew how to use the media, when it suited her, but who can blame her? She more than made up for that in the love she gave to so many people, of all backgrounds, people she was never afraid to sit on the floor with, invite round for tea, write thank-you letters to, call in to their homes and have a cuppa with etc. In my mind, she was quite an extraordinary woman, and this country is far poorer without her. She drew attention to many charities, to many things that were wrong with the world. She could have merely stayed at home with her feet up.

Yes, there are many 'wasters' in the Royal Family, but then there are many 'wasters' in all areas of society aren't there? Nowadays Diane has been replaced with Posh and Becks, as far as the media are concerned. Need I say more?

I've a strong feeling that 'come the day' neither of her sons will let her down. But give them a little more time. They've had a traumatic early life, as indeed have many, many other people, but they have never been allowed to see their mother rest in peace, never been allowed to just get on with their lives, having to endure so much under the microscope. Even to this very day the papers are still filled with yet more stories about their mother.

They are behaving no differently to many young people these days, it is the culture they have grown up in, sadly. Go into any city or town and you'll find so many of our young people drunk, vomiting and ill. You don't have to be a Prince of the Realm to join in. Maybe they're as unhappy as Harry, in this world that's ceased to care?

Yes, he still has a lot to learn, so did I at that age, but he's probably not so very different from my young lad, or yours. I'm sure he'd give every one of his grandmother's jewels to have his mother back again. There's a gaping hole there, which may never heal, but hopefully, the pain may become a little easier as he grows older. As as for Harry's Army 'Career' I'd rather he was studying the words of Martin Luther King Jr.

"Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."
