Subject: RE: BS: Prince Harry - What a star!
Nope. When he (stupidly) wore that uniform, egged on by his older brother, William, he was very young and a bit daft, despite an Eton education. William apologised humbly for being so stupid and thoughtless, as did Harry.

Loads of young lads do very stupid things when they're that age, Jim, things they'll cringe over when they're older. I've no doubt he wore it with the intention of taking the mickey out of the SS, when he got to the party, not going around making racist comments, but then...that would be looking at things from a different angle again.

The Sins of the fathers, (or the Duke of Windsor as then was) should not be visited upon the children. Heck, Chamberlain back then thought that Hitler was a very nice chappie...??!!!??

The whole argument here has been brought to a halt because, no matter how many people choose to decide in their own minds that Harry is a racist, the very person who knows him well and was the object of what Harry said, without malice, has stood up, said he's Harry's friend and that he was just fine about his nickname and that Harry is NOT a racist.

The End. (Again Again)
