Harry Blunders Big-Time
Prince Harry dressing up in a Nazi costume is the stupidest thing I have seen in a long time. I am furious that the prince is THAT insensitive. His grandmother the Queen has just spent time and effort visiting Germany barely two months previous to establish better understanding between the two nations. And to FINALLY, in the 21st century, lay to rest the Nazi joke that has been made of Germany. Yes, they had a horrible dictatorship at the time. Yes, Hitler was a bastard to the tenth power, but generations of politics and people have come and gone, and life begins anew.
Secondly, the Windsors had their named changed from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to disassociate themselves from German roots, because during WWI, the German government and the Kaiser were the evil doers. During WWII, Edward VIII was forced off the British throne because he and his brash wife were Hitler-loving Nazi supporters. The monarchy has not, and never will, put up with that kind of mindset.
The choice of costume is also displaying gross insensitivity for the victims of the Holocaust, the soldiers of his own country who gave their lives to defeat Nazism, and the Queen herself. Harry needs to sit down with someone and be directed. No spoiling, no pussy-footing around, no allowances for foolish or reckless behavior. Where were stern Scottish nannies like Claire Knight when he was little? Where is Charles now? The Prince of Wales may have been forced by the public’s irrational love for Diana to bow to her demands on everything. However, no matter what the public thinks of the “People’s Princess” and her offspring, Charles must put a firm hand in the situation and put this boy straight. The public will not castigate you for showing your son the right way to go.
Into the military he goes! No more parties, no more trips abroad, no more photography sessions in Africa. It stops here.
