For mine it just shows who is running the media and what their agenda is all about...mud sticks and they know it

How you can go from an African korps Uniform to Nazi beggars belief
but typical of todays media...never let the facts get in the way of a sensational headline

Maybe next fancy dress part the prince should ask the public what would be appropriate....A Loyalist Paramilitary perhaps?

It may not seem a big deal to us---a bit of fun, just enjoying himself. But the furore it's caused abroad, and particularly in Germany, is amazing. We always try to make the Nazis seem comical because it's a way of coping with who they were and what they did, but on mainland Europe it's not a laughing matter.

The timing was way off, as well.

Unfortunately Harry the Halfwit has had a few run-ins with the gutter press, and is considered fair game by them. His brother is either a bit more media savvy or is willing to listen to advice; but this dreadful oik will be doing his bit for the tabloid newspaper sales for year to come.

Harry is fair game to the press cos they know he'll never have any power unlike his brother. A lot of the public royal lovers don't like Charlie and want Wills to be next king, which he will be at some point. Like it or lump it the king still holds a lot of influence in a lot of circles and if a tabloid fucked that up so early it would likely damage their sales, which is what all this bollocks is really about.
I'm now waiting for the headline ' Harry asks for black coffee shocker'

it's all shite

As I just found out firsthand for myself just a moment ago..never assume anything until you see it for yourself

I fail to see why anyone would pick such a get-up for a fancy dress party

I can only recall 2 times where the Nazis have been sent up in a genuinely funny way

The Blues Brothers had the Illinois Nazis and Mel Brooks had Hitler on Ice

I still believe the whole idea of the monarchy is an anachronism. I could just about cope with sweaty Betty, but her ghastly husband, ridiculous children and various assorted chinless kinfolk--nope.

The Royal Family is a tourist attraction,nothing else

Almost as popular as Disneyland on the tourism scales

If Harry had gone as a member of the royale family that would have been appropriate...much better to thumb your nose at your own subjects what?

There's a whole generation growing up to whom that stuff is just fancy dress and Hitler is as relevant as Genghis Khan.
