Harry’s dilemma

"Only for the assistance from the USA from 1939 to 1945 this country would have been an entirely different place."
Somebody needs to crack open a history book. The USA didn't enter WW2 until December 1941.

Yes not until Japan attacked Pearl Harbour in in December 1941.
Japan had, however, signed an Tripartite Agreement with Nazi Germany and Italy in 1940 and had attacked its neighbours before then.

No Bluebelle, Harry is an ex soldier, he will ‘rim’ the tea cup, which is very rude, but completely appropriate for that Orange Bully. Ask any service man to explain.

And may be Harry should put his royal duty first as does the Queen regardless of his personal feelings Neilspurgeon

Ask any service man to explain.
He doesn't know, sorry
Could you explain please

So .. did Harry show up?

Yes, he accompanied Trumps family

I would love to know why Neilspurgeon0 considers Harry to be an "orange bully*. So long as the explanation doesn't land the poster in the Tower. Or even if it does

Ah. Neilspurgeon0 might have been talking about Trump.

Well how was I to know?

I'm happy he showed up-

Callistemon I have looked up that other thing. You really don't want to know.

Gonegirl I will not look it up - it must be an Army thing!
The representative I asked from the Senior Service had no idea

I can't see Harry licking the ar-e sucking up to anyone actually. Why should he? Would think he's got too much self respect for that.

Oops! Don't read that post Callistemon.

It's not an army thing. I have heard it discussed on Mumsnet before now.

Oh, is that what it means?
I've heard worse , just not that expression!

harrys hould make sure theirs some arsenic handy..lol...sugar frosting on the cakes.....

I'll bet Harry could contain himself seeing as the wine being served was £9360 A BOTTLE .....are we happy about that taxpayers ?

Don’t be silly. .

Where was the cost of the wine given ?

For the toasts they used a much more affordable beverage, raising a glass of sparkling Windsor Great Park 2014, which will only set you back £34.99 a bottle
Daily Mirror.

I read that the wine was £1400 a bottle (daily mail) which is bad enough. Still if it’s true, her maj can afford it she will just have to have a freezer week next week.

Oh dear I stand corrected . £9360 a bottle it appears to be ! Definitely a feeezer week or a make do week for her maj .

nineteen wine butlers were on hand to fill glasses with a range of wine, including Château Lafite Rothschild 1990, which is sold for up to £1,400 a bottle - the average monthly wage in the UK

I agree, bad enough, but why exaggerate?

I have now read two conflicting prices ?

Both of which are absolutely obscene. But hey nothing but the best in her maj’s wine cellars eh?

“one of which was a Lafite Rosthchilde 1990 which, according to Wine Searcher, has an average retail price of £9,360, per bottle”
