Harry

It was a really, really stupid question. Or else deliberately provocative. What was he going to answer?

He would have been wasting his time if he actually got on target once or twice!

I wish I'd seen this programme. Is it going to be repeated?

It was a homecoming interview they did in Afghanistan when he'd just done his last fly. On the news. The newspapers seem to have most of it on videos. But only a section at a time.

there's this on bbc Must have been part of it.

Can you see that link? I can't hardly see it.

some more here (scroll down for two vids)

Doesn't anyone else feel that its unecessarily provocative to come right out and say it? Isn't it making himself more of a target to terrorists? It would of been better had they not asked that question...

I don't think he can be blamed for answering the question. He's in a no win situation. He couldn't be rude or dismissive because then that would have been the main story. He's a soldier. It can't really be a shock to anyone!

Rather stupid of him to say that being an Appache helicopter pilot is a joy because he enjoys Xbox and Playstation.

He's not very bright.

Riverwalk Intelligence is not the defining characteristic of the royal family.

Whatever he said he will be criticised, damned if you do and damned if you don't, springs to mind!
Sounds like he was expected to give an interview at the end of his Tour, according to TV last night. Why should he?

According to the BBC news at lunchtime, the interview is available on i-Player.

As I understand it he had an agreement with the media that he would give an interview at the end of his tour in return for them leaving him alone whilst he was there.

It is sickening that anyone is put in a position where they are obliged to kill - let alone these young people. Harry has always come across as immature. I doubt he has any idea of the implications of what he says.

I have always found it disturbing that there is a tradition of joining the armed services among royals - being part of the armed forces is by definition a political act. They should be outside this.

I think he is far from not being bright,he has passed all training for the very dangerous job that he does and he does it well.He is a valuable member to his collegues who treat him the same as everyone else,lets hope the media leave him alone and let him be treated the same as all the other brave men and women who have just completed their tour of duty.

Harry is a soldier and does what he's trained to do. He's not the brightest button in the box but then neither was his mother. At least he doesn't pretend to be something he's not. He's a Hurray Henry in civvy street and a soldier when on duty.

Well, I think games on playstation, Xbox and the like is probably very good for developing hand-eye co-ordination. And I guess you would need that when sitting in the gunner seat of an Apache helicopter.

So, I think it was a very reasonable thing to say. #startsomewhere

And how many "brightest buttons in the box" are on here then?

No Mishap. Much better idea to welcome the terrorists into the lives of our children and grandchildren with open arms. The very thought of killing some of them!

And I very much doubt that he is thick.

Agree with glamma.

Once upon a time, I had nothing good to say about this young man, now, happily, it`s quite the opposite. He may still be a bit of a Hooray Henry when off duty, but he has matured no end in the last couple of years.

numberplease He's recently had his twenty-ninth birthday. It's not unreasonable to expect some signs of emerging maturity by now.

FGS! twentynine isn't that old?! Give the kids a chance!
