I think it's sad if he has had to delete his facebook page

Firstly the Australian news media---in the interests and rights of the the public to know ---- ruined Harry doing his duty in Afghanistan, by publishing the fact he was serving a tour of duty there, why was it that the public should be told, surely Australia has better things to report, or is it just gutter press media,

Secondly Harry was pilloried for wearing an imitation Nazi unform at a PRIVATE fancy dress costume ball, the papparazi caught him and he was then hounded by those ponces that stand on the moral ground and shout about it, whereas they should have kept their mouthes well and truly shut.

Lastly, you have this debacle, someone taking a video on a private camera/ mobile phone to sell to the highest bidder, now that is truly disgusting.

Harry, by an accident of birth is a member of the Royal family, he is never likely to become the King, he is serving his country, expoiting his birthright in order that limbless soldiers etc benefit via charities, he is a young man, he has NOT betrayed anyone, he has not NOT brought thee Royal family disrepute, he is a young healthy well adjusted young man --- for goodness sake leave the lad alone.

Banjo The serving in Afghanistan was a joke. He may well have wanted to be a real soldier but in the circumstances, it was never going to happen. He is being completely unrealistic about his expectations. His presence also endangers other soldiers in his company and he should give some thought to that.

The Nazi uniform – it doesn't matter whether it was a private party or broadcast on national television, it was hardly a a good move. A brief understatement – Nazis were not nice and this country endured six years of war because of Nazism. Prince Harry is a member of the family that has the head of state of this country at its pinnacle. Tacky, tacky, tacky – and hugely inappropriate.

Of course, he might become king, although not massively likely – that's why he exists. William could be struck down by by some horrible disease (it happens) and Harry must step into his shoes. It's not like the royal family when Edward VIII decided to abdicate; there were the D of York who became King) plus the D of Gloucester and the D of Kent.

He is 27 years old and an arsehole, He brings both the royal family and the army into disrepute – but I have to admit I don't really care about either of them.

Just seen Prince Harry on the news presenting awards to disabled and sick children. I was not a Diana fan but she changed our expectations of royal participation at these events. She would be proud of him.
When I was at school during the fifties and sixties, I thought the Royal Family was a bunch of fuddy duddies. I wished they could be more like the Monaco Royals as they were so cool and trendy. Harry appeals to the younger generation today. He's not without his faults but when he gets it right he gets it right.

I wonder how many of us have actually worn corsets? I have a Tudor corset and an 18th century corset.Neither of these could I 'loosen' myself as they both do up at the back. If I have a bad back I will get my husband to help me put one on as they bring much relief.

Hunt Does Prince Harry wear corsets as well as an SS uniform?
