are they going to lambast the agency who loans out these costumes?
Or maybe the "sick barstewards" whom make them???

I would like to defend him by saying at least he is German, like his brother
But he probably isn't

He continuously behaves like an idiot and should take a long hard look at himself. I know he's only young but if he can't/doesn't want to behave in a dignified way in keeping with his position as a Prince of the Realm then he should renounce his title. Why in this day and age we continue to have a monarchy is beyond me anyway Position and privilege based on nothing but family of birth in the 21st century Viva la Republic!

Because they make the UK a considerable amount of money.

I've been thinking more and more about this and to be honest it just seems like a total over reaction to me.
Beware the Daily Mail today, god only knows what they're going to be saying about the whole story

I find it amusing the Tory leader is having a pop at the royals to try and jump on the bandwagon
Either he has got balls of steel or he knows he doesn;t have a hope at the next election

was watching question time last night and Armando Iannucci made a great point... by him wearing that shirt he's made loads of kids aware of the holocaust who probably knew nothing about it before...
personally it's all over blown and people continue to want a monarchy then you'll always get stories about them being stupid and ballsing up.... history is full of it.

For f**ks sake, it was just a very poor choice of shirt on Harry's part, he was probably already p**sed when he put it on, it was bad taste and obviously Harry didnt think the press were going to catch him out at this party, but they did! He wont do it again but then again he's a rebel! Someone in the Royal Family has to be a 'rebel' and at the moment it just happens to be Harry, I'm sure his mum would still have been proud of him.
People seem to forget the work he's done in Africa last year, and most recently with the Red Cross (I think) with his brother for the Tsuami appeal, people like to forget these things.

people used to think it was hilarious when freddie star dressed up in his nazi get up, halllo hallo had germans parading about in occupied france,so is this just a royal bashing exercise or has peoples tolerance now growing thinner?

Its a fancy dress costume. Thats all. Its not condoning the holocaust, hitler/the 3rd reich/anti-semetism. I'm sure there are better things to worry about. I can see where you're coming from- and, let's face it- Harry isn't the brightest light on the Christmas tree- as someone else said, he'd make nice-but-dim look like Stephen Hawking. BUT- we're talking about a uniform- and a badge, that represents a regime of mass-murderers. Would anyone go to a Fancy Dress party dressed as Stuart Sutcliffe or Fred West? Or even a Dictator like Mugabe? Just a thought.

No but people go dressed as Roman Emperers (sp), and other such uniforms.....
People dress up as Adolf Hitler all the time with the tash and uniform (there are normally at least a couple at parties) I just dont see the difference.

As a young royal though surely he has some security/advisors/drivers that would have seen him before he went out and said something?
Still I cant belive that kids arent being taught about the hollocaust and the true symbolism of a swasticker but this was highlighted at work a couple of weeks ago when three 15 year olds scrawled over 100 of these symbols over the back of our building along with phrases like 'BNP are bubblin'

i can't help but think he's been a bit of a dick.
you can argue that you've seen mr robinson from the corner shop at a fancy dress party dressed as hitler or hess but that doesn't mean a thing.
mr robinson isnt one of the most famous people in the country, isn't 3rd in line for the throne and isnt a person that the media are waiting to crucify for doing something stupid.
boils down to commonsense.

I cant help but feel he has been stitched up by cetain members of the press following that scuffle with the Photographer that time.The Headline in the papers around the world is Harry is a Nazi.When did he join any facist party?. remember a uniform does not kill people,the animal inside does.. Probably the most sensible thing posted on this thread. And of course it isn't at all offensive to question somebody's parentage when roundign on him for wearing an offensive fancy dress costume. Everybody having a go by implying he's a b*stard (where's your proof?) is being just as offensive and callously thoughtless. Shame

I have not said much this week But the lads a prick with no sence and proabley inflated ego. Dianas son or not he needs to sort him self out and stop before he starts turing into Prince Edward Being young an rich is no excuse I guess he is the sort of person if many of us met we would take an almost istant dislike too. Also this is another good example of why Fancy Dress is a monumentally bad idea!!

And it's fairly obvious he's a love child. So there.

I can see both points of view but the papers demanding Harry should apologises to the nation via TV is unjustified.
The majority accept Harry's apology- a slap on the wrists and don't do it again type scenario but the papers are making meal of it and it just shows how determind the papers can be in trying to influence our thoughts even though the readership disagrees with it's point of view.

harry is a 20 year lad, just because hes 3rd in line to throne doesnt make him any different to us.(except he has money and is 3rd i line to the throne! they r the only differences!!!!) he has been a bit of a rebel recently, and the majority of people his age are!just because he is in the royal family etc etc doesnt make him immune from having the same mind and emotions or whatever, from any other 20 year old! i think people should just leave him be, yea hes "caused the Royal family more embaressment" ( ) but its not the first time, and i doubt it will be the last!!!!! i remember the work he did in africa, i remember watching it, and although all this nazi stuff has blown up over here, he is still the same person that went to africa to help people etc.....like someone else said why dont people remember that!! i spose bad news always makes a "good read" etc. but hes said sorry, why make him apologise again, no need for it! so his actions were out of order, but i mean he didnt mean for any real offence! all the stuff about how he shouldnt be allowed 2 join the military or wotever it was,is aloada sh!te as well! 1 fancy dress mistake and his whole actions in life are being questioned! no need

I'm not offended (although some people might be) but I am amazed at his lack of common sense. Duh - Harry
Yet again this shows that the Royals are simply humans like the rest of us and for that reason flawed individuals. Can anyone give me one reason why we are supposed to look up to them or continue to give our taxes to them?

If any other kid his age did it I'd just think "What a dick" and hope Class War caught him on his way home and kicked some sense into him. But as he's one of the most privileged people in the country I figure he must take a proportionate share of responsibility? Which means put the pillock up against the wall, I s'pose. "Arise ye starvelings out of slumber,..."
