Prince Harry: Good Egg, Bad Egg, Curate’s Egg
Prince Harry - A discussion…
LET’S have a heated debate!
And today’s subject, courtesy of the Daily McCann (formerly Daily Diana, formerly Daily Express) is… “ISN’T IT ABOUT TIME PRINCE HARRY STOPPED FEELING SORRY FOR HIMSELF?”
Yes, says Simon Edge. Harry is stupid, gullible and has a revolting circle of friends. “Those are not my words,” says Edge, “but those of Mark Boland, the royal PR advisor who massaged the public.”
Oh, sorry, there’s more…
“…massaged the public into acceptance of the Duchess of Cornwall.”
Anyway, Simon reckons Harry is a thoroughly bad egg, or “roistering yob” as he puts it.
Meanwhile Jenny Selway, in the pro-Harry corner, says much the same, making free use of phrases such as “obnoxious” and “Hooray Henry”.
But she thinks we should spare a thought for the misguided prince on the grounds that (a) he’s nice to kids in a caring charity work way, and (b) he is vulnerable and needs his mum.
According to Jenny, men in their late teens and early twenties “phone to ask the questions they’d feel too silly to ask anyone else, they phone to touch base, they phone to ask how to boil an egg. Who does Harry phone?”
Well, call us old-fashioned, but how many men over the age of ten phone their mothers for this kind of hand-holding?
As for the egg question, we suggest Harry phones his dad. Likely answer: “Ask the chap who squeezes your toothpaste onto the brush – he should be able to get cook to rustle you up an egg or two.”

Why should Harry be held to some impossibly high 1950’s-TV moral standard? Sure Harry goes out and has a drink, he likes to go clubbing along with THOUSANDS of other people his age. Harry goes to a club and it’s headline news, but no mention of the other 200 people who were at that club drinking, dancing, and chasing skirts.
Nearly every headline involving Harry or Will can be reduced to this -
“Normal Boy Does Normal Thing”
The only difference is that Harry and Will have a herd of money grubbing blood sucking paparazzi dogging their every move.
Personally, I say, give’m hell Harry.

Donald,
I take it you are not a UK poster?
You have taken my point about Diana’s boys in the wrong way completely: for instance if the grown up children of the Princess Royal were to be in Iraq and killed I think that may have been met with a quiet dignity. However,the sons of the late Princess seem at times to be more than national treasures, not because of their royal blood but because of their mother.
Incidentally the Royals had NO say in the matter of Iraq, it was solely down to one Tony Blair who is as far from Royal as can be, but perhaps as a royal screw up…
A far fairer system here (UK) would be National Service, this would HAVE to include the children of all,and perhaps cut down the eagerness of bloodshed.
But why are we discussing those killed in war as ‘children of parents’, most are grown up and people in their own right

Catherine,be reasonable ,can you imagine the uproar and outrage had Diana’s son(s) been allowed to go to war as a fighting soldier(s) and returned to this country in a bodybag (s)?
Catherine IS right. Most of the people left on this site today are Bore-ing with a capital B.
And to June Johnson’s point, yeah, I can imagine the impact and effect it would have on the public if the Royals arses were brought home in body bags - along with the First Twins Barbara and Jenna Bush. This would set the right example - lead by example - for the public to see. That is, what is good for the goose must be good for the gander and vice versa. How can they expect poor innocent middle and working class people having to sacrifice their lives if these royals won’t do it themselves?? See how quickly W will pull the US out of Iraq if his two moronic daughters were drafted to fight in the war - or the Royal Brats for that matter. I think people would have much more respect for our “leaders” today if they made some sacrifices of their own for a change. The elitist mentality has to go…….or respect is out the window.

HH (His Highness or Harry H.) is probably too openly heterosexual for Bollards and Faucets (ouch! Mark always considered himself a big one), taking after his father, who may not even like other men holding and squeezing things for him.

Harry is an ordinary chap…has friends he likes….does ordinary things like all the ordinary people do these days….wants though to go and fight for his country in Afghanistan, why should he not be allowed to go. Perhaps he is a Hewitt. Just look at what JH does with his life.
Glad Chelsy has seen the light and hopefully will have a good think about things. They are both too young to settle down obviously. Wish them well.

Maybe you should have a look at the Queen’s sons, compare their pictures with Philip, and ask yourself who their fathers are. Harry is a Spencer with Mountbatten eyes.
Gillian, are you a cynic? Is calling a young man a bastard what passes for cynicism in your weak mind? Or isn’t that just being a tiresome little arsewipe?
There are funny, smart people on this site. Just not on this thread.

Never looked at photos of both of them side-by-side then Ann ?
November 13th, 2007 at 8:18 pm
Would like to know where Kiwi gets the “Hewitt’s son” angle from !!
November 13th, 2007 at 8:17 pm
Harry…aka Hewitt’s son ….is doing no more than any other lad his age does / has done, but the fact that he is a Royal makes it fair game for the tabloids. He has his good side and his bad…who doesn’t ? but he has no future role in the monarchy, unlike William, so I hope he keeps up with following his Mother’s example of doing good with the underprivileged kids he loves so much. He’s a good kid essentially so let’s not start on him

oddly enough I am a Royalist, but they do need to sort themselves and move on from Edwardiana, especially from the Diana worship, who was not Royal, and I understand that Harry von he Witt is her son…..
Catherine,be reasonable ,can you imagine the uproar and outrage had Diana’s son(s) been allowed to go to war as a fighting soldier(s) and returned to this country in a bodybag (s)?
Brize Norton is a sad enough place with the sons and daughters of UK families being returned and they deserve honour for serving
November 13th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
It’s comments like those of Catherine that spoil this site…this is a place for cynics, not OK and Hello readers…
November 13th, 2007 at 5:04 pm
And Von He Witt is an excellent suggestion.
November 13th, 2007 at 5:03 pm
I think many people on here are both clever and funny.
November 13th, 2007 at 5:01 pm
Why is it that the nasty people on here are neither clever nor funny?
William and Harry could both be put to work at a stroke by the Queen. They are not because they would do to Charles what Diana did: show him up to be an unappetizing bore more concerned about the environment than the people who live in it. People would want William to be king, and Harry would remind people constantly of Diana.
So instead, they are left to rot on the vine with no purpose or direction. Put Harry to war as he trained for, or release him to work in Africa, both of which he has requested. Then you will not see him wasting his life in your tacky boites.
November 13th, 2007 at 4:52 pm
or the German version Von He Witt?
November 13th, 2007 at 4:42 pm
Would Prince Hewitt be in bad taste?
November 13th, 2007 at 2:41 pm
and just to make it worse have another called Harry, can we call the redhaired unable to boil an egg merchant something else?
November 13th, 2007 at 2:40 pm
Are we gonna feel sorry for Harry?
(please don’t call him Henry, Anorak, one of my fave dogs is called Henry, a real hard dog , he eats his eggs raw)
