The stuff on here would be better in the Daily Mirror. These 'insights' are similar to the crazy conspiracy theories of who killed Princess Diana - did MI6 really do it and surely we should be told? Whether MI6 would have done it or not turned out to be irrelevant - they did not have to as a drunken French driver in the pay of her idle layabout boyfriend's corrupt and decadent Egyptian father did the job for them. Similarly, you can argue whether or not Royal Princes would be unfairly helped through flying training or not, should the need arise. Boring as it is for the conspiracy theorists to accept, they have not had to as they have made it comfortably through under their own steam. As others have wisely said, no one would publicly speculate about their colleagues' ability on here - why do it with Prince Harry? He has proven himself to be a popular and capable officer who has won prizes for his ability. You can only hide a lack of ability for so long - if you hand out flying and gunnery prizes to someone who cannot fly a kite then someone, somewhere on one of his courses will let the cat out the bag. As that has not happened, I stand by the view that he is a competent guy who is serving his country in dangerous times - just as his Uncle did so willingly before him. If that were any other family in this country, we would applaud and admire it - I choose to do just that in Harry's case.
