Most of todays papers feature H getting in a spot of fisticuffs with the photographic nasties. Maybe there will need to be some aggression control training at RMAS!
I think P Company might well be just the place to get in the practice to floor the papparazzi - I thought that shoving the camera into the face of the photographer is a cunning move.

Harry should have no problems passing the Army Officer's course. It has recently been passed by a vicar. Mind you, the vicar is a GRANDMOTHER. Maybe his Uncle Edward should have another go at the military.

What a load of small minded weasels are on here. If young not-especially-bright Royal officers are a problem, they are certainly not a new one, as the 'problem' goes back hundreds of years.
Give the guy a break, get him into the Army and let him prove what he can do. His subsequent postings can surely make allowance for his assessed strengths and weaknesses.

Lets see, a dope-head that cheated in his exams and committed assault - just the kind of leadership we need
Chances of a Chav from a sink-estate being offered a commission with a similar track reccord?

Probably just one of the Duke of Windsor's old uniforms......
HH really does seem to be going off the rails rather - and a spell of old-fashioned army training would seem to be what's needed!

Maybe with his very average academic results and his recent behaviour, I would think there would be many other better qualified potential officers out there. Perhaps he should consider a couple of years in the ranks!!!!

Went to a party on Coltishall in the sixties and there were 2 SS uniforms there. Have things really changed that much?
I saw his granpa RHS in a Whirwind a couple of times in the fifties. Anyone know if he was any good?

If you can remember the 60's then you weren't there..
I also remember the fifties, bloody boring. 
Indeed! Most people that the 60s were all sex and drugs and rock 'n roll. Not so! The weird hippies didn't start until the 'Summer of Love', man, which was 1967, like OK? You dig? Before then it was pretty staid - the Mods and Rockers used to beat eachother up and I think that there were things called 'purple hearts' used by some. But all that LSD, cannabis crap came along in the mid to late 60s, although it was very rare outside large cities.
Harry-the-Hun Hewitt was a stupid pratt to dress up like a Nazi. And has said so. Little toe rag needs a good attitude adjustment - and to realise that no, he isn't the same as any other 20 year old! There are some things which the spare-to-the-heir simply should NOT do!

Harry the Nazi
He was at a PRIVATE party, wearing a joke uniform. All this commotion is over the top. It was probably not the best idea he has ever had, but having spent a number of years in the Mob I know that worse goes on behind closed doors.
The cries about him being insensitive in the run up to the 60th anniversary of the holocaust are a bit stupid as well - does it infer that if it had been the 59th anniversary it would have not been so bad?
He is a young lad, who needs to grow up.... Sandhurst will accelerate this process, as it, and Crabwell and Dartmouth have done with countless other young men and women over the year. He may not be a 'natural' leader, but how many of us were before going through the training? And how many of us are still lacking in real leadership qualities despite the training? He has passed the board, let him in and see how he does.
I am personally not a great fan of royals in the Forces - having known what Prince Andrew was, and is, still like, but they are all individuals and should be given a chance if they meet the criteria - as Edward proved, passing is not automatic, and fair play to the fella, he had the balls big enough to admit he was not up to it, depsite the fact he knew that it would be extensively covered in the press, by ignorant people who have never served before.

Suspicion breeds confidence
Speaking as someone who wore a Luftwaffe uniform to a particularly good BoB party at North Weald 20+ years ago, all I can say is "Who gives a t*ss what he wore". It was a private function, give him a break.
