Re: Re: Re: Re: Prince Harry - have I missed something?
Just how high is your horse? [waits for response about me actually thinking you are on a horse.]
Acceptable purely because it was a FANCY DRESS PARTY. If it was a Royal Gala party, of course that may seem a trifle over the top, but please keep it in context.
Sensitivity of the issue is nothing to do with it. Lets not start comparing family notes of where everyone was in the 1940's. Fair to say everyone on this board would have had family involved, so I don't buy that at all.
The Laughing Bluebird said:If you HONESTLY believe that is acceptable for a member of the British Royal Family to be prancing around in a Nazi uniform in this day and age, then it is possible that you'll believe anything.
Perhaps I'm more sensitive to this issue than you because half of my adopted family are Jewish. Relatives of mine did die in concentration camps, and my grandparents virtually bankrupted themselves in order to pay for the safe passage of other members of our family into this country during the war.
History that may be, but it's certainly not ancient history.
Harry is not a Nazi sympathiser (at least not as far as we know), but his actions were irresponsible to say the very least. And, while the media has gone way over the top (as usual), it should come as no surprise to anyone that there has been an outcry, because he was bang out of order.
