From the Department of Duh:
Prince Harry has worked hard to transform his image from playboy to a modern royal serving Britain on the front line, but having naked pictures beamed around the world will not help his cause.
Ya think?
Now I have an image seared into my brain to replace the image of President Obama throwing a baseball. I’m grateful.
Who cares.
Spawned from that family, it’s a miracle the lad can function at all.
Were they thinking about making him the prime minister? I’m just glad he likes girls, seems to enjoy serving in the military, and appears on the surface to be the opposite of his seriously disfunctional father. Word is Harry got the highest rating in a tough heliopter pilot school run by the US military, so he can’t be an ignoramous.
Got a feeling that he is a popular guy with people of all ages in the UK.
He is a little flabby, should do some of Paul Ryan’s P90X, He has the genes to grow into a mini-Edward VII with a 48″ girth.
Why can’t he be both?
weo:
“Word is Harry got the highest rating in a tough heliopter pilot school run by the US military, so he can’t be an ignoramous.”
I worked with some British officers whose respect for him went well beyond the pro forma, loyal-subject kind. They felt he puts himself on the line in ways he doesn’t have to; that he has tried to take the same risks and bear the same burdens as any other junior officer.
I don’t know what they think of this Vegas silliness, but I imagine it’d be a shake of the head, and a wish for more maturity and discretion. I doubt it changes anything substantive.
Having known a few pilots, both fixed-wing and rotary, both attack and support, I’d say the only shaking of the head being done would be because he got caught. A young hotshot pilot getting drunk and skinny-dipping with girls? Perish the thought!
Besides, isn’t this sort of thing a time-honored tradition for royal 2nd sons?
what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
doesn’t it?
Not if you have the Paparazzi stalking you 24/7. To be a royal is to always be “on.”
