Sieg Harry!

So Harry has been photographed wearing a Nazi armband, and our champions of decency The Sun carried the picture. Two things spring to mind, one, that we should always be mindful of anything The Sun prints (remember the famous headline before the Euro 96 England vs. Germany match which to so many was a gross insult to the German people?) and two, the famous baiting of the French. What Harry did was a terrible insult to the victims of the holocaust, but really should we be surprised at the antics of someone so far removed from the real world? Harry has maintained that he meant no insult and issued a statement expressing his sorrow. I know they are pampered but surely he knows how to open his own mouth, or is there an aid to do that for him as well?

Would a visit to one of the former camps bring home the message to him? I doubt it very much; all we would get is an image of the caring prince. What however I would suggest is that he is sent a copy of Five Chimneys by Olga Lengyel, and the book is read to him at bedtime. Then he may begin to understand the evil the Jewish people and others went through. In the mean time, an admission that he was really sorry would do for a start, closely followed by an offer to resign along with the rest of this unnecessary, pampered section of society…
