Actually, I'm beginning to think the *only* thing he did wrong was not
to realise the trouble he was going to cause himself and his family in
the event of being photographed like that.

Don't people regularly go to costume parties dressed as monsters?  I'm
partly of Slovak descent; if I saw someone dressed up as Stalin, I'd
think Stalin deserved to be made fun of that way.  I'm Catholic; if I
saw someone dressed up as the devil, or a Borgia pope, I'd think the
devil and Boria deserved to be made fun of, too.  It's because they
all had a seriously overinflated opinion of themselves and their desires.

Steve's right.  Geez, you'd think there weren't any present-day
murderous tyrants around to worry about; for some reason, they seem to
get more respectful treatment than poor Prince Harry.

This is my first post in the OT world - normally sit on the sidelines and watch.  

I completely agree that this costume thing has been totally blown out of proportion.  Harry is a kid for crying out loud.  Was it stupid?  Sure...but not especially so.  Wearing the costume wasn't intended as some sort of flattery for the Nazi party or Hitler...it was a frickin' costume.  It's not like he decided to go skin-head and march in the street - he was playing dress up with his ritzy friends...

Must have been a slow news day and the tabloids stoked the fire...everyone loves a controvercy.
