Thick Boy

Here's Harry's Dad Charlie pretending to be a decorated veteran (his mum gives him medals for his birthday, bless)

I decided against comment here on the recent furore over Prince Harry and his Nazi costume, but thought I would share this from the British satire magazine Private Eye which sums it all up (including the reaction) rather nicely (photos and captions are of my own choosing however, reflecting my rather ham-fisted approach and why I didn't bother to write anything):

MONARCHY’S DAY OF SHAME

BRITAIN’s monarchy was today plunged into its worst-ever crisis, as fury mounted over the horrifying pictures that have stunned the world.
It is hard to recall a cataclysmic blunder of such proportions, which could well spell the end of the thousand-year rule of the House of Windsor.

Across the nation a sense of white-hot outrage swept through the entire population, as more and more voices joined the tide of protest.
Among the groups we contacted in the hope that they would be outraged were army veterans, Holocaust victims and OAPs who had lived through the Blitz.
Their verdict was unanimous. “We can’t see what the fuss is about,” they said.

YOU DECIDE! What should be done to the Nazi prince?

Should he:

A) be forced to make a public apology from the balcony of Buckingham Palace?

B) be strung up?

C) attend counselling sessions with Dr Germaine Greer?

Not realizing it was a costume party Chaz saves his bacon at the last minute by grabbing a pint and going as "a common person"
