    When will the guy learn that as a so called representative of the country he needs to exercise some common sense in how he handles himself.

    If he was a politician he would be forced to resign yet as a royal he can cause offense at will and still live on the tax payers money.

    Sounds pretty harmless to me. If he is freinds with the lad then I'm sure they'll have all laughed about it. In Britain these days we are far too politically correct. We are not even allowed to acknowledge the very things that makes us unique. I have a Taiwanese friend, we often joke about the what he might put in his wok, in return he makes fun of bland English food, and we all just get along.

    I think he's just trying to be one of the lads, Thats the way men go on with each other, as for pretending to phone the Queen he's letting them know he doesen't take his Status too seriously..

    Harry is a legend.:ntwrth:

    Too much offence taken by people on others behalf these days.

    If thats how they get through the day trying not to think about the possibility of getting their heads blown off then who really cares.

    He's never going to be king, let him live a normal life, which includes having a right laugh with your mates.:gnthb::gnthb::gnthb:

    Next you'll be telling me Jonathan Ross should be sacked !:hehe::hehe::hehe:

    What would we be saying if it was Gordon Brown who had made the comments? theyd be a mass clamour for resignation.

    Im afraid videoing ones self making blatantly offensive commenyts is pure stupidity especially as third in line to the throne.

    "I think he's just trying to be one of the lads, Thats the way men go on with each other"

    Well I wouldnt nor any of my freinds, certainly not on camera or within earshot of others.

    Im no lover of political correctness but the guy is a first rate prat, even more so than his so called grand father phillip (asuming that his father is charles and not hewit)!

    To me he needs to learn the simle lesson, 'the right time and the right place'.

    While I do agree that he is a young lad and has a right to have a normal life... well he hasn't a normal life, I know he has many duties, and he has lost his mom in tragic circumstancies, and now he is in the military... ok ok, but still he was born and raised with his a** wrapped in cotton wool, he will never have to worry about finding a job, paying a rent for the house, finding a baby sitter or a dog walker, getting health insurance, s****ing together enough for all the bills, he doesn't even need to be good at politics like a carrer politician *should* be... his job is basically is to be decorative and ispirational. I think at these conditions he can at least be polite. I would dismiss this as an innocent thing,but the svastika accident has nothing innocent of forgivable about it, and in my opinion after *that* he should behave like a model citizen for the rest of his days.
    Nothing against your royal family,I find them terribly cute (ducks and run).

    Paul I very rarely pull you about anything-who could?


    And I`m absolutely sure you understand me when I say this. If he said it in front of cameras then he is of no threat whatsoever.

    Mind you, he does look a bit like Hewitt:lollol:

    I don't think he was deliberately going out of his way to be offensive, just having a laugh with his mates. He's known for his gaffes after all (remember the Nazi soldier fancy dress story - oh dear!). And calling the enemy ragheads, when they're the enemy, well, that's understandable!

    And remember, he's young and has probably been sidelined as "the spare".

    If it was Gordon Brown, yes we'd want him out, but looking at the mess the labour government has made of things time and again, yet the main culprits (Mandelson, Brown, Smith) are still there, so would he actually leave? Don't think so!
