Hahahaha!
Harry's Grandad is well known for his racist remarks. I guess he taught him well.
The only thing more corrupt and out of touch with the real world than the Royals are the politicians.

What Harry said may have been un-PC and racist, but then like so many other things picked up by the tabloids it was never meant for public viewing. It is either his genuine personal opinion or a joke between him and his army mates, however 'wrong' it may have been.

This type of thing always reminds me of when Tony Blair's kid passed his exams and spent the evening with mates getting drunk. The media found him passed out in a gutter. He then had to publicly apologise for his behaviour.
F*** that. Most kids his age would have been doing exactly the same thing, to varying degrees, having passed their exams. Why should he have to apologise for doing something normal and expected of a late teenager?

Going bsck to Harry I'm sure he will be made to apologise, just like the fancy dress outfit incident, but I feel that it is wrong. Everyone shares comments or jokes about other races or people that some others would deem un-PC. Should we all publicly apologise?

He has said he's sorry.

The thing is, the job of the royal family is to represent Britain (and the Commonwealth?). He's not any kid of the street, whether that's fair to him or not, and his remarks WILL get published.

Sucks to be him, but as long as he's part of this royalty thing he needs to make Britain look good through his own behavior.

So making comparisons with more regular people doesn't really work because they only represent themselves.

And no, I do not think it's fair. I hope there are some serious advantages to modern age royalty that even partly make up for this constant pressure.
