Default Prince Harry reputation?

How is Harry generally regarded now in the UK? He seems well on his way to becoming another cheap American TV celebrity in my opinion.

CB, the Ginger Whinger apparently has, or did have, several supporters on this forum, with whom I crossed swords at one time. I don't know how much support he has on here now but, if people have come to their senses, I doubt if it is as much. Personally I can't stand the whining infantile prat and as far as I am concerned the USA is welcome to him.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant.

As for the "Ginger Whinger" (as you call him) , there would probably be a petition started but not about taking the piss ..... only about using the term 'Ginger'
My post was about how in these P.C days any 'perceived' insult is deemed to cause offence and was in no way "supporting" anyone.

He wouldn't have got away with his 'claims' on British TV , the American media/Oprah just accepted what he said and didn't question the statements. Imagine if Jeremy Paxman or Piers Morgan were doing the interview !

The 'racist' claim was met with 'shock/horror' without any question about the circumstances/enviroment the comment was made in.

Family/Friends/Soldiers all make comments about new babies , would it have its Grandad's ears (Charles) or its dads (ginger) hair and most would wonder (with mixed race) which 'genetical' features it would inherit . Racist or simply curiosity .

I have no doubt that during his military service he made 'racist' comments (Arabs/Muslims) and 'sexist' (how many squaddies didn't) but due to his position/status these were ignored . Now he's opened the floodgates and may well be shown for the hypocrite he is.

Mike, I was not referring to your comments in that previous thread, I was referring to a completely different and much earlier thread about the dickhead. I would appreciate it if you would get your facts right first.

Jeremy Paxman, more like Jeremy Kyle https://youtu.be/4da2ZlR5-1c, tiI could just see the bouncers holding them back when the rest of the family come out from behind the screen
