What a Stupid, Stupid Boy (Prince Harry)

I honestly have not paid much attention to it. Sometimes you have to just quit whining and get on with your life.

Me neither, but our royals do have a regular habit of producing the one that's:
  • Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier
  • A few bricks shy of a load
  • Not the sharpest knife in the drawer
  • A few cards short of a deck
  • A few fries short of a Happy Meal
  • Sharp as a marble
  • Only has one oar in the water
  • The elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor
  • Lights are on, but nobody’s home
  • Fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down
  • Took an IQ test and the results came back negative
  • Dumb as a sack full of rocks
  • Has a mind like a rusty steel trap
  • As thick as two short planks
  • One prawn short of a cocktail
  • Brain about as useful as a chocolate teapot
  • A sandwich short of a picnic
  • Not exactly the same, but related

Prince Harry has undermined his own security and increased the risk of being targeted by Islamists in future revenge attacks after claiming in his memoir that he personally killed 25 Taliban insurgents while serving as a helicopter pilot in Afghanistan, MPs and military chiefs today warned.
The Duke of Sussex writes in his astonishing tell-all, Spare, how he regarded his targets as 'chess pieces', not people - in an admission that has sparked fury among military veterans, including some of Britain's top commanders.
Questions are now being raised about whether Harry has 'shot himself in the foot' and made himself a bigger target with his startling revelation - with the Taliban today taunting the Duke as a 'big mouth loser' who 'fled Afghanistan and hid in his grandmother's palace'.
Ex-Army chief Colonel Richard Kemp today warned that Harry's admissions could cause pro-Taliban sympathisers to be 'provoked to attempt revenge' against him and possibly 'incite some people to attempt an attack on British soldiers anywhere in the world'.

A former head of royal protection has condemned Prince Harry's boasts about killing Taliban fighters as 'foolish in the extreme'.

Retired chief superintendent Dai Davies said that the Duke of Sussex's claims had increased the security risk not just to himself and his family - but the British public at large.

'He has raised the risk to all of us by resurrecting the war in Afghanistan with his ill-advised comments, which are foolish in the extreme,' he said.

'In the UK we have a Coronation this year with a whole raft of public events. All it takes is one extremist seeking to make a point.'

Mr Davies, who has worked in police and security for more than 50 years, said that Harry's comments would almost certainly prompt a review of royal security in the UK.

He added: 'He has increased the risk not just to himself, his wife and children and also those who protect him in the US, but also to our Royal Family here in the UK.

'This has raised the game. The Taliban has been quite quiet recently but this is a long term issue, you can't predict when an attack is going to happen.

'I would be recommending that RAVEC [the Royal and VIP Executive Committee] immediately undertake a risk assessment - not tomorrow but today - and where necessary take steps to increase protection. I think this should apply not just for senior royals but the more junior ones too who may be deemed easier to get at.'

Holly, there is a great deal of merit to your statement that it isn't amusing. Most people are unaware of the fact that the military never publicly boasts of the number of people they have killed in wartime. And judging from the Taliban's leader to Harry's remarks, we can understand why. It is inconceivable that the editors and publisher let this reach the public in this day and age.

Perhaps this was Harry's intention. He obviously despises not only his family, but the Brits as well, for he still thinks they treated Meghan cruelly. At any rate, your country will now have to go on some degree of alert and so will Montecito, CA. I'm sure the Sussexes neighbors are not too happy today either.
 

We have given our opinions here about Mr Harry, and rightly so, but from someone (me) who had regard for the Royal family, I really don't see anyone amongst the senior Royals worthy of being a 'Royal'.
Sadly, the last decent member of that family was Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2.
I do believe, that we in the UK will see an upsurge in republicanism over the coming years.

If he and his unit killed Taliban fighters, Tish, it does not constitute a war crime. But, if they were innocent civilians, that changes the picture exponentially.
 
Ah! I have to say I have not seen the Netflix series. I have not read the book. I will never see the series and I wouldn't even borrow the book from the library for free. Why?
1. I am tired of "Harry" always in the media.
2. I think he is a rich, spoiled little brat and I never did like rich, spoiled little brats.
3. He is constantly complaining. I don't like complainers.
4. He is a media hound. Kind of reminds me of those actors and celebrities doing silly things to get attention.

Absolutely Lois.. as the wife of an ex serving officer, and the aunt of ex marines..I know this only too well..

There;s a school of thought that his immaturity may have had him boast like this to get full armed protection paid for by his father when he visits the UK.. which currently he's in dispute with his father about!

he doesn't want to play by the rules of the RF.. but he wants all the gold trappings...

All he's done now is put him , his wife and children in real danger for the rest of their lives.. as well as potentially the rest of the RF, and the British public , if the Taliban decide to take revenge..

He's not only a snowflake, he's a liar.. and completely disloyal to his family, to his army colleagues and friends..

I normally steer well clear of contentious stories, but this one borders on madness.

I find it difficult to believe that intelligent people didn't tell Harry not to be so stupid as to tell the world about what he has had published in his book 'Spare'.
He may well have painted a target on his, his wife's and his children's backs, because the Taliban will most likely want revenge for Harry's insulting remarks about the 25 he claims to have killed, just like chess pieces on a board.

A very stupid boy.

Not every royal is a paragon of virtue. While there have been plenty of solid, dependable types quietly getting on with the job over the centuries, some royals have used their privileged position to have as much fun and cause as much mayhem as possible.

Step back in time to George IV, George Augustus Frederick; 12 August 1762 – 26 June 1830, he was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and King of Hanover, that's the Saxony part of Germany, from the death of his father, King George III, on 29 January 1820, until his own death ten years later. At the time of his accession to the throne, he was acting as Prince Regent, having done so since 5 February 1811, during his father's final mental illness.

For republicans unaware, a Regent is the term given for temporary cover, as a Vice President would do if the President was unable to. His father, King George III, known as the mad king, he sired fifteen children, enough to drive anyone mad, was deemed insane, unable to reign. So the regency went to his eldest son who became George IV, he had led an extravagant lifestyle contributing to the fashions of the Regency era. He was a patron of new forms of leisure, style and taste but his dissolute way of life and poor relationships with his parents and his wife, Caroline of Brunswick, earned him the contempt of the people and dimmed the prestige of the monarchy. He excluded Caroline from his coronation, accusing her of philandering and pressured the government to introduce the unpopular Pains and Penalties Bill in an unsuccessful attempt to divorce her. Talk about the kettle calling the pot black. George IV was notorious for his gambling philandering and womanising during his time as the first Prince of Wales.

Then you have Edward VIII, Nicknamed 'Dirty Bertie', Edward kept several mistresses throughout his life and gained an international reputation as a womaniser and playboy, whilst finding the job of ‘princing’ (as he dismissively called his royal duties) utterly boring, the future Edward VIII loved the flipside of royal life, the late-night parties, the adoration of almost everyone he came into contact with and the attention of a string of high society women, many of them married. Not that their marital status bothered him in the slightest.

In 1930, Edward met and fell madly in love with American divorcee Wallis Simpson. When he became king in 1936, the headstrong young monarch was determined to marry Wallis. The British establishment was having none of it and Edward was forced to abdicate in favour of his taciturn brother Albert, who went on to become George VI. Free of the shackles of monarchy, Edward married Wallis in 1937 and the two lived in exile in France after the Second World War as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor until Edward’s death in 1972

Our Royals, how we love them!

Here we go again!!!! I am wondering where you people get your vast amount of misinformation.
Would you like to share that? No, I guess not. The Sun, The Mirror, the Daily Mail and whatever twits choose to write.

My grandfather was a Field Marshall ( the highest rank in the British Army). In his memoirs he disclosed the numbers killed. His writings are in the British Library, and stored in archives for army personnel. His name is well known in England and no Germans or Indians have come to get him or his decendants.
 
Surely it's time for the media to start ignoring him! Like so many privileged people, he has difficulty dealing with reality. It's his problem, not ours.
I have seen it predicted that Meghan will be the next Oprah, and I can well believe it. She has the same patronising attitude. She has encouraged Harry's self pity, and now she is set to do it professionally.

Different times, different enemies. (Not the same, but Louis Mountbatten, 1979, blown up?)

Your grandfather wrote of these things after the end of hostilities, and seemingly are intended for those of us who enjoy reading war stories and those who experienced the action. Mind you, he also wrote certain items intended solely for the Army, not the public domain. Memoirs are usually very educational as well as entertaining.

So you know my Grandfather then…you know when his memoirs were written, for whom they were written and whether they were published?
Hmm…very interesting!
