The Harried Prince Harry
Prince Harry, the youngest son of Prince Charles was spotted at his
friend’s party wearing a Nazi uniform with a swastika arm band. The
whole of Britain and Europe was shocked when they awoke that morning
to see the youngest son of the Heir to the British crown wearing a
uniform - which has been hated throughout Europe. There were even
calls to ban all kinds of Nazi symbols throughout Europe like it has
been done in Germany.
This is the perfect case of over -reaction by the people of Europe. I
mean just because he wore a uniform of a certain radical party does
not mean he identifies with their cause and he is a supporter of that
party. It was an “evil/bad” theme party. Which person is considered
more evil than Adolf Hitler himself? The Nazis are considered to be
the most the evil party. Does this justify the call of the EU asking
them to ban the Nazi symbols?
There is a perceptible generation gap in the opinion of the people in
Europe. In a poll taken of the general public a majority was shocked
and angered by this behaviour of Prince Harry. Whereas in the age
group of 18-24, a majority found it completely acceptable. Prince
Harry had been to a private party. He did not appear in the public
like that. It was a clear case of the paparazzist attitude of one of
the revellers at the party who sold it to a newspaper for £10,000. The
newspaper published it because it knew it’s papers would sell like hot
cakes and this was the primary consideration for publishing it on the
front pages of its edition.
He has already tendered an apology. Yet, it was not enough for the
British media who are still going to town with damning reports about
Prince Harry. Phew! Sometimes it is difficult being a royalty. Thank
God , I am not in that position else I would have gone crazy by now.
Amazing what price celebrities have to pay for their fame.
