Nazi Stunt Lands Prince Harry in Hot Water

What on earth was Prince Harry of Great Britain thinking when he showed up to a party wearing Nazi regalia and wearing a swastika armband? This is no laughing matter.

For a British royal to do something like this defies belief. People in the UK are now asking that the Prince apologize in person and on international TV and to visit a Nazi death camp (Auschwitz) with the British delegation that will be going there later this year to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the camp by Allied troops.

A photo appeared on the cover of the British tabloid “The Sun” under the headline “Harry the Nazi.” The photo will not be posted here.

For someone who vowed to lift his mother’s torch and carry on her mission in her stead, he’s not doing a very good job of presenting himself in the best traditions of humbleness, strength and humanity.

The prince has offended so many people this time that he will be making up for it for a very long time to come. The criticism coming from Britain itself is scathing and the international reaction is coming in hot and heavy as people wake up to this scandal coming from the royal palace.

What did he think the reaction would be?

Disgraceful!
