LONDON, England -- Britain's Prince Harry was being encouraged to make a public apology and visit the Auschwitz death camp after he was photographed wearing a Nazi uniform at a party.

Politicians and Jewish groups reacted with outrage to the photograph, in which the 20-year-old royal was seen holding a cigarette and a drink and wearing a swastika armband.

The picture of the third in line to the throne in Nazi regalia was published on the front page of Thursday's Sun newspaper.

Clarence House, the office of Harry's father, Prince Charles, issued a statement late Wednesday night in which Harry apologized for any offence he may have caused.

But opposition Conservative leader Michael Howard said Harry -- the younger son of Charles and the late Princess Diana -- should apologize in person.

"I think a lot of people will be disappointed to see that photograph and it will cause a lot of offence," said Howard, who is Jewish.

"Prince Harry has apologized. I have no doubt that his father and his family will have a good deal to say to him in private. I think it might be appropriate for him to tell us himself just how contrite he now is," Howard told BBC radio.

Down with the Monarchy.

You may want to search again, TKE - he's already issued an apology and has been 'pardoned' by the UK's major judaic organizations.


Still - how freaking stupid could you be . . . no one saw him walk out of the palace and thought, hey, that might be a bad idea?

Which, of course, is the real point. That was a dumb thing to do, but nobody ever accussed every 20 year old of being all that bright all of the time.

Witness all of the threads last year about "blackface" at fraternity parties.

I often wonder what goes through people's minds when they do things like this. What could be the thought process that would lead to this decision?

Prince Harry has never been accused as being the smarter of the two brothers - I don't think he passed any O levels. This is also a 20-year old who lost his mother (the more sensible parent) when he was not quite 13.

Not that I excuse his behavior - where was his valet? It's not like he doesn't have a whole staff or anything.

Well he is of German descent...

/sidenote: Isn't he in the British Army?

For first one... well technically yes...

About the army, he was a cadet at his prep. school - however he may have screwed-up any chance of going to Sandhurst, because this incident calls into question his "character" (again), it's should be interesting to see what happens now that the politicos are invovled.... and it should make Friday's Monarchist Leauge social at least a little more intersting...

While wearing that shirt, he should be publicly spanked by Queen Elizabeth for five non-stop minutes.

She's too old.

Then he should be put into Howard Stern's spanking machine.

There are also members of his family who have had not so private love for the Nazi's and Hitler - His Great Great Uncle (the queens uncle) and it caused quite a bit of embarrassment for the royal family at the time.

It was during the first world war when the royals changed their name to the current windsor. They were known as Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, which was 'too German' for them. They were falling all over themselves trying to be "English" at the time.

So I think the royals would be EXTRA sensitive to this....

But Prince Harry isn't just any stupid 20-year-old. He's a 20-year-old that's been trained since birth on the importance of good p.r. I know he's kind of been on his whole "downward spiral" thing as of late, but this is pretty crazy even so.

The only possible and slightly coherant (which is more than I can say for me right now - codine for pain good)... is that the two brothers went as a theme on their nicknames or future careers. Ie. Prince William as a lion, representing royalty; while Prince Harry went as a facist/nazi (apparently quite a ball buster in cadets)... of course if he had worn simply an Afrika Korps uniform without the armband all this might not be an issue (or as big as one). Please not that I think that in no way does it excuse him... after all he should expect to be in the public eye, and act accordingly... I mean come on did no one go "Hmmm... this might be a bad idea?":rolleyes:

OMG, I can't believe what I'm seeing.... Holidays for 9.50?!?!

That's really cheap, wish I could find the booking form inside that magazine.

Oh, and what's up with the armband on Harry? I mean, maybe he's just a soldier for the Falun Gong :rolleyes:

Ever seen their symbol ?

Come on, I'm sure he just wanted to be Hitler Youth for the party to get his dick-tatored to http://smilies.jeeptalk.org/otn/funny/lew.gif...
