I love Harry and Wills - just like their mother - surely any comments made in interview should be passed "safe" for public consumption before being aired

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Dermot. I look in my mirror and think - my grandpa has returned!!!!

Think both Harry and William are goodish looking. But they alkso both seem really good fun. I think we would all enjoy to be in their company - whereas their father ..... :-( :-(

Nobody wants to be considered ugly. That's why I dumped all the mirrors in my gaff.

MrD. Agree about H not necessarily being gorgeous. But that couple in your new avatar. Now they are both gorgeous :-D

Agree absolutely with all the above (perhaps, not the comment about H being gorgeous' though ..... :-S).

There are a few good 'war correspondents', but they are the intelligent and experienced ones that you don't hear much about, unfortunately.

Otherwise, the rest are purely gutter press - remind me of the hyena's in Lion King, to be honest....and I'm come across a few. :-P

Harry is a serving soldier, and just like all the rest of HM Forces, puts his life in danger whilst serving Queen and Country. Lads and lasses alike, they are brave and deserve peace and quiet when they are either on R & R or leave.

Unfortunately both Harry and William when they are off-duty have to make public appearances by reason of their birth. So their rest time is even more valuable to them than Joe Bloggs who does not have to suffer interviews, asked stupid questions and having flash cameras going off constantly.

As to the 'strip' party, he is a young man, single and was going off to war. Blame anyone, blame his minders who should have taken all phones off his guests.

If, in order to give Harry peace, Buck House had to do a deal with the media - then to my mind the media should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

I think that it is absolutely appalling that B/Palace had to do a 'deal' with our press in order for them to basically 'leave Prince Harry alone', as if they hadn't, clearly the Prince wouldn't have been able to go, our delightful press would have made sure of that!! Whose side are they on? as let's face it's paramount to blackmail and just shocking, no wonder he dislikes them SO much. Can't 'they' just leave the poor chap ALONE in every respect. Mind you 'they' have to get THAT story, Who knows, perhaps one day the Prince will be captured, badly wounded, OR even killed! Wow, what a coup that would be - crocodile tears of course would be shed while hands were being rubbed, what G## awful people 'they' are!!

Its not only the Iresponsibility of the Press,but of the People who leak these stories to them,Who Does it? and who allows them to do it? Not only his life but the lives of others who are put in Extra Danger because of their sheer Stupidity in printing these stories,Its about time it was stopped and the Press hauled over the coals for it.**M**.

Given Prince Harry's dislike and distrust of the Press, I did wonder about the hows and whys behind the interview.
Apparently a deal was done before he went: if he consented to do the interview the Press would not speculate prior to his deployment.
Poor bloke, he just can't win.

At least they've left William and Kate alone for a mo'. Wouldn't surprise me if they've had to do a deal too. :-|

Jaw jaw is better than war war. Jaw jaw is what politics is for. Politics is to debate these issues of conflict and find way to resolve them. Not so easy when your opponents do not recognise the democratic process or the ballot box - but still possible (as Mo Mowlam and others proved in N Ireland).

But if it has to be conflict, then that interview Prince Harry gave would be identical to what every soldier of any rank or sex would have said. And whichever side they were on. That is what we and our representatives send them to do - when other avenues have been exhausted.

While I support the actions, courage and determination of Prince Harry to protect his fellow
service personnel, I feel that this interview was totally unnecessary.
Like any British serviceman/woman in a war zone it is an accepted part of their role,
of course Prince Harry has had to kill Taliban insurgents, however jingoistic repeats of this interview
will incite radicalised British Muslims to attempt to target Prince Harry and other members of the Royal family out of revenge disguised as Jihad.

'Tabloids' - the only true source of infallibly correct information on all subjects.

I suppose that if our enemies are as monolingual as we are, they will need translators to understand what is written in the press.

Wasn't the assassination of a "Royal" the trigger to the start of WW1 ?
(Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria).

What `s that saying about "History repeating its self".... Hope not. :-(
