Harry - Cornet Wales

I was going to post this earlier and then Allie beat me to it. But as a Brit, here's my take





Now Harry, as in Prince Harry, is son number 2. That makes him, well, nothing really. Dear old granny is still on her throne, meaning daddy is still waiting to have his go. This means William will have to wait his turn too. So Harry has no chance. He is the equivalent to Princess Margaret. While her sister Elizabeth (same birthday as me btw, I waited for someone important before I made my entrance a month late) took on royal duties, Margaret was a Royal slut. Fags, booze and men..



So, Harry can be the rebel. And rebel he is. While William has chosen an English Rose for his rumoured-to-be future wife and Queen, Harry has some slapper from South Africa. He rolls out of Nightclubs drunk, is pictured with numerous young ladies when his girlfriend isn't in town and usually has a cigarette in his mouth

When he went to Sandhurst, the Army Officer training school, the media mocked him. They followed his progress avidly waiting for him to follow his Uncle Eddie and fail miserably.

He didn't. he wowed them. Broke records, won awards. He went in as a boyish Royal lout and came out an officer. A cornet no less which apparently is a rank in his Welsh regiment equivalent to 2nd Lieutenant
Then came the debate. Would he go to war or be shoved in a nice cushy office somewhere

Harry himself answered. Last year, the prince said:

"There's no way I'm going to put myself through Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country."

Harry reportedly threatened to quit the Army if he were not allowed to serve in a conflict zone.

So to Iraq he goes.

In a tank.

Somewhere unknown.
Just in case

Perhaps we should put him in a red hat though, just so the Americans know where he is

A big Hoo-Ah for Harry :-)

What's an English Rose? Is that a debutante?

Debutante - thats a bit old fashioned

It just means shes a good girl, pretty and wholesome

yey for Harry and his slut...

There's a song by Confederate Railroad called "Trashy Women", sounds like Harry's song!

He's toast. They're going to target tanks just for fun. What better way than to win the war on terror than take out a member of royalty. And I'm not sure which side I'm talking about at this point...

i think he's doing the right thing, i thikn the british people as a whole would've looked down on him and the royal institution as a whole if he didn't go while the rest of the regiment did go.
yeah ok, it's probably not the wisest thing to do though, especially with the americans shooting anyone that moves
wouldn't that be news...i mean just think of the uproar if the yanks shot him!
