Royal Ass

We might share the same name and country but thank goodness nothing else. Following on blindly in his grandfathers footsteps, Prince Harry has yet again made a Royal Ass of himself.

Previous endeavors of bad taste have not held much sway with Officer Harry. It was a couple of years ago Harry turned up at a party in a Nazi uniform, only to have his pugnacious face splashed on every front page ink will allow.

Now, revealed as the nearest thing to a Royal sex tape, is video footage of officer Harry unleashing disparaging remarks about his own men. This recent incident exposes Harry using a racial slur towards a fellow Pakistani officer and making unflattering references to Arab headwear.

While it would be naive of me to think this behavior doesn’t exist. The example set by possibly (If William dies or becomes a Scientologist) a future King and commander of the British armed forces doesn’t look to promising.

Indeed the British taxpayer, who pays for these privileged souls to have the best education possible might think twice about the benefits Royalty has to offer them. Given the current economic collapse their actual worth must be considered a financial liability.

If you remember last summer, Officer Harry was keen to display his call to duty by demanding he fought on the front line in Afghanistan. Commendable perhaps, but a good PR stunt all the same. While on the front line he was protected by a brigade of Gurkhas who are warrior like and are fiercely loyal.

The Gurkhas hail from Nepal and last time I looked they have similar skin tone to Pakistanis. They might feel underappreciated considering they were risking their lives for him.

Historically, the Royal Family doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to bigotry and gaffes. Namely Prince Phillip who down the years has made racial slurs against the Chinese and the Queen Mother was a notorious bigot.

In today’s multicultural Britain (if its subjects want a Monarch) it needs to have a worthy modern Monarchy that accepts the variety and diverse cultures that now make up Great Britain. Officer Harry’s remarks leave a nasty stain that exhibit the changing of the old guard has some way to go.
