161. You misunderstand me
I have tremendous sympathy for him growing up under the spotlight without his mother (the letter addressed to Mum on Diana's casket broke my heart) but at 20 years old (I maintain, not a child but a young adult)KNOWING his every move is scrutinized, was unthinkably stupid.

Frankly, I have no beef with the monarchy in Great Britain - that's for their own citizens to deal with. But to say he has no upside to being a royal is really not the truth. He lives in the lap of luxury, his every whim taken care of. With all that, comes a responsibility to think twice about his choices. The choice to wear a nazi uniform was dumb.

In the interest of full disclosure, I'm Jewish and find it in very bad taste to wear the nazi uniform at a costume party. I wouldn't really care who was doing it.
