I think that it was in one of the weekend papers that someone remarked that a person, whatever their gender at birth, could declare themselves to be any other gender (and woe betide anyone else who questioned their right or the decision), but someone of a certain ethnicity could not opt to be regarded as of another. (And there have been several outings of people who have tried to exercise this option.)

After much rumination I've concluded that H&M are the best members of our beloved royal fam. Perhaps Harry's openness will encourage more men to seek psychotherapy if they need mental help support (I'd see this as a positive). Most of all I thank them for shining the full spotlight on the ridiculousness of the entire set up, including themselves. I see tabloid fave Princess Kate - (she of silent, anorexic compliance and swishy hair!) - has been enjoying her new job AS A COLONEL by doing a spot of first aid in a fetching camo outfit. It's beyond parody. Honestly, I feel that after all the good HRH Elizabeth II did, this lot needs to retire gracefully., preferably before the end of April Absolutely bracing myself for the run up to the coronation now...I saw a commemorative garden bench for sale this morning  |

Jeez, spare us.

Jeez, spare us. They are just media space-fillers at this point. A perpetual thorn in the side of meritocracy. Although I have to thank Wills for the Prince of Pegging gossip which was great

Aargh, he's BACK, that shy prince who just wants to be left in peace, in the full glare of publicity again. Will we never be rid of him and his whinging? It sounds as if his case is decidedly shaky anyway. If he wants to be left alone, what's he doing in court with the world's media trained on him? It doesn't add up.

Forget Harry Windsor. It's Whinger, Harry Whinger, licenced to whinge. It's all he's got left to keep the 'brand' in the news now he's not a Royal. He has to keep reporting phantom car chases every month or so otherwise after a year the US media will forget their resident non-royal and he will be left in the peace he so obviously doesn't want.

I suspect that he was probably badly treated by the media as a younger man. However, his recent shenanigans have probably resulted in the average man in the street having little sympathy for him.

I'm sure he's a nice bloke, but he's taken a course that just rubs certain types of British people up the wrong way. Whether your politics are left or right, there's a certain ethic worth preserving of gritting your teeth and getting on with it. Discussing your 'feelings', well you do that with your close friends. Not in book.
