Prince Harry has apologised for wearing a swastika armband to a friend's fancy dress party.
Clarence House issued a statement in response to a photograph published on the front page of the Sun newspaper under the headline, "Harry the Nazi".
It read: "Prince Harry has apologised for any offence or embarrassment he has caused. He realises it was a poor choice of costume."
But there have been calls for the prince to make his own public apology.
Tory leader Michael Howard told BBC Radio 4's Today programme Prince Harry should appear in person, rather than talk through a spokesman.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews said the costume was in "bad taste".
But they were "pleased" he had apologised for the incident.
"It was clearly in bad taste, especially in the run-up to holocaust memorial day on the 27th of this month, which the Royal Family will be taking a leading role in commemorating."
The picture was taken at the weekend at a friend's birthday party in Wiltshire, which had the fancy dress theme "colonial and native".

Prince Harry, 20, appears to be wearing a German desert uniform and a swastika armband. He is also holding a drink and cigarette.
Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain, of the Reform Synagogues of Great Britain, said: "The fact that the palace has issued an apology indicates that this was a mistake by the prince.
"But having been given, the apology should now be accepted."
But the Queen's former assistant press secretary, Dickie Arbiter, said: "This young man has got to come up front and be seen in person making an apology."
Former armed forces minister Doug Henderson MP said the picture showed the prince was "not suitable" for the prestigious royal military academy Sandhurst, which he is due to attend later this year.
"If it was anyone else, the application wouldn't be considered. It should be withdrawn immediately," said the Labour MP for Newcastle upon Tyne North.
The prince, who is third in line to the throne, hit the headlines last year after a scuffle with a photographer at a nightclub.
The Sun reported that Prince William was also at the party - dressed as a lion.

It wasn't the uniform that so pissed off the media, he was smoking a cigarette!!! With a drink in the other hand!!! The Nazi charge is just a cover, media distraction. Apologies expected for smoking, however.

I'm not sure, just a conspiracy-riddled paleo-con :ninja:
I forgot, smoking hasn't been banned yet in England but they're likely to use Harry's puffing of Marlboros as the new raison d'etre for a countrywide campaign to snuff out those butts in those degenerate British pubs. They'll say smoking causes not only cancer but Nazism as well! :smoke:= :hitler:

Actually I do think I see the butt now, in his left hand. I thought it sort of looked like a ring but you're right.

It's in the article:

[QUOTE=Okiereddust]And you say "then we'll have em, because everyone knows the Fuhrer didn't smoke!"[/QUOTE]
Yes, the media should inform everyone that Hitler wouldn't approve of Harry's [B]drinking or smoking [/B] and would certainly be a Nazi reject. God, Harry's failing on all fronts! Poor kid.

Jimmy Page in Chicago circa 1977. There wasn't a lot of controversy about it then. A lot's changed in the last 30 years.

Now the Jews wants Prince Harry to go to Poland and celebrate some kind of Jewish holocaust party to show how "sorry" he is, I wonder if the Jews are going to make him wear a bennie cap if he goes.
I hope his parents will say that they are sorry and that's it, the Jews are going to squeeze Prince Harry for all they can and I wonder how much the king and queen will have to "donate" to the Jews.

David Irving comments: [url]http://www.fpp.co.uk/online/05/01/Harry_Nazi.html[/url]
I HEAR that a spokesman for the Simon Wiesenthal Center (Mark Weitzman?) spoke of "David Irving and his band of Nazi sympathisers" in connection with the Prince Harry fancy dress outfit on BBC News, today, Jan 13, at about eight thirty-five. Yes, the international Jewish community in England is outraged that the prince has been photographed secretly, at a private fancy-dress party, wearing an Afrika Korps tunic and a Nazi swastika armband (a home-made one, as any connoisseur could tell). Now, I've never done that myself, but that outfit could well turn into something of a fashion, like hip-hop or the New Look. To the dismay of many, ahem, citizens however the Channel 4 Jon Snow television news program has conducted an instant poll (after a "balanced discussion" consisting of himself; an unknown Jewish stand-up comedian; a man called "Smith"; the Old Paedophile Himself; and the woman heading the Parliamentary Committee on anti-Semitism, all four of whom are Jewish. Snow announces the poll result at the end -- unlike his guests most of the ordinary British find nothing offensive about the episode.
THIS does not mean there will not be repercussions, but they will not be what those, ah, citizens wanted. Earlier today I expressed on this website the hope that nobody will remember that Prince Philip (the Duke of Edinburgh) has or had four sisters all of whom were in Nazi Germany during WWII, married either to SS-Obergruppenführers, Nazi gauleiters, or Hermann Göring's chief of Intelligence, the Prince Christian von Hesse; and that as for the father of Princess Michael of Kent, he was of course an Austrian SS Obergruppenführer. Yes, there is lots that still has to come out. King George VI loathed Winston Churchill (see the papers of Harry Hopkins and the diary of Mackenzie-King); his Queen Elizabeth plotted secretly with certain British admirals to overthrow Winston in the summer of 1940 and accept Hitler's peace offer. This is what the secret records will eventually reveal. This is the Real History -- the politically disastrous shadow, the past across which Buckingham Palace cannot leap back in time. I personally do not mind. I wish we had accepted that offer in 1940. The British Empire would still stand, and where the United States does now, but considerably more astute and civilised, in my view (and of course the Holocaust, whatever it was, would not have happened: because the war would have stopped forthwith. But nobody has ever claimed that das internationale Judentum is blessed with above-average intelligence). No, I am not as sensitive as they are about what people say about them.
SENSITIVE. That is the word that these delicate gentlemen keep using, -- the Old Paedophile Himself used it several times today on various television interviews -- as they lament the rise in anti-Semitism around the world. I expect the family of Rachel Corrie, that brave American peace activist fatally flattened by an Israeli Army bulldozer into the Gaza Strip, is quite "anti-Semitic" by now; the inhabitants of Jenin are probably quite that way inclined too, having had their homes, grandparents, and crippled kinsfolk ironed into the ground by the blades of other insensitive Israeli bulldozer drivers. I personally try to keep a level head, despite having had my own life bulldozed by these same folk ever since I published my book The Destruction of Dresden in 1963. It will be interesting to see if Prince Harry manages to maintain the same equilibrium after having slime and public obloquy heaped upon him by the Jewish community of England, most of them first or second-generation foreign immigrants like Michael Howard, the Conservative leader, and a sprinkling of well-remunerated "Holocaust survivors" (i.e., people to whom not very much happened, unlike their less fortunate contemporaries in Treblinka, Dresden, Coventry, and Hiroshima). I rather fear that they have achieved the unique feat of turning the young man who is third in line for the British Throne into a committed anti-Semite, from this day on.
Postscript: At 2:30 pm The Daily Telegraph (London) phones, saying they are rounding up quotations from celebrities on the Prince Harry wearing Nazi uniform episode. What is my view? I say, "A harmless prank" and "very much in character." I refuse to say it was "In poor taste," -- a phrase the journalist four times throws at me to confirm.

Consider the circumstance: It was a private party.
And the repulsive runt that committed the theft took the photograph under false pretence.
However, the queer view of media personalities, is of no relevance.
No apology is required.

Well the queen told Prince Harry to go to the Jewish party in Poland, poor kid from now on he will know how to hate the Jews where there was no hate before, I only hope that he learns how not to have any feelings for those people like I do.

I didn't know where else to place this so I decided to do it here.
The Zionist state of Israel now wants a space based weapon, so guess who is going to pay for their new toys of destruction?
I really don't have any feeling about the Zionists of Israel but to tell you the truth I am beginning to get angry at the American people for being so STUPID as to allow those people to do anything they want.
As you know Cuba's Castro sent 3,000 of those people out of the country for getting out of hand but there are still 2,000 of them in left over, the Jews have been kicked out of about 67 nations with some of them doing it at least twice.
I do hope that the American people wake up before is to late.....in the other hand it could be to late already.
