Charles backs Harry
By BRUCE WILSON in London 16jan05
PRINCE Harry will not be forced to visit Auschwitz or make a televised apology for his Nazi fancy dress stunt after Prince Charles decided his son should not be "hung out to dry".
The Prince of Wales is angry his son is being pilloried for what he regards as a silly, but harmless, prank.
But the outrage over 20-year-old Harry's decision to attend a party in a German soldier's uniform with a swastika armband continues to provoke outrage.
The royal family's refusal to take further action risks provoking yet more public criticism.
Charles himself, inspecting flood damage in England's north, looked through reporters who tried to get some kind -- any kind -- of comment on Harry's offensive choice of fancy dress.
Twice Charles turned away, and it was later revealed he had spent just three days with Harry since early December.
Charles had been holidaying with his mistress Camilla Parker Bowles at Balmoral, Scotland, since the New Year and refused to leave her.
That criticism mounted yesterday, especially in Jewish communities. It is believed that in an attempt to dampen things down, Harry will apologise to the British Chief Rabbi, Dr Jonathan Sacks. Even then, Harry is expected simply to write a note.
Lord Levy, a senior member of Britain's Jewish community and Prime Minister Tony Blair's special envoy to the Middle East, joined the debate by saying he was appalled.
"He has let the country down. The royals are meant to be ambassadors to the world but the Prince's behaviour has sent shock waves through the international community," he said.
**But it seems Prince Charles does not agree. After meeting senior officials, he made it clear he would refuse to bow to political pressure from senior politicians, including Tory leader Michael Howard, who demanded Harry make a televised apology.
One senior official said: "As far as the Prince is concerned, Harry has apologised for his mistake. He has said sorry and that is the end of the matter."**

Recluse,
Good to see Karl von Battenburg, the Prince of Wales, has some backbone. One would like to see someone stand and fight for Britain. But can a family that will not fight for it's own good name fight for anything else. And they also left poor Nicholas and his family to die.

I sure wish that Harry was the son of Bush......then the real fun would start.

What do you know about the family's views on WWII? A friend continually argues that they wanted peace with Germany because they did not want to suffer the same fate.

Expect Prince Charles (and the entire House of Windsor) to be subjected to an unrelenting onslaught of Jewish media condemnation, complete with new accusations of the Royals' hand in Diana's (Godess of the Universe, Sinless and Wholly Holy) "accidental" death as well as their hidden Nazi sympathies.

We can only hope, xmetalhead. It would be a colossal mistake for the Jewish community not to back down at this point.

What is really funny is that the Hollywood Jews loves to make the Germans movies with every one dressed with their Germans uniform, the Jews make a lot of money with this movies, but let one kid drees the same way and all hell breaks loose.
I wonder how the Jews will manage to make money from Prince Harry, I am sure that they will try to do this.
