For those who don't pay attention to celeb gossip (alas, I do), photos of a 100% naked Prince Harry and some young women he picked up in Vegas have hot the press. Here's a link:

Personally, I don't care: he did it on his time and with his own money. However, some posters at that blog had a good point: Harry will be called on the carpet by the Queen, but that'll be it, and everyone will just chuckle a bit and say, "Oh, that Harry is such a rascal!" I myself kinda did that.
However, what if either Princess Beatrice or Princess Eugenia dd this? Or Princess Madeleine of Sweden? Or Zara Philips if she was still single? The first two would especially be slut shamed, and their mother *Sarah Ferguson)would be, too. Never mind Prince Andrew and his underage prostitutes. They would never hear the end of it!
I also think this would be the case if they had traipsed about London in a Nazi uniform like their cousin Harry did.

(15,189 posts)I heard Diana had an affair with one of her chauffeurs, and that guy had red hair like Harry's. I don't know for fact it is true, but where does that red hair come from? If they have the courage to check DNA and the courage to admit it, we shall see.

(20,805 posts)...take a look at Charles, then take a look at Hewitt and tell me who Harry more closely resembles?

(27,806 posts)If you do not think Harry looks like Charles in recent photos, you need to look again.
obamanut2012
(27,806 posts)He is Charles' son.

(20,805 posts)...and most likely Harry's old man...nothing wrong with that...

(27,806 posts)I will say once more: as a co-host of this group, please drop this tangent. Thank you.

(20,805 posts)...I don't give a rat's ass if you're the co-host, why should I not voice my perfectly legitimate view-point?
You seem to have some vested interest in trying to squash this very common theory of his paternity.
And no, luckily for him he looks NOTHING LIKE CHARLES....

(30,884 posts)obamanut2012 was correct -- this subthread was moving the discussion outside of the group SOP.

(20,805 posts)I was never warned by obamanut AT ANY POINT so accusing me of ignoring a request I never received seems a little stupid to me...but sure, as the faithful husband of a cancer survivor and proud father of a single daughter, feel free to kick me out of your feminist group...

Yes, she misspoke and said that she had warned you before. Your reply here:
...I don't give a rat's ass if you're the co-host, why should I not voice my perfectly legitimate view-point?
is why I replied to you.
The point is, this thread has a specific purpose that fits the SOP of the group and discussing the paternity of a royal isn't within the scope of the SOP. Obamanut2012 and you were veering off topic, she realized it and tried to stop it.
If you object to the actions of any co-host in this group please send me a message. Stating that you don't give a rat's ass about her status as co-host is not productive.
I'm not kicking you out of the group -- we try very hard not to kick anyone out. We also try to maintain on-topic threads which meet our SOP.

Believe me, you are lucky. There are definitely hosts out there of other groups that have an itchy block finger.

(27,806 posts)Diana never had an affair with a chauffeur. I have NEVER read that. And, most of the Spencers are gingers, and Harry looks like Diana's brother and, as he ages, Prince Charles.
And, why would he need to be careful? Charles has denounced the nasty comments and has stated Harry is his son. Why does anyone need to be "brave" and do a DNA test? It isn't like Charles is being made to pay child support for a child not his.
wtf

(29,155 posts)Try again.
obamanut2012
(27,806 posts)Not whether or not Diana was a "slut" and Harry a "bastard." Feel free to post such an OP in GD. I'll even post in it, but y'all are in the Feminist Group. Please remember that.
Thanks.

(20,805 posts)In this thread? Can you show me where? I think that's disgraceful...she may have been many things, but a slut is not one of them..

(32,886 posts)impact of this is still growing. The pictures were published in the Sun today after threats to the legality of doing so by the Royal family.
Personally, I am not in favor of slut-shaming anyone for any consensual sexual behavior between adults.

(9,465 posts)I devour those mags in the nail parlor and at the Chinese take-out, though I realize I'm getting really old when I have to keep wondering "Who are most of these people?" They prove you can be young, gorgeous, thin, rich, and famous, and be even more miserable and fucked up than I am.
Following the Royals is almost as much fun as Downton Abbey. And if you think we Americans are harsh, you should read what some of the British press says! Did you know Elizabeth is supposed to have some cousins locked up in a comfy padded room in a remote asylum? Well, neither did I, and I probably still don't, but many English are convinced of this.
It's the last stand of a hereditary class system that's being reduced to tokenism by the Monarchs of Capitalism, and like an episode of Masterpiece Theatre, the actions women can take are limited by their upbringing and social expectations.
I expect it sucks to be a Princess, Disney fantasies aside.
