Now I have a very black sense of humour so I found it more funny that horrifying. Sure not the smartest thing for someone so in the public eye to do but still.
Oh no he wore a nazi costume to a fancy dress party. He must be a nazi. I once wore a batman costume (I was 8 give me a break) does that make me batman?

Give the Prince a break,he is only a young lad, rebellious as any, that wishes to find his spot in the world.
is batman a racist who condemns a religion, a follower of killing 6 million people? i didnt think so. and anyway, you were 8, your not a prince and you werent seen on tv. Anyway, whats wrong with being batman?
If you are as narrow mainded as to think that someone is or becomes what they wear or do at a costume party, then you are a realy dangerous person, and sorry to tell you but your way of thincking resembels the Nazi, a person should be free to be whoever he or she wants to be, even a Prince of England.
If you start analizing the History of Humankind you would find that there are just a few costumes you would be able to wear. Depending on the person you are talking to the following would be distastefull and offending:
A Turk outfitt (in the eyes of an Armenian)
A Jewish outfitt (in the eyes of a Palestinian)
An Athila the Hun outfitt
A Genhis Khan outfitt
An Alexander the Great outfitt
Etc, Etc, Etc,
An outfitt that resembels any person or thing that has done wrong to another person or nation is lickly to offend or distress someone in the world. So shut up and let the people live free.

Originally posted by dandasticI have a confession to make - I've worn an armband with a swastika on it, because we had to do some god-awful 'Allo Allo' sketch in a school play. People will dress up as all sorts of nasty characters from history, from Roman soldiers to pirates to George W. Bush, but usually no-one gets upset - after all, dressing up as a pirate, say, doesn't mean you endorse stealing ships and killing, ransoming or enslaving their crew. People will even dress up as the Devil (indeed, it is traditional to do so in some Christian countries) and no-one raises an eyebrow. I doubt that Harry's choice of costume had anything to do with his political sympathies, he probably just picked a costume that would be easy to make/get hold of - also people are only calling it a 'stunt' because it's attracted publicity, which I'm sure Harry wasn't trying to get.
what does the world think about harry wearing the german swastika to a party. Was he trying to be funny or is he a cynical, selfish and racist who couldnt care less how many jewish people he has hurt by this 'stunt'.
What do you think?
I think what's more telling is the 'Colonials and Natives' theme of the party - not a particularly wholesome worldview, but then neither is 'Cowboys and Indians'.

Just because he is royal doesnt mean he cant have fun!

it is one of the most idoitic and insensitive things i have seen.. smoke some more joint harry and go as a hippy is what i say..
i am not saying he cant have fun but lets be fair that was ridiculous..
after if in u were in new york and someone dressed as bin laden there would be some seriously pissed off people. yre mates may see the funny side and chuck oranges at you but i dont think the rest would be impressed..
