British Royal Prince Harry is upset about his criticism over drinking and kissing barmaids at a club in Canada, hours after the 150th soldier died in Iraq. Immediately after the publication of Harry's pictures, his critics said that his flirting at Cowboys club in Calgary last Wednesday showed that he was lacking respect for the British Army

Harry upset at criticism of his partying ways - Yahoo! India News

From the article

"Harry, just like any member of the British Army, is upset by the suggestion that by enjoying a night out with colleagues he is showing a lack of respect. Does this mean everyone in the Army should be teetotal and avoid going out?" added the source."

I am not the source!

What a pathetic article! It's not about enjoying a night out but the way it's done. Yes, I call it disrespectful for a prince or an army member to go out bingedrinking and womanizing on a regular basis while being witnessed by the Yellow Press, even worse when, at the same time, other army members are out on duty and unfortunate enough to lose their lives. Harry must have been told about the consequences but it seems he doesn't understand. Why? No idea. He should be even more sensitive as he (and William) knew some of the soldiers personally who died on duty in the past months. Instead, both princes are in the headlines each day when either partying or buying the complete booze stock in a supermarket. It's ridiculous to complain on the one hand that their feelings are hurt by a Channel 4 programme that has been blown out of porportion when on the other hand they seem to have no sensibility or respect at all towards the feelings of their fellow servicemen / women, family or institutions such as British Army or Monarchy.

If Harry is going to be deployed his location is going to have to be kept secret;otherwise,the press reports will tip off kidnapping-minded terrorists and Harry won't get his chance to serve.Harry really does want to serve;because of the Hewitt-related gossip,he's been throwing himself into his training to escape.So,he should get his chance to serve.

I think we can attribute the salacious quotes to the reporter rather than the girl concerned!

With Harry safely ensconced in Canada we'll take the opportunity to move threads.
