That would be terrible if Harry was to flunk Sandhurst. It is a big challenge for him. The army is about the only place people would see him fit, he has to succeed.

I hope he doesn't flunk, either. If Harry does flunk Sandhurst, I would hope he walks away with a little more discipline under his belt. Maybe he will straighten up some.

He's already managed to get through his first session and is on break now. Harry has already made it further than Edward did in his training.

It is an old tradition to 'translate' the names of foreign royals in such a way, although it has almost disappeared in English. It was quite common to talk about Kaisers William II and Francis Joseph in the beginning of the 20th century, and even now nobody calls Tsar Nicholas II Nikolai. And the present King of Spain is John Charles... :)

Interesting, I did not knew that. How do you translate Kaiser? King or Emperor or something else?
John Charles is pretty ugly IMO

I'm a Russian, but both we and the Englishmen translate Kaiser as Emperor (Imperator in Russian).

Russia has. We still speak about Queen Elizaveta II, for example, and France had a lot of Kings who were called Lyudovik. But for a reason hard to understand we never ever 'translated' the names of Iberian royals. :)

Harry stands for Henry so it must be Principe Enrique. Jose is for John IMO.

In Russia we called them William and Harry, like they are. But if they ascend the throne, they will be known here as Vilgelm V and Genrikh IX.

It kind of seems to me like Sandurst is a waste of time and money due to the fact that Harry (or any other name which you would like to call him in your native language) seems to want to get out of it.

Prince is Harry Otter
By DUNCAN LARCOMBE
Royal Correspondent


PRINCE Harry has spurned the chance of a romantic holiday with his girlfriend — to go on a diving course with fellow Army cadets.
The Prince’s mature decision to get stuck into more military matters impressed the Royal Family — and his Sandhurst instructors.

Good for him. Chelsy is probably very upset.

They criticize Harry to eat hamburgers





The Universal One
Thursday 25 of August of 2005

Prince Harry of England follows without fitting, apparently, in the image that the British public thinks that he must have the royalty.


Charlotte Wace, of 13 years, and their Ollie brother, of 12, declared in the edition of yesterday of the Daily Mail who saw the smaller son of prince Carlos, of 20 years, in the parking of a fast chain of food.

According to he sees himself in the photos that did, Harry was seated in the edge of the sidewalk eating a hamburger. "Pense ': God mine, is Harry, it assured Charlotte. "it was not seated right like a person of the royalty. It was thrown in the way and it ate very relaxed with the fingers. Part of the food fell to the ground. It was a shock, because in Plymouth it is not hoped to see people of the royalty, mainly not in a McDonald`s ", added.

The manager of the restaurant, Tom Moore, 23 years, assured that Harry requested a special supply by which one second hamburger of chicken is obtained free. "an order something tacaño for a member of the royalty", commented.



Together Dodi and Diana

A statue of the princess and its fiancè, Dodi To the Fayed will be exposed next in the Harrods warehouses of London.

The father of Dodi and owner of the establishment, Mohamed To the Fayed, confirmed that the titled sculpture innocent Victims, who were made on natural scale and in bronze by the artist Bit Mitchell, will be able to be seen in the next weeks in Harrods. The sculpture, that was shown the London press yesterday, represents Morning call and its sentimental companion taken from the hand and watching itself at the eyes under the flight of an albatross, bird that symbolizes the eternity and the good fortune.
