By the looks of it there is still another shoe to drop.
These cliff hangers are cruel re "Something pretty gigantic" .....now, for the hints of what could yet come, I do feel for all concerned.
The 'teaser' yes. I have begun to suspect that something happened that night that makes leaking all this 'easy' for the women. I wonder if in his attitude he pissed someone off.
He has partied in Britain, after all, where there is more respect and honoring (maybe is the word) of a royal person. No such respect and honoring is here in the US. He was partying among people for whom he was just one among many celebrity-types among a crowd. He perhaps conveys a sense of entitlement that just begs to be taken down a peg or two. Never know - might.
I doubt what gets revealed will shake anyone's 'faith' in him that are already enamored of him. It will, after all, be his business (if it is what I think it is). What remains the problem is his inability to gauge the peril to his privacy. But then, I think that was the point of not going back to Necker - he wanted the public venue - he was seeking it out. For his own reasons.
I can speak for my milieu - normally I just don't bother talking about my interest in royalty. This, however, has made the news on the major networks - and I have to say the view here seems to be laughter - not outrage. ("Well that didn't stay in Las Vegas.") When it gets mentioned there is disbelief - not in his actions but in that he allowed himself to be compromised publicly. Its assumed almost at once that he wanted to exhibit himself - no one can make out why it would happen otherwise. The most common and obvious question posed is: 'What was he on?'
The poll someone mentions is interesting. It reminds us ever more forcefully that we as a general society are not free of a crippling double standard. Someone here posted suggesting that these women will be migrating from Las Vegas to Tampa, Florida for the Republican National Convention. This is indicative of how the women at these parties get viewed. Harry is 'the lad' - the women are 'chicks' and 'ungrateful' and akin to 'loose' in a way I think you know what I mean.
The British propensity to rail against the infractions of Sarah, Duchess of York, or talk of royal women behaving in an un-royal way now rings very hollow. I doubt they would tolerate anything even close to this happening with Beatrice, say. One can only imagine the conversations that would take place if it were Beatrice caught naked and hugging strange men in suggestive poses.
I also think the wish of many posters for this not to be discussed at such length and depth is precisely because it is an embarrassment. They want it to go away - and I don't blame them. However, so it is, its a fascinating event. Sadly, Harry misjudged - he thought the Americans were like the British who will remain discreet regarding royal propensities. Nope.
