Another potential banana skin?

Jonathan Ross hopes to interview Prince Harry

The end of the article suggests there's no official plans as yet.

 

[Opal]

I'm a little skeptical if Harry's reps denied even being contacted about it.
It could be Jonathan is just trying to drum up publicity for his new show.

 

[CrownPrincess5]

Jonathan Ross?
Is he popular in the UK?

Jonathan Ross?
Is he popular in the UK?

He has had a very high profile & his chat show on the BBC regularly attracted A1 celebs. BUT he got himself in "a spot of trouble" last year leading to a temporary ban on air. He then made a return to broadcasting at the BBC a few months, but has recently terminated his contract & is likely to relaunch his career working for an alternative TV station. He is a skilled interviewer, who has a very relaxed/informal style, but he is always likely to "push" a guest into making a "naughty" comment - he would love to interview Harry!

A "drink-spattered T-shirt"? All I see is underarm perspiration. The DM is really reaching on this one.

To be fair to the DM here, there is a large arm across the front of his T-shirt where it is more likely that a drink spill would have happened and thus it might be there but no on the photo we have.

 

[Mermaid1962]

Possibly. Perhaps there'll be a better photo in another paper.

 

[Lumutqueen]

If you read some of the comments at the bottom, some of them our quite funny like

"Cor ! His grand dad won't half be mad, when he sees the young man has nicked his best hat for the night.
- mick blair, thailand, 27/8/2010"

Most of them talk about how he's always going clubbing and never doing anything useful, one even says he shouldn't fly apache helicopters because he comes from a "broken home".

He hasn't been out in a while and I'm glad he's celebrating.

 

[Helen Anna]

^hahaha the comments are indeed funny!

To be fair to the DM here, there is a large arm across the front of his T-shirt where it is more likely that a drink spill would have happened and thus it might be there but no on the photo we have.

That's one way to look at it. It also could be that DM is taking liberty to say that because his arm is covering him, so who can dispute them?
The DM posted the photo. If they saw a photo showing the drink spill, then surely they would have used that one to prove it.

In the photo posted with The Sun article, there is clearly something spilled on the back of PH's shirt.

 

[Opal]

Well, Harry would have to be pretty flexible to spill on the back of his shirt.
Or perhaps he tossed his drink over his shoulder.

HA! Evidence that he really IS hooked on yoga!

HA! Evidence that he really IS hooked on yoga!

Either that or he is secretly part owl.

 

[Sereta]

You can barely see any spots on his shirt. I think the Daily Mail is really stretching on this one.
Congratulations to Harry on passing his exams!

 

[Sereta]

At least he doesn't look drunk, he just looks very happy. Congrats to him!!

Daily Star: Simply The Best 7 Days A Week :: News :: Prince Harry anger at Ms Dynamite's army 'terrorist' diss

We revealed last week the pair would appear on a music talent show with DJ Goldie. But the prince has been angered by revelations that the former So Solid Crew vocalist once described his comrades as terrorists.

Today this newspaper publishes disturbing evidence of Harry committing animal cruelty by drawing blood from the flank of a polo pony with his spurs.

---------------------

The only picture currently online is a small copy of the cover of today's Express.

 

[Mermaid1962]

This is the first time I've heard of a polo player drawing blood like that. Does anyone else know of this happening with other players?

Prince Harry has always had an "edge", no pun intended. His lack of restraint could get him in serious, serious trouble someday.

I hope that the pony got some treatment and didn't develop an infection.

Today this newspaper publishes disturbing evidence of Harry committing animal cruelty by drawing blood from the flank of a polo pony with his spurs.

 

[Zonk]

Prince Harry was accused of animal cruelty yesterday after his horse suffered a bloody injury during a polo match.
He was photographed riding a pony that appeared to have been stabbed in the flank by his spurs.
An onlooker claimed that the 25-year-old prince continued to ride his horse while blood was visible on its flank, but St James’s Palace said he stopped playing as soon as the injury was spotted.
Animal welfare groups accused Harry of being ‘heartless’.

I hope that Harry is exhonorated after an investigation--as long as the investigation is fair.

[Dierna23]

That's awful. These spurs should be forbidden and I hope it was only an 'accident' from Harry's side.

 

[Empress Merel]

The spurs are no wheels or tiny blades but a horse can only get a wound like that from too long and too excessive abuse of the spur. Spurs shouldn't be worn in a polo match anyway. The horse is already wired up from the game and will respond before Harry even realises it.

 

[LetThemEatCake]

The photos make me sad, and I really dont want to imagine Harry using his spurs as 'abuse' on the horse.

I, too, hope it was accidental.

 

[CrownPrincess5]

That is sad, but I'm sure Harry is devastated.
It's weird how a lot of his horses are getting hurt.

 

[ZaJa]

They seem to be giving the impression that Harry is ok with it. How would they know he even saw the wound while riding? It's not a pretty thing to see and I do feel for the animal but to call him cruel is a bit much.

 

[Dierna23]

Well, if he did it on purpose and if, as EmpressMerel pointed out, the wound comes from too extensive abuse, then I find it quite cruel. But that's just my opinion...

 

[Sereta]

I doubt Harry would intentionally be cruel to his horse. I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt. The press is going to obviously be negative about it. It's curious why the photos are only now showing up now (2 mos later) from this polo game in Berkshire.
