87. Okay, "forget" about that little thing called the Holocaust
He is third in line to the throne, and many British were killed during WW II by Nazi bombs, and many more fought in the war and on the home front. Including his grandparents and his great grandparents. The East End was destroyed, Coventry was destroyed. So many soldiers were killed in combat. England was economically destroyed for half a generation after the war. For this reason if no other, he should never have done it.

He is old enough to know better. At 20, all I did was drink, shag, and get stoned, and I would never have done this. I have alot of Jewish friends, and my grandfathers and one great-grandfather fought in combat during WW II.

And, for those who say he didn't ask to act as a Representative of the Royal Family, you're right. However, he could step out of the line of succession, and let Prince Andrew move up a space. Other current have done it.

"Boys will be boys" is no longer an acceptable defense to me.
