I frankly don't give a toss what Prince William or Prince Harry do in their off time provided they fulfil their public duties at the correct time.

No what you prefer to do is pick on one case that apparently proves your point.

BTW the two lads are quite busy today.

You seem to be missing the point that on balance I'm fairly neutral - I don't hate the royals and do think the younger ones have simply been doing the sort of thing that many young people would do given the chance. That doesn't make it any the less silly though and nor does it mean that nothing they do is brave, worthwhile or positive. For the purposes of an interesting debate in a forum I simply posed a question based on a current situation which was in the news.

We're certainly able to have a debate on all the good works the royals do/don't do and since you're so wound up about it all I invite you to start one so you can see what my contribution is, hopefully then you'll be able to judge what I write rather than what you think I mean.
