AIBU to find it impossible NOT to have a sneaky crush?

Like pretty much every grown woman in America, apparently...

Blush

Only a few years ago I was openly mocking a friend for her minor obsession with him.

And oh god I have just realised my mum fancies him too... Blush Blush

Apart from colouring obviously, Harry's resemblance to Charles is remarkable, can't see how there's doubt about his parentage.

Like the baby born as a result of the Boris Becker broom cupboard 'liason' . He denied paternity, they showed a picture of the baby, which was literally a mini and very cute replica of BB; it was so ridiculous that he denied it.

He calls people who wear turbans "rag heads"
Uses the term "paki"
I think it's pretty much accepted he is JHs child isn't it?
He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever IMO.

livinginwonderland · 10/05/2013 11:42

he looks so much like charles, i'm not sure how people can still argue that he's got a different father.

worldgonecrazy · 10/05/2013 11:54

There is a photo of Prince Phillip at a similar age and he definitely takes after his Grandfather.

There is definitely something wickedly sexy about him.

ScumbagCollegeDropout · 10/05/2013 11:58

I shagged someone who looks like him.

I was drunk and desperate for a shag though...

squoosh · 10/05/2013 12:04

'wickedly sexy'

I think he's probably ok underneath... some idiotic remarks and behaviour which he's apologised for and is probably hideously embarassed by. Army banter and public school entitlement do seem vile if you are not part of that environment though.

I also think it must be so hard to do your growing up under a microscope, knowing that the press in particular are waiting for you to fuck up and leap on your mistake with glee and tell the world about it - whereas if you are an ordinary Tim Nice-But-Dim no one else except your social circle finds out about it.

SirChenjin · 10/05/2013 12:07

If he didn't have the money or the status that he has no-one would give him a second glance - he'd just be one more drunken sunburned Brit on the Costas vomiting in the street. Far too many people are easily impressed by a bit of royalty.

SilverOldie · 10/05/2013 12:09

I don't think his parentage is in doubt, he takes after Diana's family, he looks like her sisters.

He has said and done some stupid things but I think he's ok now he's grown up a bit.

squoosh · 10/05/2013 12:11

He's not as bad as his Uncle Andrew I'll say that much.

DontmindifIdo · 10/05/2013 12:15

Agree woth siliverOldie- if I did'nt know he was Diana's DS but was shown a photo of him and a photo of each of hte Spencer sisters and told to guess who's child he was, i'd say he was the DS of Lady Sarah thingy.

But yes, also have a bit of a crush on him. He's growing into his looks, actually does hold down a useful job, looks v sexy in uniform and has the air of a man who's really a very good shag. and has £10m in the bank from his mother's estate

ClartyCarol · 10/05/2013 12:17

He'd be good to go for a pint with? Unless you're under 25, white, slim, blonde, thick and minted then I suspect he wouldn't go within a mile of you, never mind deign to have a pint with you.

And I'm sure that's not him in that photo.

seeker · 10/05/2013 12:18

Well, if you like going for pints with racist gits.

ClartyCarol · 10/05/2013 12:21

Racist gits / overprivileged tosspots.

LtEveDallas · 10/05/2013 12:23

Seeker, are you aware of what the recipient of the 'paki friend' quote used to call his friend Prince Harry?

seeker · 10/05/2013 12:24

I don't care.

Lottapianos · 10/05/2013 12:25

I'm sure he's an enormous tosser and none too bright with it. I could imagine him propping up the bar of some posh git private members club, chortling at racist anecdotes and referring to women as 'fillies' and 'totty'.

I probably still would though, if I was plastered. But I would hate myself in the morning, for all sorts of reasons, so probably not worth it. I'm a bit of a fool for posh boys Blush

seeker · 10/05/2013 12:26

Anyone who can emerge from Eton with minimal GSSEs and A levels must, actually, be extremely thick indeed!

LtEveDallas · 10/05/2013 12:28

I don't care

Ahh yes, because it's too easy just to think the worst of someone, without any actual knowledge of them.

OK, all cool Smile

DomesticCEO · 10/05/2013 12:28

His mother's brains and his father's looks.

What a catch Hmm.

As others have said if he wasn't a prince you wouldn't like twice.

But then I don't get the fuss about his big brother other. Equally unappealing.

DomesticCEO · 10/05/2013 12:29

Dallas, as seeker said he had the best education money can by and achieved utterly crap grades - bright he ain't!

rambososcar · 10/05/2013 12:30

Oh be honest, Harry's a dim little Kraut, LtEve, you can't defend him!

LtEveDallas · 10/05/2013 12:33

Dallas, as seeker said he had the best education money can by and achieved utterly crap grades - bright he ain't

Actually the Pilots exams that he took and absolutely smashed would tell another story, but it's OK, you don't want to hear that.

I agree with seeker! The Nazi thing is unforgivable tbh.
