Hello magazine " a historic photoshoot with the prince"

[lambanana]

Please humour me and tell me that this should be "an historic ....."

I think it's optional: both are right.

OP is correct.

I thought so Nosey! Bang on the front of this weeks hello it is!

would have thought an historic, that's what i would write
what was historic about it?

Dont know - the whole thing was utter shite -flicked through it and thought what a waste of £1.50! Only bought it because it was on offer!

Yep. An historic. But I'm not sure why.....

lol
indescriminate use of 'historic' meaning photosnaps of gangly royal in primary colour cloting trying hard but still not looking relaxed
and not an 'an' in sight

And fairly liberal use of Grecian 2000.

How airbrushed is it? I looked at the cover and though 'he looks quite attractive there', but he doesn't really look like himself

I think it's "an historic" because it goes back to French. From wikipedia:

"The French language classifies words that begin with this letter in two ways that must be learned to use French properly, even though it is a silent letter either way. The h muet, or "mute h", is considered as though the letter were not there at all, so for example the singular definite article le or la is elided to l'. For example, le + hébergement becomes l'hébergement ('the accommodation'). The other kind of ?h? is called h aspiré ("aspirated h", though it is not normally aspirated phonetically), and is treated as a phantom consonant. For example in le homard ('the lobster') the article le remains unelided, and may be separated from the noun with a bit of a glottal stop. Most words that begin with an h muet come from Latin (honneur, homme) or from Greek through Latin (hécatombe), whereas most words beginning with an h aspiré come from Germanic (harpe, hareng) or non-Indo-European languages (harem, hamac, haricot); "

I'm a big pedant usually but even I can't be doing with all that. I say "a historic"!

Is that the issue where he has black hair btw? What's going on with that?
