Prince Hal
By Manolo the Shoeblogger
Manolo says, nothing says, “I am in the lineage of Arthur, Henry, Edward, and George” as much as snorting vodka through your nose with your mates.
Unless, of the course, you recall Henry IV, Part One…
So, when this loose behaviour I throw off
And pay the debt I never promised,
By how much better than my word I am,
By so much shall I falsify men’s hopes;
And like bright metal on a sullen ground,
My reformation, glittering o’er my fault,
Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
Than that which hath no foil to set it off.
I’ll so offend, to make offence a skill;
Redeeming time when men think least I will.
Although this supposes that young Harry Wales is not simply the randy-boozy, frat-boy jackass he appears to be.

I like this bit: “… for wisdom cries out in the streets, and no man regards it.” Meaning of course all those nannyish remarks about how snorting vodka can damage his brain. What need will he ever have of it?

It’s funny, but I often wondered if young Prince Harry will turn out to be like Prince Hal. If so, there’s still hope for him, yet.

I like the kid, yet I fear he will end up marrying Paris Hilton. Please let him pick some barmaid out of Croyden instead.

Come to think of it, if he’s giving himself hickies with wineglasses NOW, he’s probably going to.

Okay, okay, but have you seen this?

Can’t these boys have *any* privacy?

To get technical, there have been so many lines dying out and outsiders being brought in to rule England that I *think* you can only get the line of Edward (the relatively recent ones) and George (Hanoverian and later) but not Arthur or Henry…

That’s GOTTA hurt….
