"I generally don't like England that much." (Prince Harry, third in line to the English throne)

I think naming names is acceptable in this case, don't you? ;-)

Well, I'm sure it's in the public domain already.

That said, is there any particular reason why he shouldn't dislike England? And if he does dislike England (which he has a perfect right to do), why shouldn't he be honest about it? Another [-] from me I'm afraid.

As a possible (probable?) future king, he's expected to act as ambassador for the country and to sing its praises.

Maybe by some people, but I'm not much of a royalist personally, and I don't think they should be obliged to have particular opinions purely because of who they are.

Me neither - but it's what they're expected to do in return for the money they get from the civil list. To me, it's much like a baker refusing to bake bread.

Nah, we pay to maintain them because they're a quaint national treasure, much like a cathedral, or a nature reserve. Or a kind of living museum. :)

er...by which I mean, a stupid thing to say.

I still reckon they'd pay their way a lot better if we beheaded one of them annually in Trafalgar Square and charged the Yanks and Japanese £100,000 each to watch.

Heck, I'd watch that. I should make it clear that no-one in England likes the royals much - it's only the foreigners who don't have to pay for them who enjoy the soap opera that they provide.
