What was he thinking?

Prince Harry. He is in hot water again. The 20 year old son of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, who cannot seem to stay out of the headlines, has found himself in the midst of the biggest "oops" ever. One has to wonder what he was thinking to wear a Nazi uniform to a costume party.

Watching Harry grow up, and after the death of his dear mother, I have seen from a distance how much this child needed to be cared for, and how he was acting out to get the attention his emotionally stunted father could not provide.

Now he is 20, a young 20. But he is more accountable for his actions.

What I personally have observed is that Harry is not a bad person, he is a very kind and gentle person, but a human being who was denied the mother he so very much loved, denied any authority or direction in his life, and has been crying out through his actions, to have someone notice him. Not as the "other brother", the "insignificant" brother.

His father is incapable of disciplining his sons. He was emotionally stunted by the strictness of a military father whom he could not relate too, and a mother who was not "hands on". So the Prince of Wales has not a clue how to raise two children whom I'm sure he was expecting his ex wife to raise to adulthood.

The problem with Harry and this latest faux paux, is that he is older, and given the family he was born into, should be a bit wiser. The poor Queen, who has worked so hard for 5 decades, has had a lot to bear over the past 25 years.

Still, it comes down to this niggling feeling I have, which is that Harry, will self destruct if he doesn't get himself on tract.

Maybe this is what was needed, for from the reports I'm hearing from England, this time, what Harry did isn't going to go away anytime soon.
