He said so in very polite terms.
Plus the Prince didn't have him beheaded on the spot, which is very gentlemanly considering the history of royalty.

Horrible headline, the guy was ribbing him for being a chopper pilot. I'd say that was more like mutual respect.
William seems like a good sort to me, as does his brother.

Harry seems like a good guy, he was partying in AZ and a friend was able to party with him. He seemed quite down to earth and wanting to be one of the guys.

If it was just some royal, he probably wouldn't have felt comfortable doing that.
Since he was a fellow pilot, he felt comfortable in some cross-service ribbing that he's also a veteran of, nothing more.

There was a guy on this forum some years ago who said something like ..."helicopters can't really fly, they are just so ugly that the earth repels them"
As an aerodynamicist and armchair physicist I can fully support this hypothesis.

The Jedi Master It's like when I meet a fellow soldier, I talk crap about them being a leg, or bond with them being a paratrooper. That said, it's never done in anger or spite. Just like I talk crap to a Marine and yet would happily go to war with them...Now the Air Force...Unless they are CAC or PJ, please don't let them leave the wire...
