Prince Harry Never Attacked Photographer, Says Palace


Spokespeople for the British royal family are denying that Prince Harry went after a photographer in some kind of drunken rage outside a nightclub Saturday - despite images like the one above, which look suspiciously like pictures of a shit-faced Harry going after a photographer. Said the royal lackey:

There was no aggression intended, there was no confrontation and everyone was laughing about it at the time. ... It was one of those things – he came out of the club, they got entangled and he lost his footing.

Right. And Prince Charles isn't a jug-eared, in-bred freak.

Actually, in defence of the official denial, there is the testimony of the photographer himself, who also claims that there was no undue violence on Harry's part. Said the photog:

[Harry has] come out, he's trying to go to the car, we're parallel, I'm slightly in front of him, he literally gives me a push to get me out of the way. ... [The prince swore at him but] it wasn't an aggressive way of saying fuck off. He obviously doesn't like the paparazzi.

So everyone's going out of their way to insist that Harry meant no harm. He was definitely drunk though. Said the photographer:

If he wasn't drunk, he'd have kept his balance, but because he'd been drinking he's lost his balance, he's gone down.

Well, I certainly hope it was drunkenness that caused Harry to lose his balance. Anyone who looks like this and isn't drunk, well, that person better get to a doctor:



Anyway, Harry's entitled to his spot of fun. In a few weeks he'll be in Iraq, not taking pot-shots at innocent civilians.
