    Apparently some crocodiles have rung in to complain about being likened to Camilla.

      Al Fayed is just a paranoid nutjob. Even if he was right does he think there will be any proof to substantiate it, seeing as it would probably destroy the monarchy (William and Henry wouldn't be too happy would they!)? He just makes himself look a fool.

        Psst. Harry is a diminutive of Henry, as in "Henry Charles Albert David".

          oops, looks like you learn something new every day... I had always assumed is was a diminutive of Harold (as in one in the eye Harold in 1066).

          That'll learn me to make assumptions hey....

            I find it strange why they named him Henry yet call him Harry. Why not just name him Harry? Too much stiff upper lip?

              Gotcha.

              I only remembered his real name because it seemed strange at the time that he was named one thing but immediately called something else.

              Why don't they call William Bill?

                Because "King Harry I" is just wrong.

                Mind you, there's something strange about "King Charles III" too.

                  Harry is the English version of the French pronunciation of Henry plus it's a nickname unless you are common, which the Royal's pretend not to be.

                    Slim chance of Harry being king. Looks like there's a slim chance of anyone being king. Ole grotbags isn't one for handing over the corgis is she.

                      I'm sure his mum has plans to outlive him.
