...Despite a long naval career and his more recent efforts as Britain's special representative for trade and investment, he has never quite shaken off his reputation as a playboy prince. The same fate threatened Harry until his star turn in the theater of war recast him as a hero and champion recruiter for Britain's armed forces. Just a few nights on the tiles could dent his new-minted image. It would be normal behavior for any young soldier on R&R, but normality isn't and can never be the province of princes...

Indeed, they have at times encouraged it. For example, Michelle Obama recently said that she would “have to think about” supporting Hillary, if she emerged as the Democratic candidate, a statement which bordered on treason from the perspective of the Democratic Party. The campaign also sent out the Black...
