<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Queen backs Charles' actions over Prince Harry


The Queen supports the way the Prince of Wales handled Prince Harry's cannabis smoking and underage drinking, Buckingham Palace said today.

While the Queen shares Charles' concerns over the serious nature of the revelations, she hopes the matter can now be closed, the palace commented.

&quot;The Queen shares the Prince of Wales's views on the seriousness of Prince Harry's behaviour and supports the action which has been taken,&quot; Buckingham Palace said.
&quot;She hopes the matter can now be considered as closed.&quot;

Charles sent 17-year-old Harry to a drug rehabilitation clinic to warn him of the dangers after discovering he had taken drugs at Highgrove and at private parties, and allegedly drank alcohol at the Rattlebone Inn, Sherston, Wiltshire.

The Queen is the latest to add her support to Charles, who has been praised by Prime Minister Tony Blair and drugs support groups.

Police have refused to rule out taking action against Prince Harry saying he would be treated &quot;exactly the same way&quot; as any other youngster following the revelations. </div></div>

From the above it's obvious that Harry was being adventurous as a teenager like most &quot;underage&quot; boys at the time. I did some of what he did and a lot more that I wont reveal here.. Us guys who can relate should be thankful that we were not spied on because we were &quot;royalty&quot; The Queen had to say and do what she did ! Afterrall she had to uphold the dignity of the monarchy..

Now he's a grown man and with the passing of time, his family and the British people have come to terms with Harry and whatever he wants to do.. I would be very surprised if the FAMILY didn't discuss what the trip would be like, put him on notice knowing very well that he is a FUN Guy, and asked him to tone it down however much he could, as the world will be watching.. That should be enough for the rest of us, let the Prince enjoys the Caribbean, especially Jamaica..

Hi Q, Something could very well happen in Jamaica, but I think by now, he would have been wisened up as to the pit falls he may encounter there.. Jamaica is still under the Monarchy which should imply that some &quot;input&quot; from THEM as to the limits we should apply to their precious Prince.. He will be allowed to have FUN but how much can he have in 2days? Harry needs about a week to let his hair down!!! That will be a restriction, since they have all kinda ceremonial duties lined up for him.. I hope he gets the opportunity to meet some of our home bred Blondes and a few of our beautiful darkies whenever they have the BALL.. Seventh Day Adventis GG, not- with- standing...

Govt backtracks on media guidelines for Prince's visit
BY NADINE WILSON Observer staff reporter [email protected]

Saturday, March 03, 2012






LOCAL journalists covering Prince Harry's four-day visit to Jamaica will be provided with a bus and safety vests, following concerns that the international press was being given preferential treatment for coverage of the royal visit.

Minister with responsible for Information Sandrea Falconer made the announcement yesterday, a day after local media representatives were told at a press briefing at Jamaica House that they would need to get their own vests in order to gain access to the tarmac at the Norman Manley International Airport (NMIA) in Kingston, where the prince is scheduled to arrive Monday evening.



During the press briefing, Public Relations Manager in the Office of the Prime Minister Gwyneth Davidson said that only journalists from the approximately 57 international media houses accredited could be guaranteed safety vests, since the airport did not have enough for everyone.

The news angered local journalists who also questioned why a bus was assigned by the Ministry of Tourism to take around international media representatives but no such arrangement was made for the local media. They expressed concern that they would be put at a disadvantage in covering some of the events planned for the Prince's visit, since there was no definitive parking arrangements made for the press.

But in a statement yesterday, Falconer said neither her nor Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller was aware of such arrangements and made a commitment that safety vests would be provided by the NMIA as well as a bus for local reporters wanting transportation to adequately cover the visit.

&quot;The local press is important to our democracy and we must treat them with respect and no less than we will treat international journalists,&quot; said the minister.

Re: $3,000,000 for Prince Harry's spring break getaway

@ wanting vests

as a local journalist, I would want to be able to have the same special parking as international journalists

but I guess if them drive dem owna car as opposed to being in the offical motorcade, then they would miss out on photo opps if them get to the location late.

suh yeah I guess I see them point
