Students these days

If this is a real essay, I'll eat my hat. However, it is hilarious and should be read, marked, learned, and inwardly digested by all.

Those merry Windsors

Well, according to the Sun here in the UK, the world is reeling at Prince Harry's wearing a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress (=costume) party. I, for one, am not surprised, nor am I shocked. While these boys are in the public eye, they are also (by common admission) not the brightest bulbs in the chandelier. Inbreeding, plus moneyed upbringing, often produces thoughtless aristocrats.

I think there's a wider question here: should costume shops actually be selling Nazi uniforms? If it's wrong for him to wear one, it should equally be wrong for everyone else.

While I hold no brief for the Royal Family, carbuncles on the rump of Britain as they are, it's unfair to castigate Harry alone for this--the only establishments that should be selling Nazi uniforms are those that supply theatrical and cinematic costumes for plays and films about the Nazi era. Other than that, let's stick to fairies, sprites, cardinals, and other such merrier disguises.
