What they said about … Prince Harry

Anna Pukas, Daily Express, on Prince Harry’s visit to Jamaica: “What would he be like in the Caribbean, what with the heat and all that rum punch? Would he behave himself? No wonder the mandarins were feeling anxious.”

Ian Hollingshead & Gordon Rayner, Daily Telegraph: “He has none of his father’s awkwardness or his older brother’s more sober sense of restricted responsibility and he has inherited his mother’s ability to talk on the same level to both crowds and kings. He is a plucky, warm–hearted and wonderfully irreverent embodiment of the best of Britain’s younger generations.”

Catherine Ostler, Daily Mail: “At some point in the future, we will see Harry the loose cannon again, misbehaving in a bar or acting as if he’s on a stag night. But with any luck we will also continue to realise that this carefree soul, this pilot Prince, can make a first-class royal ambassador, too.”

Marina Hyde, Guardian: “By now, you should have realised that if you haven’t been enjoying every second of Harry’s emergence as An Absolute Bloody Card then there’s something wrong with you both as a subject in a Diamond Jubilee year, and as a human being generally.”

Eva-Jean, Jamaica Observer: “The British media can drop their description of Prince Harry as Harry the Potter and now dub him Harry the Posterboy, after his wildly successful Jamaica trip. The visit has been quite the shot in the arm for the monarchy.”
