I feel sorry for the blokes who are the butt of the royal princes and their so called -'matey' nick names. Of course, the blokes (Messrs 'Paki' and 'Sooty' respectively) are going to say that they don't mind the names one bit, actually finding them both jolly good knee slapping jests. It would be career suicide for for the two of them if they did speak out against the names.
Can you imagine what damage it would do to the soldiers career if he did say 'actually i find that nick name demeaning and insulting, i wish the prince would stop it because i hate it and find it degrading?' the poor bugger would never get beyond cleaning the barracks toilets with his toothbrush, he has no choice but to smile and say 'funny jape whatto!' if he wants to get anywhere in the army above the rank of boot shiner.
And what about Charles mate, the one he so laughingly calls sooty? I'm sure that he wouldn't find too many invites to any more champers and canapés luncheons at the polo club falling through his letter box if he went weeping to the press to tell them how insulted and sickened he was by the label.
Lobbing a morsel of history into the fray, these names did originate in the dim dark days of empire past when the royals ruled over the lands of these men's birth, and the names like the ones above were part of the psychological pressure placed on the natives to 'keep them in their place', Who said the royals have modernized? Besides, whats the use of being a prince in the ruling royal family if "one cant call ones subjects by any name one bloody well pleases?" Or, maybe secretly they're 'Renaissance' princes who hark back to the days of glory when the sun never set and the map was...etc etc etc..Yawn..etc.
"Mates joking" aside bet the soldier bloke cant question Harry's parentage in the same way Harry chucks the names around, and what if Charles mate were to publicly take the piss out of Charles' lust for removing tampons with his teeth? Eh? What then eh?
