So what do you suggest be done? Apparently, Prince Charles is clear on what should be done. He is reported to be seriously cheesed off about this. Both sons will be paying an unglamorous visit to Auschwitz shortly to Learn A Thing Or Two. Sounds like a nice start. Oh, and we now know how it is that his guards/advisors let him go out looking like that. He wore a coat over the costume, which obscured the offending insignia. Makes sense. Kinda shows he knew he was doing the wrong thing. Ah, well. Look on the bright side. He wasn't caught on film sucking someone's toes!  Cindy -- wondering how much the tabloids pay for a picture like that

I agree , the Prince of Wales decision to send the two lads on a cultural sensitivity tour to Auschwitz is probably a good start. While in the area they ought to take a side trip to Kyiv (formerly Kiev) and visit the memorial at  Babi Yar [/b] where the SS machine gunned 33,000 resident Jews over the space of two days. Over the ensuing months the Nazis then processed the local Ukrainian and Russian population in the same ravine. In total 100,000 victims were slaughtered there.
