Guardian Writer Very Angry With Prince Harry’s Photo

It seems like some folks have a bee in their bonnet when it comes to Prince Harry. A seemingly innocuous photo was enough to set one man on a rant of epic proportions.

Do you guys have that one mate who reads waaaay too much into every picture, article and word? You know, the one that thinks everything has more layers than a genetically-modified onion. They are often the miserable type, prone to rants and alienating people. Meet Jonathan Jones.

Jones happened across a photo of Prince Harry taking a photo of a Lesotho herder. The same Prince Harry whose charity supports a school for Aids orphans in the area. Jones then scrunched his panties into a wad, pulled out his typewriter and went nuts. Some excerpts from his Guardian piece below:

What is wrong with this picture? Where to start? It is a specious salmagundi of complacent assumptions and frightening arrogance…

The polarity here between a recipient and giver of charity is so archaic and insulting you wonder how anyone can keep a straight face. It truly is the rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate…

It is a staged, prettified version of rural Africa carefully selected so as not to be distressing.

The good news here is that no one has bitten. In fact, a brief look at the comments sections both here and here show that he has been called out as something of a drama queen. Must we really scrutinise so closely everything that poor ‘ol Harry does? To place such a burden on every aspect of his life is unfair, really.

One feels that this Mr. Jones may require a little lie down, coupled with a nice relaxing poo.
