Hoaxers Hit On Prince Harry

[naomi24]

From this story it would appear that Harry is either incredibly naïve - or just thick.

Your thoughts?

There was an earlier thread on this, Mucky Sun, earlier in the week.

[SparklyKid]

"Thick" readily springs to mind.

[georgesgirl]

A little bit of both.

[Old_Geezer]

Maybe just more trusting than someone in his position needs to be.

[AuntPollyGrey]

I think he's naïve. He's been protected from real life. I bet he's never had a scam cold call in his life as the security around him will vet his calls. The fault lies totally in his security and I would be reviewing it if I was him.

[Old_Geezer]

Do his calls get filtered, especially now he's opted out of royal invitations ?

[georgesgirl]

I thought it was hilarious.

[Theland]

"Who's on the phone Hirreeee?"

"Just Greta calling from Switzerland."

"Gee. Do I know hurrr?"

Weird that its Harry getting stick, when nobody is mentioning what a couple of *** the hoaxers are.

The guy was open, trusting and poured his heart out (to an extent, at least). He strikes me as someone who could do with a good friend to confide in.

[Theland]

Mozz - He could have lots of friends right here on Answerbank.

[naomi24]

//The guy was open, trusting //

But surely with his upbringing he shouldn't be.

[Khandro]

I think the Russian thickos need to get a life. I'm no great fan of Harry, but he's got enough problems without this *** to cope with.

[Mozz71]

//He could have lots of friends right here on Answerbank.//

Haha I don't think he would last five minutes.

//But surely with his upbringing he shouldn't be.//

Maybe not, but it isn't a trait he should be attacked for.

[naomi24]

He's being discussed - he's a public figure - but he's not being 'attacked'. I find it rather odd that he says he's concerned for his family's security - and I've no doubt he is - and yet he does something like this without a security check in sight.

[Mozz71]

//He's being discussed - he's a public figure - but he's not being 'attacked'.//

While I get your point...

//or just thick.//

...is a bit of an attack. A dig at least.

[pixie374]

It's all a bit apparently, allegedly, claimed... hopefully he will be more careful in future, anyway.

[naomi24]

Mozz, //or just thick.//

...is a bit of an attack. A dig at least. //

No, it's a valid question. I don't think he's been sensible. Do you?

[Mozz71]

Not really, but a error in judgement is a long way from being 'thick'.

[Theland]

Wait until some undercover reporter lures him or the Markel into an unsuspecting deal. It will happen I'm sure.

[naomi24]

Speaking as he has to complete strangers an error of judgement? That's not what I'd call it.
