As for the inference that Harry is a bastard, well as far as I'm concerned the bloke has my respect for demanding that he stays with his unit, (therefore mates), when are deployed in Afghanistan.

As for the first, yes that's true, but I was referring to matters more domestic rather than political. The fact that marriage back then was also so highly politically charged has some bearing on your statement.

As to the second, I don't recall inferring that the good Prince Harry is a bastard. I am also very impressed by any officer, royal or not, that maintains loyalty for his military unit. I would gladly serve under such a man, unlike the current President of the United States, whom I would not willingly follow to a rock fight. You and your countrymen should be justifiably proud.
