Row over 'Nazi' remarks casts shadow over D-Day commemoration

The row over the Prince of Wales's alleged comparison of Vladimir Putin with Adolf Hitler deepened when the Russian president responded with his own withering assessment of the heir to the throne.

Prince Charles is a bit of a bumbling fool these days, Normandy sounds like it is going to be pretty awkward for him..

Admittedly he does do very good things for the world but I can't help but feel he has lost touch with the majority of the British public.
I am sure the polls probably say otherwise.

I say make Prince Harry the next King, he is a cheeky lad!!!
