You need to widen your circle of acquaintances. You might be "actually in the uk", but you don't actually speak for everyone there.

Maybe the club kids and habitual drinkers think he's the bee's knees, but it grates on people who work hard just to barely make ends meet to see those born to privilege behaving like ... well, drunken lords. Most of us can only dream of offering our children the opportunities the monarch's grandchildren take for granted, and our children will work infinitely harder to maintain a much less luxurious lifestyle. If Beatrice and Eugenie want to hit the pub after classes during the day and studying at night, they can go and have fun and no one cares. But they are living like celebutantes, and that doesn't generate respect considering the tremendous heritage they represent. Why doesn't Beatrice campaign for dyslexic children? Something beyond a once-a-year appearance. If she and Eugenie spent a few hours per month supporting and calling attention to the needs of kids with learning disorders they could use their ranks for something more meaningful than skipping the queue at a popular club. William and Harry have our respect for their commitment to their military careers, and no one cares if they get toasted with their friends. But lets not overstate Harry's popularity. Those who were great admirers of Diana tend to be the ones who fall into the "they can do no wrong" camp. As much as I liked Diana, Harry has left quite a bit to be desired. The Nazi uniform, falling drunk into a gutter, taking a swing at a photographer, a photo of him groping a friend's breasts, etc. I'm rooting for Harry to grow into a good man, but let's not gloss the reality and pretend he's something he's not.
