Harryspeak and Army Training.

The British Royal Family is head of the Establishment over here. As such, its members are afforded the best education money can buy, and that educational system always pushes them out speaking English impeccably, albeit with a funny accent. Impeccably, that is, as defined by the Establishment.

Prince Harry is a member of the Royal Family. He’s currently third in line of succession, and so you’d expect him to speak as impeccably as the rest, wouldn’t you? Ah, but, Prince Harry has been in the army for a little while, and the army is a culture unto itself. When asked whether he’d fired on the enemy in Afghanistan, he replied in the affirmative and continued:

‘If there’s people trying to do bad stuff to our guys, then we’ll take them out of the game.’

It’s rumoured that he’s currently practicing the received inflections in the phrase ‘shit happens, man’ so that he can use it frequently and with confidence. I suppose it’s a belonging thing.
