Hum,
that`s supposed to be a secret...

Anyway, someone should have told him that Prince Philip/ queen are due to attend the holocaust remembrance ceremony in a week or so.

Hum,
come to think of it, i don’t know of anyone else, or heard of anyone, ever, having gone to a party dressed as a Nazi....

Is he the first?

Perhaps he just normally dresses that way?

Yeah,
Though I wouldn’t personally take any more offence to seeing a Nazi uniform than to a union jack.  But, I think the context, was that he didn’t really mean to cause any offence, nor do I think anyone actually was offended by that very reason.
But as a matter of course, and as a possible future king, he should (or been advised not to) have know better; in a purely `international` sense.
It just reflects badly on the UK.

As for "Sprrrrrringtime for Hit-ler and Germany....."
I still feel uneasy with Mel Brooks play.
It’s like throwing a big lunch do for starving mid west farmers.

For a farcical play it’s a bit decadent, in my opinion, though, that may be just due to Mels directing.

Not in the same vein as `dads army`, `black adders` (the last command) or `Oh what a lovely war`...

Sure, we should be reminded of the crass folly of the first/second war. The horrors stories of the maimed, burned and torn should be told.
But I prefer that the story is told as it was and not hidden behind `entertaining subplots`.
