The Sun takes time off from slagging off the Labour Party, at least from its front page, to report the news that “Harry and Cressie (are) back on.” I confess that I have no idea who Cressie is, but apparently she has dumped her boyfriend and she is back in a relationship with Harry Windsor. Well, well, well! Who knew, but more importantly, who cares?
Sun readers must care, for sure, otherwise why would they otherwise buy Rupert Murdoch’s tawdry rag, but I am at a loss to understand why. It could be that, according to some fine investigative journalism, whilst Harry and Cressie (Princess Cressie?) left a party to celebrate his 31st birthday, they ended up at the same place. I think we know what the Sun is saying here. Bonking. The Sun is suggesting, albeit by going round the houses, that Harry got his royal leg over. I am shocked to my very foundations.
Can you really imagine a young man and a young woman in the real world, away from the tabloid headlines, who fancy each other and so engage in intimate activities? That would be an outrage, wouldn’t it?
This, like so much else in the Sun, represents news for voyeurs. I’m only surprised that they didn’t arrange for a photographer with one of those long range lenses to get some snaps of Harry and Cressie arriving and then having a kiss and a cuddle, as my grandparents would have put it.
This is hardly a scandal, is it, and it’s surely not news, either. I am no royalist by any stretch of the imagination but at the same time I have nothing against the royal family as individuals, except Prince Charles, perhaps. How long before the Sun can get back to what it does best, slagging off Jeremy Corbyn?
