It’s well known that both Harry and William enjoyed hunting in their youth, but given that this was nearly 20 years ago and they were barely out of their teens I just don’t think it’s all that relevant. People are allowed to change their stance on things and regret their past actions. I don’t think there’s anything at all to be gained from judging people on their actions decades ago. That goes for both of them by the way, I’m not just “defending Harry”.

In 2004 I was 19 years old and god help me if people start judging me today based on the things I did and said at 19 .
