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 .

Agreed.
I was responding to Zizu who seemed to be under the impression that Harry didn’t engage in blood sports unlike other Royals, when he definitely did; and Glenn who got his dates wrong (he thought the article was more recent.)

Would you have killed a buffalo at 19 though? I would say not. It’s a despicable sport that has been passed down through the centuries in aristocratic families, but even if I was a member of one of those families I couldn’t do it. I honestly can’t even kill a fly.
