Roll Out the Red Carpet, Harry is Here

It's official, Prince Harry's first official trip to the U.S. has officially begun! As you can see he's already visited Ground Zero, talked with firefighters, and has christened the British Memorial Garden at Hanover Square (which actually isn't all that amazing). The AP noted that when he emerged "into the sunlight where the towers once stood. He glanced upwards, seemingly taking in the enormity of the structures felled in the attack, and said simply, 'Wow'." However, while looking at the rebuilding plans for the WTC site, he asked, "Big question—when is this supposed to be finished?" Patience, dear prince.

We'll update with more photos as they come in, and encourage you to send in your own pics should you find yourself in his royal presence (especially when he's not out partying tonight).

Just wondering as I did not see this firsthand... is "christened the British Memorial Garden at Hanover Square" a polite euphemism?

I was really excited about Harry's visit...

He got his title and position strictly by accident of birth. Whoopdeedoo. The Founding Fathers knew that royalty was a joke.

The Founding Fathers knew the Royal family are parasites. Yet so many Americans fawn over them, like flies on shit.

"Prince Harry, scaring little girls"

Put him on the sexual predators watch list. He has to register with the police.

I believe that this is the launch of a devious plan by the Brits to reclaim and retake the colonies and Canada. I bet the Canadians will fold like Time Sq. lawn chairs when the imminent British invasion begins.
