Give Trump a chance, says Harry.

Thanks to the dreadfully indiscreet and rather overwhelming father of Megan Markle, Thomas Markle, Prince Harry apparently believes Brexit is an experiment and everyone should give Donald Trump a chance. While neither of these confidential remarks to his father-in-law mean a huge amount, they will probably embarrass Theresa May on the one hand, and amuse Trump on the other. There's nothing like getting any form of approval from a member of the British Royal Family! Although, to be fair, I don't expect Trump really cares one way or the other. Yet he now knows that when he makes his visit to London next month he might have one potential friend in the rows of people preparing to shake his hand. Thomas Markle I suppose can't be castigated for revealing confidental chats with his son-in-law over the phone. He is probably unaware of the fortress-like protocol that normally governs every move made and every word spoken by any member of the Royal Family. But this new peripheral member of the family sounds like he is going to be a constant thorn in the royal flesh. Prince Harry will have to mind what he says to his wife's father in future, and especially to Piers Morgan who will gleefully lap up anything that gives his television interviews some good publicity. The two alleged remarks by Prince Harry are interesting to a point. What makes him think Brexit is an experiment? Unortunately, Brexit is a reality in the making. If only it was an experiment that could be cast aside if it doesn't work. We're stuck with it whatever Theresa May manages to squeeze out of the EU bureaucrats. The date is set for our departure from the EU and whatever Parliament eventually says I can't see that changing. Unless Harry knows something none of the rest of us knows. As for his concession to Trump, it was a very diplomatic thing to say, although somewhat condescending. His "Let's give the old boy a chance" is a bit like those wonderful comments from the Tony Blair era when government ministers and officials, without attribution, used to say to us reporters, "You know, George W Bush is really quite intelligent." Good old Blighty, we can be wonderfully patronising when we want to be. Comes from our Empire days I suppose.
