He didn’t mince his words.
Prince Harry attended a gathering with 45 D-Day veterans ahead of the anniversary of the Normandy invasion and his outfit wasn’t met with the best reaction.
According to The Telegraph, 91-year-old Ivor Anderson (main photo) apparently asked Prince Harry “where’s your bloody tie?”.
When the Prince replied that he was told not to wear a tie and got a shock to see everyone else was, Ivor had another great retort, that he could lend him one.
Speaking afterwards, the veteran said:
“I told him he should wear a bloody tie.
“I said I had a spare one, he said he couldn’t wear mine because he didn’t have his wings”.
During the meeting at Portsmouth yesterday, Prince Harry met with several men who were part of the history of D-Day including Anthony Colgan, 92, (pictured above), John Denett and Frank Diffell (both 91).
None were as sharp as Ivor it seems.
We imagine it will take Harry a while to live this one down…
