Oh dear! Is there no end to it? Prince Harry has been interviewed by police over something.?

The prince was out shooting on the Queen's Sandringham Estate with a friend, a member of the wealthy Van Cutsem family when two rare birds were shot. These were endangered hen harriers. It was claimed that the pair were the only two shooting on the estate at the time of the offence but they denied any participation. Clarence House claimed; 'Unfortunately, they had no knowledge of the alleged incident.' The birds are protected by the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act, and the maximum penalty for each bird killed is a fine of 5,000 pounds and 6 month jail sentence. The estate is not open to members of the public, for obvious reasons, so who did kill the birds? Should the aristocracy be allowed to continue hunting innocent animals? And what will happen if it transpires that Harry was involved? There is nobody else available to put their hands up for the offence, is there?
