Yep about right. It is called GOSSIP. No worse that than people who wonder wherther Brad Pitt is sleeping with Angelina Jolie of Jennifer Aniston this week.
It is the royal family who apparently made public their "tradition" to circumcise their boys and made it a "Royal" tradition instead of a "its none of your business" tradition.
Harry and William, it is sad to say, are like cattle in barn. They are born "owned" by the public, forced to participate in royal activities and have the world media monitor their every bowel movements. Their fate is pre-determined just like a farmer decides what will happen to a cow he owns.
If everyone stopped buying tabloids, you wouldn't read about them just by standing in line at the grocery store check out lines. But in the end, their fate would remain pre-determined by their royal "duties". The "Windsors" may survive from their real-estate revenus, but the "Royals" survive from their presence in society, and that means exposing part of their lives to the public.
Granted, exposing one's circumcision status is perhaps way out of what one would expect fo a royal. But what is wrong with speculating about it ?
Re a previous poster. I agree with you. Enough people have seen princes naked that if there had been something different we might know about it.
HOWEVER: Say you are a friend of William at school and you see him naked in locker room and notice he lost his foreksin during school break. YOu have the choice of keeping it to yourself and remaining friends with William, or going to the press and probably losing your friendship with William.
And the people who are close/friends enough to see their dicks probably have enough respect for them (and knowledge of how the media treats them) that they will willingly stay quiet even if they see that one prince has a very ugly syphilis wart on his penis.
So even if they did get circumcised, I am not so sure that it would become public knowledge.
And frankly, during a swimming competition with many spectators, do you really think you'll see spectators with binauculars focused on his crotch *AND* wanting to discern any signs of circumcision through his speedo ?
Most sane people might want a glimpse at his crotch, but wouldn't think about circumcision at all. In countries where 50% of men are cut, there is an increased curiosity because people know that a male can be either, so they can wonder about whether cut or uncut.
But in a country where circumcision is very rare (or omnipresent), people just don't wonder about circumcision status since they assume everyone is the same.
Furthermore, consider a potentially even much bigger story: The fact that Harry looks nothing like his father but more like that equestrian teacher Diana admitted having an affair with. This just isn't discussed at all. The ramifications would be huge since Harry would not have any royal blood in him.
Imagine is Diana's plans were to marry with Dodi Al Fayed and declare Harry was not Charles' and then be able to take Harry with her to save him from the royal family. NOW, that would get the tabloids going into overdrive.
