| | | Hen harriers shot by Royal Family?
Prince Harry has been interviewed by police about the shooting of protected birds, it has emerged.
The prince has been questioned by police in Norfolk.
They are investigating a report that two hen harriers were killed on the edge of the royal family's Sandringham estate last week.
A spokeswoman for Clarence House said the prince and a friend were in the area at the time but had no knowledge of the incident. BBC NEWS | England | Norfolk | Prince quizzed over bird shooting |

Its been on the tv news a few times already this morning....more likely due to a Royal being questioned about it, rather than the plight of the birds |

I can't say that I find this news that surprising given previous stories about the Royals and hunting/shooting. Rather depressing though. Even if a Royal didn't actually pull the trigger what on earth are Royal estates doing shooting hen harriers? Talk about leading by example...

The latest bulletin from Buck House says that these were in fact terrorist Hen Harriers smuggled into England in the three tons of luggage which accompanied Her Majesty's latest distinguished visitor. |

A poor example to set even if by association.

It was on a Natire Reserve - much more likely to be an RSPB member who doesn't like songbirds being killed by nasty predators!
Or, to put it another way, don't condemn someone before you've seen some evidence that they are guilty!
