William says to Harry
You should know the etiquette abode
we do not mouth of each other in public
we do not share what is private
we do not wash our linens in public gaze
What is class but manners
honour is bound by blood and integrity
we have standards to uphold
with power comes great responsibilities
we owe that much to ourselves

If I have offended you
I will apologise
I will also have the maturity and decency
to go to my study
sit and hand-write a Note of apology
that's the right thing to do
that's proper
no need for drama or fuss
We are supposed to be adults
seasoned and well-bred, its simple protocol

Are we suppose to chatter to all and sundry
baited into clashing egos like plebs
play out silly immature dramas
and posture demeaning obstinacies
like an uncouth fronting up
needing to prove some misplaced notion of strength
and independence
when in reality it merely proves immaturity and insecurity

If you're worth who you think you are
begin by admitting you have made mistakes
then grow and become the person you should be
make that call to papa
or go to your study and hand-write him an apology
do this not only for him but for yourself as well
if you are strong you don't need to prove strength
only weak little people need to puff up
and put on a show, its a limiting parody by limited people
serving to only fool themselves
Is that really YOU?
