There was something about Prince William's "Out of Africa" themed 21st that seemed somewhat familiar. Maybe it was the whole "Africa as site of imperial romping with no thought of long-term consequence" thing, or maybe it was just a bit rich for the royals to dress up in pseudo-African garb for a bit of a laugh when British imperialism has been so intimately involved in the shaping of post-colonial Africa. Or maybe it just says something about the way they see the rest of the world: Africa is good for an off-the-wall 21st and the occasional Kenyan romance within the confines of a wealthy white landowner's property. Meanwhile Harry can rough it to Australia to get closer to indigenous communities and find inspiration for his art (sorry about the nukes!). It's like the colonies are still this rough and tumble playground where young royals are sent to sow their wild oats and become real men before they return home to begin their real lives; like Africa's still a mythical place where strange unnatural things can happen without consequence back in the real world. All of which makes an African-themed royal 21st seem so totally appropriate.
