Harry calls colleagues 'paki' and 'rag head'

[varya]

While I also don't want him to feel he has to censor himself, I would hope that in these last three years he has grown up and knows that these types of words are not ok. Just because some people think they are ok does not mean that they are. To say racist stuff to people is never ok, and should never be ok.

PH apologized to Ahmed

- hopefully no more after he has done this...good luck PH with your training and do your best...

I think I figured out who released this and why. 

It's unfortunate that this happened. Let's hope Harry learns from his mistakes. Unfortunately, Harry is forever the "bad prince" and every little thing that comes up will bring up everything he's done his whole life. I mean, people keep bringing up the Nazi thing and that was four years ago. I bet he'll never hear the end of it, even when he's 80 they'll still talk about what he did when he was 20/21.

Come on, Leo.... don't be a tease.   Spill!  And if you won't spill, at least whisper through a PM. 

I wonder if he knew about this in Mauritius.  Hi pic with Chels...The face she made, as if she were sympathizing,  the hug.... as though she were comforting him.

yes and the look of you evil paps!

I don't know PH just needs to be careful

Now, suddenly, Harry is a wicked racist - make that a thick, ginger-haired Royal racist - who must 'learn a painful lesson' and go on TV to make a public apology for his crime. Have we all gone barking mad?

It would seem so, judging by the buckets of vitriol poured over Harry for using the words 'Paki' and 'raghead' in a video made in 2006. While filming fellow cadets, Harry zoomed in on Captain Ahmed Raza Khan saying: 'Ah, our little Paki friend... Ahmed.'

Out of context, his words may shock. But in context, Harry was simply indulging in equal-opportunities Army banter - that's equally offensive to everyone, be they Taff, Paddy, Jock or simply some poor sod saddled with a fat girlfriend.

It's PC gone mad and I dont mean

This article is ridiculous IMO.  It must be a slow news - since PW will not marry KM (dare I hope) - & so they're "rehashing" a 3-year old incident. The press is so hell bent in making Prince Harry the bad prince despite the good things he's accomplished & done in the past.  It's incredible how people have short term memory.

Does anyone else thinks that this is the Midds doing an undercover overload on making the royals look bad?   

[giamodel60]

Just WHO is hating WHO, seems like the press is HATING Harry!!!!!

[bpwriter47]

It does seem this is really getting out of control which does mean somebody is trying to either make the royals look bad or take away from something else that's about to hit the British media.  Seems crazy, I mean, isn't there an economy crisis happening??  something's up with the media.

Slightly OT here but today I bought the International Express and it had a cover peice on Edward you know the sort beat the royal one. Well I bet a dollar that there will be one on Harry next week in Beat the Royal up spread.

[chloe]

Oh. You do actually read newspapers ? ?

Oh, yes it's terrible. Into these things (newspapers), some people are not fan(atics) of Prince Edward or do have different opinions than yours. As much it sounds a crazy little thing for you which needs to be moderated and repressed, many societies have adopted liberal principles ( e.g. democracy including the "freedom of speech" little one) since the Antiquity.. to nowadays like in Australia.

Harry doesn't like to be called "ginger"... he is "auburn". So, it would be nice if he and other royal - who don't like too to be called certain names or having certain adjectives qualifying them - to remember it and adopt the same attitude towards others.

Prince Harry has homophobia.. Is he??

Ok, this is getting ridiculous.  No offense but my cousin has been gay all his life and uses these terms and so do his straight friends when joking around.  and yes, i know all about some of the military thoughts on people being gay.  i was military and sometimes you have to share one shower with 8 people in it trying to use it at the same time; things can't get uncomfortable depending on your beliefs. Which by the way, we are free to have either way (not just the politically correct way) about people.

 but there are too many important things going on to keep trying to find something wrong with this banter. 
who does this surprise here with a Grandpa like Prince Phillip?? anyone.. no. 

so dear media,
go report on something important, like the man in Idaho who's car broke down in bitter cold temperatures and forced his 11 yr daughter and 12 yr. son to walk 10 miles to their mother's house.  The girl died, the boy barely made it.  Now that's a story that needs to be told.
