ROYAL rebel Prince Harry today stands accused of racism in a bombshell home video as he swaggers in front of his army comrades.

The soldier prince pours shame on the Royal Family as he calls an Asian squaddie “our little Paki friend” and tells another officer cadet jokingly wearing a camouflage veil off duty: “F*** me, you look like a raghead”—an offensive term for an Arab.

Harry, 24, third in line to the throne, also mocks the Queen—who is Commander-in-Chief of the British Army—while acting out a mobile phone call to her in front of other cadets at a field camp in Cyprus.

They laugh out loud as the disrespectful Prince pretends to get bored talking to his grandmother and dismissively hangs up on her saying: “Send my love to the corgis. I’ve got to go, got to go, bye. God Save You . . . yeah, that’s great.”

He even jokes about the colour of his pubic hair with one soldier in the middle of giving orders.

Last night Clarence House issued an APOLOGY for his behaviour in the shocking video diary—in which Harry is often behind the camera giving a foul-mouthed commentary. Extracts from the shock video can be seen on only our website notw.co.uk

And the Ministry of Defence said last night: “This sort of language is not acceptable in a modern army.”

His sick remarks will not only have infuriated the Queen but could also increase tensions with Islamic groups in the UK who were outraged that he went to fight and kill Muslims in Afghanistan.

And they will mortify Army chiefs trying to recruit soldiers from Britian’s ethnic minorities.

The film was made in 2006, just a year after Harry was shamed for wearing a Nazi swastika at a fancy dress party and forced to make a grovelling apology.

It begins as the Prince—about to embark on training as a combat helicopter pilot—joins other cadets gathering at an airport for their flight to Cyprus. He is behind the camcorder, panning around sleeping comrades waiting for their flight.

As he films one cadet lying on the departure lounge floor, he says: “This is luxury. And here is our first example of possibly how to admin yourself (slang for looking after your kit and keeping yourself in good order) in the terminal awaiting the RAF.”

The camera pans over other snoozing soldiers, with Harry commenting “now that is bad admin, bad admin” before he suddenly stops and zooms in on the face of an unsuspecting Asian cadet yards away.

“Anybody else around here? . . . Ah, our little Paki friend . . . Ahmed,” he whispers.

After arriving in Cyprus, Harry is on exercise with his platoon when he makes his second offensive racist comment. Once again he is behind the camera, filming in the dark.

One of his comrades has put what appears to be some camouflage over his head and as he looks up at the lens Harry says: “It’s Dan the Man . . . F*** me, you look like a raghead. Look at me. Look at me . . . look away.”

The video— obtained by the News of the World— then shows the Prince on manoeuvres in Cyprus with his comrades. Harry plays on-screen reporter, turning the video on himself as he walks along. Then still a Sandhurst military cadet, he sarcastically mocks the exercise they have been given to do.

“It’s hot, very hot. Let me quickly show you the camp, let me show you the pointless tasks,” he says.

“Maybe not pointless tasks, we have been given by the real Company Sergeant Major, which apparently is all very much worthwhile towards our education in the field.” The camcorder is passed to another squaddie. A cadet then introduces Harry as “Mr Wales“ and says the prince is “going to attempt to deliver a set of deliberate night attack orders in 30 seconds”.

The camera focuses on the Prince as he sits pretending to finish a call to the Queen.

“I’ve got to go, got to go. Send my love to the corgis. Send my love to the corgis and Grandpa” before making his “God Save You” insult.

Afterwards he pops a cigarette in his mouth before barking orders about an upcoming exercise, saying “we will be wearing smocks, body armour, helmet, and all the usual s**t”. After giving the orders the exercise descends into farce when the Prince, wielding an army knife, asks his men if there are any questions.

One of the squad cheekily remarks: “Are your pubes ginger too?”

Harry replies: “Sorry?”

He is then asked the question again and replies: “Yes, they are” to laughter from the rest.

Nice to see the "Prince" has a sense of humor, though my stance hasn't changed on unneccesary it is for the UK to have a "royal family"...:D

Is anyone that shocked with anything he does now? Wasn't wearing a Nazi uniform enough to get the point across that he really doesn't give a shit about being royalty?

Just my thoughts...

Strange that this video surfaced three years after it was filmed. Who know how much Harry has matured since that time? Keep in mind though that he is still a young man and young men continue to make mistakes in life, and hopefully learn from them, until they find their place in life. Having said that, Harry himself has admitted that he's a bit thick, much as his mother had admitted herself in an interview.

"Paki" is an inflammatory word in the UK but like all words, the meaning depends on its context. In the video, it's used among friends and Harry doesn't appear to be using it in malice or derogatorily. We don't even know if his friend Ahmed finds the term offensive or not.

"Raghead" is another word that has offensive an meaning but it's also one used in the military to denote Arabic enemies.

As for some of the other stuff in the video... people getting upset about the joke phone call with his grandmother, the Queen? It thought it was somewhat funny. And the question about the color of his pubes? That was obviously a joke as well.

Should Harry watch what he says and does? Yes, but in this circumstance the video was certainly meant for his military friends and should be understood in that context. It's not as if he called someone on the street "you Paki" and far as we know, he hasnt called anyone a Paki in the three years since the videowas shot.

I agree with edonline's final paragraph.

This isn't meant for the "public" to be watching. Since he is Harry, he should really watch himself but he hasn't shown to have the most tactful public track record. It should not come as a major surprise, and it also is a video made for his peers... Fuck the media for blowing shit out of proportion (as always).

Wait, what?
So you're saying its okay if people are racist as long as its not in public but in front of your mates?
Him calling that guy a paki is sort of the same as if he'd called a black person a nigger. I don't think the media is blowing shit out of proportion at all, people would find this shit amusing and interesting because it's prince harry we're talking about here. We got shit loads of headlines about when he actually went to fight the war, talking about him like he was a saint. Now the media shows the other side of him. He should be responsible enough to not be a tit, specially while he's recording it.

I don't think political correctness is high on the military's agenda. His 'Paki' friend probably didn't really give a shit either, how is he supposed to survive a warzone if he can't take a little non-malicious abuse from his colleagues? But the media are dicks, what can you do?

I don't see what the big deal is. Oh man, he is joking around with his buddies in the army! Shame on him for being rude...while joking around with his buddies in the army.

Oh man, he called his friend a racist term- and his friend didn't seem to care, but by golly the media does! I make racist jokes about my black friends to their faces and it's no big deal, trust me. If he was calling random Pakistanis Pakis, it would be a big deal for me...but he wasn't, he was talking about his friend.

I don't see the big deal. Hardly anyone cares. In Britain it will make him more loved. He wore a swastika patch at a fancy dress party once. The people love him. He can do no wrong.

As for getting rid of the monarchy, what utter daydreams. It will never happen. Just as every, and I do mean every, PM has been a freemason. There are just somethings that are non-negotiable when it comes to British politics. Its a completely different set-up to what the Americans have. In Britain they will never have a black PM, for example.

I know the public figure persona is a touchy thing, and he should keep better watch over his videos, a man in the military says and acts a certain way. The rapist and blatant murderers are truly bad and evil and I do not defend these sort of people. Fact is, everyone is racist, whether or not they want to admit it. We are just a certain way, blame genetics, nature, nurture, whatever. I say things that are shameful, but I don't mean them. I notice that when I smile at someone ouside of mt race, they look astonished, as if no one ever smiles at them or says "thank you." Most of my close, trusted friends, are of several different races, but I still say silly things with them, but in jest. I do find myself in a mindset sometimes that I feel may be wrong, however whe you assign a sterotype to someone so often, they may take it on, or the exaggeration may seem true compared to reality.

Point is, I'm not mad at Prince Harry, as long as he's not raping, molesting, murdering, or bullying people for any reason at all.

He does have obligations as a public figure though, because people see him act this way and say, "well if he can do it, so can I."

Jeremy Irons mistreated a stewardess I know well, and that angers me because he had no reason, and other people in first class may have assumed they could act impudent and incredulous because he did.

His wife asked for two tylenol and she gave her four because she had to deal with him.

The other Prince, no not William, its Charles this time.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/theroyalfamily/4229692/Prince-Charless-friend-Sooty-says-Royal-is-not-a-racist.html

"sooty" lol.

I do think the media need to lighten up. Political correctness might be necessary in public. In private and among friends there just no need or desire to be pc, people want to give each other nicknames and have a banter.

When will the media learn, they will never dethrone the British Monarchy. Its woven into the British system, namely via the freemasons. And according to opinion polls, the Monarchy is greatly loved. The free press need to understand this, or they'll end up making life difficult for themselves.

Cause everyone in the press would blow their wad from this story alone since it's a media sensation.

As for my thoughts on it, he may be a normal guy but he has yet to realize the family he has been born into. He may not care about the politics but he'd better because he's THIRD in line to the throne. If William died suddenly with no children, Harry would be only a small step away from the throne. It's almost like Sarah Palin getting the Presidency here....*shudder*.

Not trying to argue, but just want to note that a lot of times people care but don't say anything. I mean, Harry is British Royalty and isn't he also like some person of authority in his group? Even if the dude did care, I can't see it being that likely, when everyone around him is laughing, that he's going to act upset.

I get the article and all, but the headline of this topic makes no sense at all, thousands of what drown in the sperm of who, and how is that related to the prince harry video? I think its your way of saying the press should relax but I don't get the analogy. And I'm very familiar with drowning in sperm

Maybe this video will help people understand the title:

"This is a story I could really wrap my hands around. I mean, I'd love to grab this story by the hilt and work this story long and hard, maybe teasing you with a few details. Make you beg for the story until it builds into a huge climax and explodes all over the front pages."
