Prince Harry's "bad boy" behavior

Prince Harry's "bad boy" behavior

In January 2009, the British tabloid News of the World released videos on its website shot by Prince Harry during his military service in 2006, in which he was heard referring to one of his fellow cadets as "our little Paki friend" and telling another that he looked like a "raghead."

A spokesman for St James' Palace said, "Prince Harry fully understands how offensive this term can be, and is extremely sorry for any offence his words might cause. However, on this occasion three years ago, Prince Harry used the term without any malice and as a nickname about a highly popular member of his platoon. There is no question that Prince Harry was in any way seeking to insult his friend."
