In October 2004, a former teacher of Prince Harry's at Eton College claimed before a tribunal that she was unfairly dismissed from the school after being ordered to help the prince cheat on an exam in 2002 and claimed to have a tape to prove it.
Paddy Harverson, a spokesman for Prince Charles, told the hearing that the allegations had previously been disproved and it was unfair for the teacher's lawyers to give the court only a small portion of the tape. Harverson accused them of having "placed their own interpretation upon it."
"The tape ... contains barely audible half-sentences, and it appears to have been edited," Harverson said. "It is also difficult to tell what Harry is saying and what he is referring to, due to the poor quality of the recording and the disjointed nature of the tape. The fact remains Harry did not cheat."
