Britain's Prince Harry has issued a public apology. That's after a British tabloid newspaper posted this
video from 2006. Harry can be heard using offensive and racist language while walking around this airport
departure lounge with other officer cadets. The men were waiting to fly to Cyprus for training exercises.
In another clip Harry can be heard using a derogatory term for another cadet wearing a headscarf.
The paper said the video was shot by other cadet and supplied to the newspaper. "If this was in the private
sector or in any other walk of life, certainly the person would have been disciplined for making such remarks.
It is now acceptable. A spokesman for Harry said that the prince was sorry for his remarks and added they
were not intended to insult people of Pakistani origin.
"The palace have said that the "paki" remark was actually a nickname for Ahmed who was one of his squad and
the "rag head" remark is something that is said often in army circles. But it doesn't really excuse, his
words.I am sure that many people up and down the country and around the world really will find them offensive.
"Britan's Defense Ministry says no complaint was raised against Harry. In 2005, Harry apologized after being
pictured in a newspaper at a costume party dressed as a Nazi. The British royal is in Army lieutenant in the
Household Cavalry's Blues and Royals and served with the Army in Afghanistan for 10 weeks last year.
