PRINCE HARRY IN RACE ROW

British royal PRINCE HARRY has issued an apology after he was caught on camera referring to an Army colleague as a "P*ki".
The prince is heard using the word to refer to a Pakistani trooper when he was training to be an officer at Sandhurst military academy in Berkshire, England three years ago.
The clip, shot in 2006, was published by the U.K.'s News of the World newspaper on Sunday (11Jan08), and also shows the prince calling another cadet a "raghead" - an offensive term for an Arab.
Prince Harry helped to make the video, in which he introduces his friends by their nicknames and refers to one as "our little P*ki friend".
He is also heard calling another officer cadet a "f***ing raghead" and is filmed making a joke call to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The royal has now issued an apology over the incident.
A statement from St James's Palace says, "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."
It is not the first time the royal has courted controversy - he was forced to apologise in 2005 for wearing a Nazi outfit to a fancy dress party.
