Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, is once again caught up in a racist situation, as he has been caught on file using the term 'Paki' to refer to a fellow Asian soldier. Prince Harry was filming an army training course, and now it has come to light, he has been forced to issue an apology for the racist comment.

Senior defence sources said there was now a serious question mark over whether he could remain in the Army.

The high ranking Army source said: "Any ordinary officer would be asked to resign immediately for making such a comment."

MPs and other public figures reacted with shock and anger at the outburst.

Royal insiders said the incident - which will spark outrage worldwide - happened three years ago.

One senior Royal source said: "Harry was making a film of his Army mates using a camcorder.

This is a really shocking indictment of Harry who a few years ago was caught dressed up in nazi uniform. Here's the video of Harry making racist remarks.

I am not surprised that the Queen does not give up the Thrown in light of her possible succession.

He must not have learned too much about showing a modicum of cultural sensitivity and respect toward a sizeable South Asian population working and living in his country.
