Prince Harry has been embroiled in a fresh race row after a video showing him using racist insults was obtained by The News Of The World.

The newspaper reports that the tape was made by the third in line to the throne during his Army training.

It says the prince is heard calling one Asian trainee "our little Paki friend".

The newspaper reported that the videotape was shot by the prince as he was about to embark on training as a combat helicopter pilot in an airport for their flight to Cyprus.

Panning around the floor, over his bored or sleeping colleagues, he says: "This is luxury. And here is our first example of possibly how to admin yourself (meaning take care of yourself and your kit) in the terminal awaiting the RAF.

It sweeps over his colleagues, with Harry commenting "Now that is bad admin, bad admin" before it tracks over an Asian cadet yards away.

"Anybody else around here?" he asks. "Ah, our little Paki friend."

In a separate incident, the 24-year-old is heard calling another officer cadet who is jokingly wearing a veil on his head a "f***ing raghead".

The UK has gone bonkers the last few years.

Now, this. It's breaking news on Sky for the last 30 minutes ago. Breaking news? For goodness sake.

I miss the stiff upper lip.

Cheers.

This is nothing, his grandpa has said far more on many occasions.

It’s recorded in a video from the trenches in Afghanistan

It’s banter.

Paki friend is a racial insult? That’s crazy.

[Eva]

Which part of the comment was insulting, “little”, “Paki” or “friend”?

Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki

On the other hand Senator Harry Reid has lots of splainin’ to do over the Blago recordings.

[liberalism is suicide]

You said it. “Paki friend” is no more a racial insult than “Brit” is.

No one has a sense of humor any more.

I had a great friend while in the service. I called him my Jew Boy, because he was the only Jew in our outfit. Can’t type what he called me, but it was all in jest.

[Eurotwit]

It’s banter.

It’s a war.

There is no sense of perspective anymore.

I am handicapped and call myself a cripple all the time. The sensitive types get offended by this.

[DainBramage]

I for one am insulted he called him Paki friend. Paki throat slitter would have been proper.

[brytlea]

I guess it’s now racist to even acknowledge race (and probably gender etc). Down the rabbit hole we’ve gone...

[ChicagahAl]

“That’s crazy”

No. That’s politics.

[ScreamingFist]

Sounds to me Prince Harry is a real man.....no wonder the metrosexuals at Sky News are all in a twitter......

Tell them to kiss your royal arse Prince Harry!

[Chode]

UNgland...

[PGR88]

Little Paki friend? Is that it???

[bethybabes69]

Pakistanis are the only race I know, who must be so embarrassed about being from that dump, that they hate their Country's name being spoken!

"Ah, our little Paki friend."

If he said "Ah, our little Aussie friend." about a colleague from Australia, or "Ah, our little Afghan friend." about a colleague from Afghanistan, not an eyelid would be raised, but because they Pakistanis, he's a racist!

By the way, don't any of you lot call me a "Brit", I'll shout out that you're all racist! /sarc

Those Pakistanis and Muslims seem to be getting exclusive use of the term 'Racism'.

Here in the UK, they band around the term 'Asian' to describe all the middle East, without a care for the billions of Orientals who I bet don't want being pigeonholed with them.

Talk about getting chastised for calling a spade a spade, what better description for someone with a 'rag' on his 'head' than 'raghead'?

Damn those Liberals.
