Prince Harry The Nazi: Sorry
| Winds are picking up dramatically in the teapot... |
BRITAIN'S Prince Harry has apologised after he was pictured at a fancy dress party wearing a Nazi soldier's uniform. The 20-year-old, who is third in line to the throne, is pictured on the front page of Britain's The Sun newspaper in the beige uniform wearing a red armband emblazoned with a swastika. In a statement, Harry said: "I am very sorry if I caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone. It was a poor choice of costume and I apologise." Harry is the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II and the second son of the Prince of Wales, Charles, and Diana. The Prince was to don a uniform of a different kind next week when he was due to enrol at Sandhurst military college. His entry to the prestigious royal military academy has been delayed six months, however, to allow him to recover from a knee injury. It is not the first time the flame-haired royal has made the news for all the wrong reasons. Last October he was involved in a scuffle with a photographer outside a London nightclub and in 2003 he caught smoking cannabis in pub near his father's estate at Highgrove.
