Prince’s apology is genuine, states PM
January 13, 2009
Prime Minister Gordon Brown believes that the British public will give Prince Harry benefit of the doubt.
The prince apologised for making use of racist language. He was caught on film calling his fellow cadet a racist term. Gordon Brown though thinks his apology was genuine.
Labour MP, Keith Vaz stated the term was ‘wounding and unacceptable’. A senior army officer is going to look into the peculiar circumstances surrounding the comment, made.
It was made in a home video that Prince Harry made while he was an officer cadet and one that was obtained by a newspaper. The prime minister, speaking on GMTV, stated
“It was indeed a mistake and he has made the admission of that. The British people are good enough to give someone who has actually been a role model for young people and who has done well fighting for our country… the benefit of the doubt.”
Labour MP Keith Vaz though told BBC Radio 4 that Prince Harry needed to spend more time to learn from his father, who had shown how much indeed, can be done towards building relations between communities! Rod Richards, who has served in John Major’s Conservative government as a Foreign Office minister and also as the Royal Marines officer, defended the prince.
