Prince Harry has to go to 'Equality Training " for the second time

No Irony here, just wait for the comedians to get a hold on this : From the BBC


Prince Harry is to be sent on an Army equality course after being heard on video using offensive language to describe a Pakistani army colleague.

The Prince faced a disciplinary hearing with his commanding officer after a video diary filmed three years ago was made public by a Sunday newspaper.

In the commentary, Harry called a platoon member "our little Paki friend" and another, a "raghead".
Clarence House said the Prince had apologised and the matter was "closed".

The BBC's royal correspondent Peter Hunt said it would be the second time Prince Harry had taken part in an equality course since joining the Army.

All recruits undergo initial diversity training, but commanding officers have ordered Harry to undertake further instruction following the incident.

Our correspondent said a note about the name-calling had been placed on the prince's Army record, but it would be withdrawn in a couple of years and was unlikely to affect his military career prospects.
The Ministry of Defence would say only that the Army had concluded its considerations in relation to the case.

1. As a Canadian, I do NOT recognize Queen Elizabeth II as the head of state!
I want nothing to do with these inbred parasites!
That is all!

6. Sure is taking after Granddad in being an asshole.
Perhaps his soft spoken brother is a cut above this? Perhaps not.
