Prince Harry apologises to officer for 'Paki' remark

Royal apparently contacted colleague in Pakistan

Prince Harry's 3rd in line to the throne

Prince Harry is said to have phoned Ahmed Raza Khan to say sorry for calling him a 'Paki'.

The royal was condemned for referring to his fellow comrade as 'our little Paki friend' on a video made at Sandhurst Military college three years ago.

Harry, 24, also said another squaddie resembled a ‘rag-head’, a derogatory term for an Arab, and made a spoof call to his grandmother, the Queen.

‘Since the footage came to light, Harry’s main concern has been that he may have offended a friend,’ a source tells The Sun.

Ahmed, now a Lieutenant in the Pakistani army's Frontier Regiment, apparently accepted Harry's apology.

Clarence House refused to make any further comment.
