Prince Harry

Prince Harry is at the centre of another race row - after reportedly telling a comedian he didn't "sound like a black chap".

The prince is alleged to have made the remark to black comic Stephen K. Amos at a show to celebrate his father Prince Charles' 60th birthday in November (08).

Amos claims the royal congratulated him on his performance backstage before saying, "You don't sound like a black chap."

Amos recalls, "I wanted to say: 'How is (sic) I supposed to sound?'"

The new row comes a month (Jan09) after Harry was forced to issue an apology when he was caught on camera referring to an Army colleague as a "P*ki".

The prince has been sent on an equality and diverstoy course over the incident that was recorded three years ago but was only made public last month.

He attended a discipliary hearing with a commanding officer after the footage was made public last month.

He was also heavily criticised in 2005 for wearing a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party.
