A new video has surfaced featuring Britain's Prince Harry in his army uniform using racist language against Muslims and his grandmother Queen Elizabeth.
Harry is third in line to the British throne, and is a lieutenant in the army. Harry issued an apology on Saturday after the News of the World released the video from 2006, in which he makes racist remarks against Pakistani Muslims.
The video was supposedly recorded in Cyprus in 2006, while carrying out training exercises with fellow military cadets.
In the video, Harry refers to one colleague as "our little Paki friend" - a derogatory term for people of Pakistani origin.
Iftikhar Raja said on the BBC that the cadet was his nephew Ahmed Raza Khan, who he said is now a captain in the Pakistani Army. He said Khan graduated from the Sandhurst military academy in 2006 and received an award from Queen Elizabeth II as the best overseas officer cadet.
In another clip, Harry calls another cadet, who is wearing a headscarf, a "raghead." The British Defense Ministry said that it does not tolerate inappropriate behavior, but said that no complaint has been filed against the prince.
Friends, colleagues and commentators have stated that Harry showed "sincere remorse" in his apology. Harry served with the British Army in Afghanistan for 10 weeks last year, but was withdrawn from the combat zone after his secret deployment became public.
The prince has been the center of many controversies in recent years. In the past he has admitted to underage drinking and smoking marijuana. In January 2005 photos were released of the prince wearing a Nazi uniform, complete with swastika, to a costume party. Harry appologized immediately following the photos' release.
