Prince Harry has become embroiled in a new race row after allegedly telling a comedian, Stephen K Amos, that he did not "sound like a black chap".
Mr Amos has claimed that the Prince made the remark when they met after the stand-up show We Are Not Amused for the Prince of Wales' 60th birthday celebrations in November 2008.
Mr Amos, from south-west London, made the disclosure on Five's The Wright Stuff on Tuesday.
He told presenter Matthew Wright that Prince Harry, 24, congratulated him on his performance before saying: "You don't sound like a black chap."
As Mr Wright looked on in disbelief, Mr Amos added: "I wanted to say, 'How is [sic] I supposed to sound?'"
Asked if the remark had been made in jest, he replied: "I hope it was."
The comedian, who has appeared on many television shows including the BBC's Have I Got News For You, put the comment down to a poor attempt at making banter.
However, fellow panellist Lowri Turner, the television presenter, then said: "That's not the point."
The new row comes just a month after Prince Harry was accused of racism when it emerged he had referred to a Sandhurst colleague as "our little Paki friend". >>> By Lucy Cockcroft | Wednesday, February 11, 2009
