I'm Australian so I'm an "Aussie". I can't understand what's wrong with calling someone from Pakistan a "Paki"? Is it really any different to a Yank or a Pom? Too many people have too much time on their hands - get over it and get on with your life rather than looking for things to whinge about!

So they will find the leak, and they will pay the price for Harry's gaffe, shoot the messenger ....?

Graham, Littlehampton,

Can someone please explain why it is acceptable to describe one who hails from Afghanistan as an Afghani but the same does not hold for Pakistan?

Carole Macpherson, Gramat, France

Never mind Harrys comments, which certainly didn't sound derogatory, infact sounded endearing to his colleague.. Who leaked this tape? Someone hoping to make a quick buck from the gutter press, a poor excuse for a comrade.

Paki is an offensive word. But that can only be decided by the person it is used against. No doubt the Prince was subject to daily almost ritual insults because of his background and the colour of his hair. Neither he or Ahmed Raza Khan have made complaints -only the public.

Mark Pawlak, Brighton, UK

In my opinion it is up to In my opinion it is up to Ahmed Raza Khan whether the name was offensive and no one elses business. Boys always pick nicknames for their friends and peers and not always tasteful ones. Some people just need to keep their nose out and mind their own business.

Harry does suffer from foot -in-the-mouth disease. After dressing up as a Nazi soldier for a fancy dress, it was said that he would be going to see Auschwitz. Did this ever happen?

I completely agree, Guy Warwick. Yes, he made a mistake and he should not have said the comments that he made. on the other hand, this was 3 years ago and he's matured since then. I certainly hope that I've matured in 3 years. We need to not bring up something that is now irrelevant.

Shop talk, embarrassment and foolish? I have been called a Paki by people who did not mean it as well-so they said after the fact that did not make it right than and does not make it right now. Unless you have been exposed to these racist remarks and make no mistake they are racist you cant comment

Al Smith, Calgary, Canada

I do believe the Bard wrote of this. "Much Ado About Nothing!"

Bob Evans, Lowestoft,

Every one knows "shop talk" happens in groups and often what sounds offensive some, is just goofing around. Racism, discrimination, I do not think so. His charity work shows that.
What does bother me, is the "fellow comrade and buddy" who probably made alot of money selling his friend.

David Steeves, Mississauga, Canada

What nonsense. Put a bunch of very young men together in the military and they behave in a way the rest of us would disapprove of. They seem to think insulting each other and being crass is funny. Some sort of weird macho-military-guy bonding thing. Go find something important to fuss about.

Ann, Frankfort MI, US

Were Prince Harry's comments foolish? Yes. Is someone attempting to embarrass him 3 years after the fact? Yes.
