London - The Prince of Wales yesterday asked a British tabloid newspaper editor to apologise publicly to his son Prince Harry for a front-page story which "sensationalised" a minor sports injury he suffered.
The Mirror had splashed a front-page story about the accident which befell the 14-year-old Harry, claiming the Prince of Wales's office had exercised unreasonable censorship.
"Harry's had an accident, but we're not allowed to tell you," an editorial read, above a copy of a letter from the prince's press officer in which details of the accident were blacked out.
In response, Charles's press secretary wrote a letter to Mirror editor Mr Piers Morgan complaining that the newspaper had breached a voluntary media agreement to respect the privacy of his sons Princes William (16) and Harry, while they attend Eton.
