Prince Harry has found himself at the centre of a controversy after a late-night scuffle with a photographer.
According to royal officials, the 20-year-old was leaving the London nightclub Pangaea in the early hours of Thursday morning when he was hit in the face by a camera. One of the snappers was then injured when Harry pushed a camera away, leaving the man wielding it with a cut lip.
The injured party, Chris Uncle, reported the bust-up to police, but no action is expected to be taken. "We are aware of the incident but no complaint has been made," revealed a Scotland Yard spokesman.
Clarence House has meanwhile stressed that the injuries were not caused deliberately. "Prince Harry was hit in the face by a camera as photographers crowded around him as he was getting into a car," said a spokeswoman. "In pushing the camera away, it's understood that a photographer's lip was cut."
The fracas comes soon after a television interview in which the third-in-line to the throne admitted that constant media attention made it very difficult for him and his brother William to lead normal lives. |
