Harry in paparazzi brawl


Prince Harry was hit in the face by a camera during a scuffle outside a nightclub early today which left a photographer with a cut lip.

The 20-year-old was leaving Pangaea in the West End of London when photographers attempted to take pictures of him.

A Clarence House spokesman said the third in line to the throne was defending himself when the incident happened at around 3am.

"Prince Harry was hit in the face by a camera as photographers crowded around him as he was getting into a car," the spokesman said.

"In pushing the camera away, it's understood that a photographer's lip was cut."

The incident comes just a week after the new army recruit was accused of cheating in his art A-Level exam.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We are aware of the incident but no complaint has been made."

The paparazzi photographer involved, Chris Uncle gave a different of events to that of Clarence House.

Mr Uncle, 24, told the Evening Standard that Harry "deliberately lashed out".

Mr Uncle, who works for the Big Pictures agency said: "Prince Harry looked like he was inside the car and we were all still taking pictures.

"Then suddenly he burst out the car and lunged towards me as I was still taking pictures.

"He lashed out and then deliberately pushed my camera into my face.

"The base of the camera struck me and cut my bottom lip.

"At the same time he was repeatedly saying 'Why are you doing this? Why don't you just leave me alone?"'

Sounds like Harry can't take being Harry anymore. It's the classic scene where the birthed-into-priviledged is just an ordinary bloke and simply can't live up to the exaggerated expectations of the public. Love the part about the alleged cheating on an Art Exam! Imagine crib notes penned on the Royal epidermis, what, he couldn't discern the difference between the Chapman brothers and Gilbert and George?!
