Prince Harry vs. Prince William (Part 2)

quote:

Prince Harry has been pictured holding a cigarette next to a young orphan while carrying out charity work in South Africa.

Harry, whose wayward behaviour has never kept him far from the headlines, was snapped crouched on the ground with the cigarette hidden by a shadow.

Ironically, the officials pictures were issued by Clarence House as part of a campaign to boost the Prince's image after a series of negative tabloid stories.

A spokesman for Prince Harry said Clarence House was unaware the cigarette was in the picture.
He added that "far too much" was being made of the issue.
The Prince has spent his gap year in Lesotho helping Aids orphans.

The girl he is pictured next to is thought to be four-year-old Mutsu Potsane, who is believed to be HIV positive.

Harry has been involved in a series of high-profile incidents which have seen him apologise for dressing as a Nazi at a fancy dress party, smoking cannabis and fighting with a paparazzi photographer.

The cigarette was spotted on the day that Harry's former Eton teacher Sarah Forsyth claimed in an employment tribunal that parts of one of the Prince's A-Level art work had been completed by another teacher.

Harry is now at Sandhurst, knuckling down on what is the first full day of his new military career.
He joined the elite academy on Sunday and now faces 44 weeks of its gruelling regime of early starts and punishing physical training.

PRINCE HARRY IS A 'WEAK' STUDENT WHO CHEATED: ETON TEACHER
Prince Harry was a "weak" student at school whose final work for an art examination was completed by a member of staff, a former teacher at his prestigious private school alleged.

Sarah Forsyth, who is claiming unfair dismissal by Eton College, also told an employment tribunal that she wrote virtually all the accompanying text for an art project submitted to external examiners by the prince, now 20.
She considered this to be "unethical and probably constituted to cheating", Forsyth -- a former art teacher at the elite school which charges more than 22,000 pounds a year -- said in a statement on Monday.

When the case began in October last year -- it was later adjourned -- Forsyth alleged she had been ordered by a school administrator to help the young royal pass his art exam.

On Sunday, Harry began training to become a British Army officer at the Sandhurst military academy, a place that was dependent on certain minimum examination results.

The prince just qualified with a B grade in art and a D in geography in his A Levels, final school examinations taken by 18-year-olds in England and Wales.

Forsyth's statement to the tribunal added to her earlier allegations, claiming that the head of Eton's art department would sometimes paint work for pupils as he talked to them.
He also completed one of Harry's examination pieces in the prince's absence, she said Monday.

Forsyth, whose contract with Eton was not renewed during the summer of 2003, also claims she wrote the text to an art project handed in by the prince the previous year, for which Harry thanked her.
"I was concerned that this was unethical and probably constituted to cheating," her statement said.
"I assumed I had been asked to do this because Prince Harry was a weak student," she continued, adding that teachers at Eton had been "desperate" to find ways to award the young royal marks.
"However, I did not think I could tell anyone else about the incident without fear of victimisation and was not aware that statutory protection against such victimisation existed.
"I have recently seen for the first time extracts of the written material which was submitted on Prince Harry's behalf and can confirm that it was nearly all written by me."

Eton denies the allegations, and insists Forsyth left the school simply because her teaching was not good enough.
The case was continuing.
