The sun has today published an apology for wrongly
dating and locating the story it ran yesterday showing
photographs of prince Harry groping a girl's breast.
News international's flagship daily tabliod also apologised
to the girl in question, Natalie Pinkham, for publishing the
pictures, which belonged to her, without her permission.
The apology reads; "We accept that the nightclub was the
purple nightclub and not Boujis as we said and the
photographs were taken in autumn 2003 and not
summer 2006. we apologise for the error.
"The sun published the photographs in good faith but
we apologise to Ms Natalie pinkham, a close friend of both
prince William and Prince Harry, for publishing them without
permission and for any embarrassment or offence their
publication caused." In its apology, it went to say that it
would make a donation to a charity of Ms Pinkham's choice.
But while the three sentence apology appears on page six,
a new story about prince harry " Is Harry the wildest prince
in History ?" is flagged up on the front page and covers
the center spread with photo of the prince drinking,
smooching and giving a one finger salute.
The article about Prince Harry's antics boasts that yesterday's
story for which it has apologized today was an exclusive.
Saying that "We love his playboy ways", today's piece reads:
"Whether he smokes, drinks, enjoys lap-dancing or, as the
sun exclusively revealed yesterday, gropes pretty pals,
Harry is one royal whose popularity has sky-rocketed."
The article goes on to explain why the Prince is such a
"Loveable rascal" who is "impossible to dislike" and that
"the sun's phone lines were jammed with readers calling
to give their approval for the young royal" after an interview
to mark his 21st birthday.
It ends with a warning that
"Harry must sort out his true and loyal friends from those
who are just waiting to cash in and made a fast buck for him".
