The British press is reporting that the third in line to the British throne is attend a course on “equality and diversity”, given by the British military. 
News of this comes after recent reports and a video of Prince Harry making racial slurs and insensitive comments.
The prince’s office said Harry had been “subjected to normal army disciplinary procedures” but would not confirm he was being sent on a diversity course. The Ministry of Defense said Harry had received “a dressing down” from his commanding officer.
Harry has likely already been on a diversity course. Charles Heyman, a defense analyst and former British army officer, said they were a standard part of military training.
Heyman said the courses were designed to let soldiers know “that the world is a bit different than they might think, and that it’s good manners to treat people the way they would like to be treated themselves.”
“He’s not the ordinary man in the pub,” Heyman said. “You’ve got to be careful when you are third in line to the throne.”
Crown Prince Felipe and Crown Princess Letizia inaugurated the 29th International Fair of Contemporary Art in Madrid Thursday. The annual event showcases art from around the world, with a particular country chosen as guest of honor.
