Prince Charles Calls Asian Friend 'Sooty'

Charles has been referring to Kolin Dhillon by the moniker for years whenever they meet at Cirencester Polo club where they are both members, according to a source.

Princes William and Harry also play at the club, which is close to their father's Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire, but the source was not aware of the young royals using the nickname.

The development comes a few days after Harry was widely condemned for calling a former Army colleague "Paki".

He's a prince. They can do or say anything they like.

You know, the most ridiculous thing about this is that the Royal Family is probably the wealthiest family on what is essentially, welfare. While they do pay taxes, they are entirely supported by the British people.

Having lived in Britain for several years, I can tell you that most people are fed up with the Royals. And every time another one of these ridiculous stories comes about it starts it up all over again.

Prince Charles should know better. But like father, like son.

I guess the childish name-calling could rise to a level of fairness if jug-eared Charlie's friend could call him "Jughead." But, of course, he can't since Charlie's the future king. Pathetic.

How is this related to the slur Harry used . This story makes no sense.

Because a lot of times kids pick up on that type of behavior from their parents.

These people are absolutely clueless. Amazing that Royalty were once thought to be anointed by god. The only thing they have been anointed by is the Idiot stick
