Writing in the memoir Spear<\/strong><\/em>, Harry recalled<\/p>\n

I was sitting in Highgrove, watching the torrential rain, barely able to process it. My father\u2019s office issued an apology on my behalf. I wanted to issue one too but the courtiers advised against it. Not the best strategy sir. To hell with strategy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The father-of-two then acknowledged that he was concerned about how it might affect his friend Ahmed.<\/p>\n

He admitted that,<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t care about tactics. I cared about people not thinking I was racist. I cared about not being racist. Above all, I cared about Ahmed. I spoke to him directly. Contacted, apologized. He said he knew I wasn\u2019t racist. No big deal. But it was. And his forgiveness, his easy grace, just made me feel bad.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
