MP MOCKS HARRY’S SERVICE

A BRITISH MP has mocked the military service of Prince Harry, saying he’s not a good pilot and he should just go away to be a “playboy.”

Labour MP Emma Dent Coad made the comments on the sidelines of the party’s annual conference.

“Harry can’t actually fly a helicopter ... He tried to pass the helicopter exam about four times and he couldn’t get through it at all so he always goes for the co-pilot,” Ms Dent Coad said. “So he just sits there going ‘vroom vroom’.”

But other Labour MPs are distancing themselves from her.

“The highly inaccurate comments reportedly made by one of our colleagues, which disparage Prince Harry’s military service, in no way reflect the views of my party,” John Woodcock said on Twitter.

“I am really sorry that this has happened.”
