I agree.The raghead thing I guess you can't get away with. That's definitely racial. The Packi one, for some would be offensive, and he should have been bright enough not to use it.
It is common knowledge that the language used by most military personnel particularly in the infantry isn't exactly seeping with political correctness, and it doesn't seem like he meant it as part of an intensional racial commentary.
However Prince Harry is neither an ordinary soldier nor a common citizen, and by default he is under the microscope and everything he says and does is infused with extra meaning. He should have been at least sensible enough to realize this simple fact and refrained from using any racially insensitive words like Rag-head, packi etc.
