Sarah reveals tape of Prince Harry's cheating
'confession' (Go
To Top)
London:
Sarah Forsyth, the sacked Eton teacher who alleged that
she had helped Prince Harry cheat while he was taking his
A-Levels, has now produced a tape of Prince Harry, which
she says will substantiate her charge. The tape has a recorded
conversation of her and Prince Harry just before he was
going to take his exam and refers to his exam paper. Forsyth
has claimed that she wrote most of the young royal's AS
project, which is an art project that the student is supposed
to write himself, because she had been ordered to do so
by a senior teacher. Eton officials, however say that the
tape is doctored and does not provide any proof, as it is
extremely inaudible and unclear.
The only line that the 20-year old Prince is heard saying
is '"a tiny, tiny bit . . . only about a sentence," which
Forsyth says is his confession that he wrote only one line
in the project. Officials also say that this is just Sarah's
way of getting back at Eton and tainting the school's image
because she was refused a permanent place in the school
after working there for three years. Eton had instead offered
her a 10,000 pound pay-off, but she demanded ten times the
amount, which was refused. "Parts of the one-minute tape
were Inaudible and others seem to have been Rubbed or Recorded
over. You do not even get the context. For example she could
have said to him, 'How much of the information I gave you
did you use?' and he could have answered 'just one line,"
The Sun quoted a spokesperson for Eton as saying. The tape
is now slated to be examined by an industrial tribunal,
which is hearing Forsyth's case. Prince Charles and Harry
are reportedly extremely angry at being targeted in the
battle between Eton and the teacher. Charles released the
tape himself, because according to him, it proves Harry's
innocence rather than his guilt. If Prince Harry is found
guilty, his admission to the prestigious Sandhurst Military
Academy, which he got on the basis of his A- level grades,
could be cancelled.

Sydney:
Movie giant Warner Bros has announced a deal to create
China's first joint venture in film production. According
to the Asian Wall Street Journal, Warner will own 30 per
cent of the venture, while the state-owned China Film Group,
the country's biggest film company, will hold a 40 per cent
stake. Private Chinese conglomerate Hengdian Group will
own the remaining 30 percent. The other financial details
of the joint venture, which will produce and distribute
films for the local market, are yet to be disclosed. Foreign
entertainment companies have been wanting for long to gain
entry in China's huge lucrative market of 1.3 billion consumers,
but till now, foreign companies have only been allowed to
sign production deals of one picture at a time as far as
filming in China is concerned. "This is a very significant
development. To have a one-off co- production, you don't
have the ability to develop an organisation," the report
quoted Ellen Elisoph, the managing director of Warner Bros
Pictures China, as saying.

pain relieving treatment called cupping therapy. The 'Titanic'

very effective. "Before I had it, the herbalist said, 'You're

don't know.' But it helped. Marvellous," the report quoted
Winslet as saying.
