PRINCE Harry will not be forced to visit Auschwitz or make a televised apology for his Nazi fancy dress stunt after Prince Charles decided his son should not be "hung out to dry".

The Prince of Wales is angry his son is being pilloried for what he regards as a silly, but harmless, prank.

Lord Levy, a senior member of Britain's Jewish community joined the debate by saying he was appalled.

"He has let the country down," he said.

Prince Charles does not agree.

After meeting senior officials, he made it clear he would refuse to bow to political pressure from senior politicians, including Tory leader Michael Howard, who demanded Harry make a televised apology.

One senior official said: "As far as the Prince is concerned, Harry has apologised for his mistake. He has said sorry and that is the end of the matter."

It was also decided there would be no gesture such as a trip by Harry to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
