Harkin's boasts on tape
by MARTIN SMITH, Mail on Sunday
The Countess of Wessex's business partner and right-hand man Murray Harkin made a series of highly damaging claims in two meetings with a newspaper reporter posing as an Arab sheikh.
Harkin, 35, gave tips on sex tourism and offered to arrange a homosexual party for the phoney sheikh. He also boasted how Sophie's Royal status could be used as a promotional tool.
He discussed how having Sophie's name attached would 'enhance' any project because they could say they had the Queen's daughter-in-law involved.
And when told 'It's like having Princess Diana,' he replied: 'Except she's a lot more intelligent.'
Harkin bragged he could get 'A-list people' along to a London dinner party for the sheikh's clients and promised that gay young English boys could also be arranged.
He also revealed to undercover News of the World reporter Mazher Mahmood - posing as an Arab sheikh - in a secretly-taped interview how he has in the past used cocaine and Ecstasy.
