A Brisbane bar owner at the centre of an ID scandal involving Danish Crown Prince Frederik has demanded an apology from Queensland's top cop.
Police Commissioner Ian Stewart on Tuesday said the prince had not been initially turned away by Jade Buddha security on Friday night, in line with the state's tough new alcohol laws.
It contradicted comments made by bar co-owner Phil Hogan earlier in the day, who said Prince Frederik was refused entry because he didn't have identification.
Mr Hogan said the prince's entourage was initially told he could not enter, but the royal was later allowed into the venue after police officers from the Dignitary Protection Unit assured them the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation had agreed to make an exception for the future king.
In response to Mr Stewart's comments, Mr Hogan released CCTV footage on Wednesday that appeared to show the prince's security detail being turned away.
They returned about 50 minutes later with the prince and the group entered the bar.
Mr Hogan told AAP he wanted an apology from Mr Stewart over comments the bar owner was "just not right" about what occurred, but he did not want to speak to him.
"He should've talked to me yesterday before he made that public comment and defamed me like that," he said on Wednesday.
He also claimed by the time he sent a text to his brother telling him to allow the group to enter, police had already "breezed through" with the prince.
"They couldn't do anything to stop them," he said.
Mr Stewart said he would not apologise to Mr Hogan and claimed he had "never said" he or his staff did anything wrong.
"I'm happy to talk to Phil but I have never contradicted what his perception of the events were, I've never done that," he told ABC Radio Brisbane on Wednesday.
"And I've never said that he said anything purposely that was wrong."
Mr Stewart maintained the prince's police protection officers had an initial conversation with bar security but the royal was not there.
"That conversation led to a rebuff," he said.
"I believe that the security personnel thought that the police might have been joking about the prince being in town and wanting to go to the Jade Buddha.
"They went away as they're trained to do.
"They then came back a short time later without the prince and they had a longer conversation with security."
