The prince was said to have intervened after hearing that Hussain had been sentenced to death by a religious court after he was cleared by Pakistan's High Court, the Times of London said.
Meanwhile, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf sought legal advice about a possible pardon for the former British soldier.
