Privates on parade for Britain's Prince Harry

London (AFP) - Britain's Prince Harry was forced to drop his trousers during a military parade to prove he did not have his girlfriend's name tattooed on his royal rear, a British newspaper said.

The 21-year-old son of Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, is halfway through his British Army officer training course at the elite Sandhurst academy.

The Sun, Britain's biggest-selling daily, said Harry, third in line to the throne, was ordered to bare his bum after rumours spread he had blonde Zimbawean-born girlfriend Chelsy Davy's name inked on.

During a parade, a colour sergeant yelled: "Cadet Wales, drop your pants and show me your backside!"

Harry, apparently oblivious to the rumour, replied: "Are you serious?" before being ordered: "Just get them off, I want to see if it's true", The Sun said.

The prince had his trousers around his knees before the grinning colour sergeant said: "It's OK, Wales, I'll take your word for it!"

An unnamed member of Harry's platoon told The Sun: "It was the funniest thing any of us have seen for ages. Everyone had heard the rumour but no one wanted to ask Harry if it was true.

"Then one of the colour sergeants decided to play a trick on Harry in front of the whole platoon.

"You should have seen Harry's face. We all fell about laughing. Harry blushed, then he also laughed."

The Sun said the manner in which Harry took the joke on the chin proved the young prince was "made of the Right Stuff."

The Sun is a vulgar newspaper with pretence to be as vulgar as possible.

Damn, I want to meet that Colour Sergeant, he just made himself a living legend. Or it's just all bollocks.

Perhaps the post should have been to the NAFFI Bar forum.

Vulgar as depicting the spare heir heil'in Hither? ...naww... if your
'Colour Sergeant' yells...you better hop or in this case 'drop'.

It's not so unusual really...in fact I'VE GOT Chelsy Davy's face
sticthed on MY 'Royal'. Just pinch our 'cheek' and we goose step!

(Besides...they don't call him 'Harry' for nothing)

No pretence about it - it achieves vulgarity on a regular basis!

Ha! Funny story but I do hope his platoon aren't telling tales to the newspapers.

Mind you it could be quite a nice little money spinner. Make up a story about one of them... 'future King picks nose during lecture' or some such rubbish... sell story to the scum - together with a couple of pictures... split the proceeds between myself and Harry/William...

Harry/William - PM me if you are reading this.

Tricam.
