These stories actually sound like playground gossip, and I frankly have difficulty believing either of them.

Prince Harry locks himself in loo

Prince Harry fled and locked himself in a loo as a pack of frantic girls chased him during a night out in a club at De Niros in Newmarket, Suffolk. The Prince – who has been helicopter training at nearby RAF Wattisham – was relaxing with pals. The squealing fans followed him into the gents – then climbed up the side of the cubicle he was hiding in to take snaps of him on their mobile phones.

An onlooker grinned: “It was mayhem – when one girl spotted Harry they all went mad for him. They wanted their picture with him but he just wanted a quiet life, so he went to the gents toilet to get away. But nothing would put them off. They dashed after him and a group of them piled into the the toilet after him. The poor chap couldn’t even escape in there. He was just having a lads night out. In London clubs he and William are largely left alone, but Harry caused a bit of a stir out in the sticks.”

The Prince thought he was safe in the cubicle. But then the gents door burst open.  Harry laughed the incident off afterwards, joking to pals that it was like being one of the Beatles.

Chelsy tries to renew friendship with Bubble; Harry unhappy…

Chelsy Davy & Olivia Bubble Perry

Chelsy Davy & Olivia "Bubble" Perry

There’s renewed trouble in Prince Harry’s Royal circle after his girlfriend Chelsy Davy made up with her best friend Bubble.  The Prince and his friends had snubbed Bubble, real name Olivia Perry, suspecting the 25-year-old of leaking stories about him and Chelsy.

But now Chelsy  has extended an olive branch to Bubble which has not gone down well with Harry’s close pal Julz Erleigh, his girlfriend Davina Harbord and her sister Astrid.  They are furious at the decision to welcome Bubble back, and it caused a big row at Eighties-themed nightclub Maggie’s in Chelsea last week.

“Chelsy and Harry were out together on Friday night but they are in the middle of a social storm. Bubble has been a social outcast for months but Chelsy and Bubble are now planning a dinner party. Bubble is even making a speech,” said a friend. “Chelsy thinks it is childish to hold a grudge against Olivia, so she’s told pals to pick a side and stick to it.”

Lovely Bubby Prince Harry

**Updated with denial from St. James’ Place**

Generous Prince Harry treated complete strangers to £200 bottles of vintage champagne on a £10,000 booze bender. He splashed out the small fortune in the VIP section of his favourite Boujis nightspot. Harry arrived at Boujis in Kensington with chums on Friday, but girlfriend Chelsy Davy was not among them.

Clubber Mustafa Ahmed said: “My mate saw Harry and we bought him a bottle of champagne because we like the guy. He’s a bit of a hero as he fought for his country. Half an hour later he returned the favour with interest and bought us two bottles. He must have had about 15 bottles of champagne on his table and I reckon he splashed out on more than double that for other people, he was really generous. The bottles go for £200 a pop in there, but he just kept ordering. He must have shelled out about £10,000 in about four hours.”


Article: The Sun

**Update** Alas, St. James’ Place denied the story with this statement: “Prince Harry spent approximately an hour and-a-half at the nightclub, where he enjoyed a bottle of beer and a glass of champagne. Prince Harry did not buy anyone else any drinks.” Apparently, his night out in London was hosted by a friend.

The Sun also printed an apology with the headline “Sorry, Harry.”  “Prince Harry did not go on a bender and spend £10k on champagne at a nightclub as we suggested in Monday’s paper. We are happy too clarify this and wish Harry the best off luck in his exams!”

Chelsy Davy and the mystery of why she missed the ball

Prince Harry’s girlfriend had been expected as the star turn at the Pearl Ball at the Westbury hotel in London on Thursday (April 1) to raise money for under-privileged children in the African country, but she pulled out at the last minute.

Mandrake hears whispers that the prince had an unexpected “window” and offered to whisk her away for a few days. Ronald Ndoro, the charity’s operations manager, later said: “She dropped me a note saying she was sorry, but she had to go away – it was a surprise.”

Perhaps Mandrake doesn’t know that Chelsy has been pictured in a beach in Mauritius on March 30, which is probably why she missed the ball.

Prince Harry’s spokesperson said he spent Easter in the UK.

Chelsy: I won’t be Harry-ed

Chelsy Davy is vowing she won’t marry into the Royal Family – because she wants a “proper” career. The party-loving heiress, 24, told pals she loves Prince Harry, but the thought of being a princess fills her with dread. Instead Chelsy – who has bagged a training post with a top law firm – is determined to carve out a career as a lawyer.

A chum said: “She does not see herself cutting ribbons for a job. She worked hard at uni and won’t throw it all away. Settling down to a life working for the Royals is just not what she is about.”

Chelsy Davy gives up burgers — and drops a dress size

Chelsy Davy has cut out junk food and lost 5lb, dropping a dress size. She shares boyfriend Prince Harry’s penchant for McDonalds, but has quit burgers in a bid to lose weight.

A friend says: ‘Chelsy is happy with her body but she hated the area around her chin and wanted to look less jowly. She went on a healthy eating regime and is surprised how much weight she has lost. She’s also working out and cutting down on her partying.’

Cost-Cutting Queen Wants to Slash Monarchy to Four

the Fab Four of the Royal Family?

the Fab Four of the Royal Family?

The Queen is wielding the axe to chop the monarchy down to a “fab four” – of herself, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry. Her scheme is set to be phased in from June, when Princes William and Harry go on their first ever joint tour.
The slimmed-down line-up will see a cull of B-list royals, with the biggest losers being Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

It means taxpayers will not have to fork out so much for the family – and the Queen hopes it will also strengthen their public image.

Royals Target Scapegoat in Privacy Fight

Mar 29

Posted by britishroyals in Kate Middleton*, Prince Harry, Prince William | 1 Comment

Kate Middleton’s recent privacy suit has gotten more interesting.  Rex Features has already settled.  Ikon Pictures, as well as photographer Niraj Tanna, are still under negotiations – but are also looking to settle.  Now, The Express publishes an interesting story on what could have happened and (more importantly) why Kate pressed charges for the Christmas tennis photos.

As always, take this story with a grain of salt…

Photographs of Kate Middleton playing tennis on Christmas Day were seen by the Press Complaints Commission as they were sent to ­newspapers, despite her claim that they invaded her privacy. Sources close to photographer Niraj Tanna say he was advised by the PCC that as long as he hadn’t ­harassed Kate and had taken the photos from a public place, he had acted within their Code of ­Practice. He continues to claim he did not harass Kate or take pictures of the family during Christmas lunch.

Tanna is, however, not fighting the case because he cannot afford to lose. “He can’t afford to go to court even though he’s got a good case. It’s a real David and ­Goliath situation, him versus ­Harbottle & Lewis”

The Express claims Tanna has developed good rapport with Kate over the years, and that her parents even approached him for some shots for their family album. As a photographer, he turns up in events not even the more experienced paps know about… and is suspected of having a mole close inside the royal circle. Nevertheless, Prince William and Harry despise Tanna. Harry has once got into an altercation with him outside Boujis nightclub.

So Is Tanna the royals’ scapegoat?
