Prince Harry becomes 'Prince of Nails' on Royal night-out with William
WACKY Prince Harry goes from hero soldier to Hello Sailor for a night on the town.
He was snapped looking cuticle in shocking pink NAIL VARNISH as he left a nightclub yesterday.
An onlooker said: "To see Harry with his nails painted was a bit bizarre to say the least.
"We all know he likes the ladies and has served in Afghanistan, so it was a bit of a shock.
Comic
"I can't imagine it going down to well with his military mates.
"He's supposed to be hard as nails - not painting them."
Harry was partying at Raffles, in Chelsea, south-west London - the same club where he romanced society beauty Astrid Harbord last weekend.
But there was no sign this time of millionaire's daughter Astrid, 27, who went back to Clarence House with him at 3.15am last Saturday.
Brother William was also out clubbing alone on Comic Relief night - half a mile down the road.
The swanky venue, named after the Caribbean island of St Kitts, is a favourite with Kate, who celebrated her 26th birthday there.
It is popular for its vibrant party spirit, rum-based cocktails and tropical bar food.
William and Harry are both training to be helicopter pilots and were enjoying a weekend's leave.
Harry has been out on the town more since he split from long-term girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
Friends say the pair have met up since they parted in January and are on good terms.
One said: "They are still pals and hope to remain so in the future."
Meanwhile no one knows the unvarnished truth of why Harry polished his nails.
Perhaps he was late picking up on a trend kicked off by David Beckham in 2002.
Stores reported a surge in the number of men asking for varnish after the soccer star was pictured wearing it.
Prank
Other male celebrities spotted with coloured nails include American rocker Lenny Kravitz, actor Antonio Banderas and actor and film director Quentin Tarantino.
Clarence House refused to comment on the Prince of Nails.
But a souce said: "I wouldn't be surprised if Harry did it for a bet - or to raise cash for Comic Relief.
"He can be quite a prankster".

Just let him be. He's young and tries to be happy according with his age. It doesn't matter the nail's colour.... pink, blue, yellow or black. I think it doesn't offended somebody.
Can you leave him live his own life in peace ???
Believe me, his not crazy. He only wanna have fun. He knows what is he doing with himself, remember we are young once on our lives.
Take care of yourself Harry, Good bless you and continue being happy with your life.

To answer those who asked: we know he is thick because of his serious lack of achievement at school. If he had not been born in the right bed, he'd be in the dole queue today.

We , the taxpayer , did not pay for his night out except that we do pay , indirectly , for all the armed forces . He is a serving officer and is paid as such . I wonder how many other service personnel had a night out but because they are not 'royal' nothing is said . Give the Princes some breathing space . And Rosie , go jump in the Thames.

Rosie, shut-up, the young guy is enjoying himself, because his of aristocracy doesn’t mean he has no potential to lead men into battle, he is having fun, if he had suddenly been drafted out to Afghanistan yesterday I doubt he would have complained about losing his night out. The young man has a life of privilege but has shown he is willing to fight for his country and doesn’t want to be treated differently. Do you seriously think if he was 'thick' they would allow him to fly a helicopter, do you think his peers are silly and would sacrifice lives because the 'thick' prince wants to fly? He is young leave him to his youth, he is in touch with the world unlike his father or Prince Andrew, even worse that pathetic Uncle Edward who couldn’t handle a life in the forces. Go Harry have fun, nice to know your out there, I bet you would be a lot of fun!

Harry wanted people to see the red polish and the red/pink shorts. he obviously did it as a bet.

This guy is an absolute moron. Beats me why the press gives such prominence to his idiotic vagarities. He's a blot on the Royal Family!

Absolutely spot on Rosie m. With his pathetic educational achievements (after the best education money can buy) this clown should never have been accepted for Sandhurst.

Pink nail varnish with a grey top, whatever next!!!

No stories of this revolting pair are capable of shcking any longer - the are a disgrace to HM The Queen.
By ROGER.. Posted March 15 2009 at 9:50 AM.
Rosie M have you ever met Harry how do you know he is thick? Do you think the army would have let him pass out and go on tour and learn to fly a helicopter if he was thick i think not. You need to keep your opinions on things like this to yourself as you are obviously very ignorant on the subjects.
All the boys in the forces work hard and deserve a break to let their hair down just let them get on with it!!

Harry had the red nails and Wills the red nose.he he. Enjoy yourselves lads.
By mrs_spratt.. Posted March 15 2009 at 9:11 AM.
has nobody actually thought about why he had only one hand painted....and to me it looks red not pink....I actually think he has been sponsored for red nose day by his friends to go out like that...and good on him if he has..
By julia.. Posted March 15 2009 at 8:41 AM.
Rosie M... your comments have the horrible smell of jealousy and spite! It doesn't matter who he is, or what family he was born into, he is a young man who wants to enjoy his youth. People criticised his father who grew up out of touch with the real people of this country, now people like you want to do the same to the younger royals who seem to be more in touch. What exactly is it that spiteful people like you want???
By Kelly.. Posted March 15 2009 at 7:54 AM.
Actually Rosie m, although it is unfortunate that the front line men and women tend to be 'working class' it is because they enrol as infantry not because someone decides they should be at the front, and it is not just 'working class' that die as you will find if you research some of those killed. Also I don't think 'our taxes' paid for his nail varnish, and with your attitude I'd be surprised to find you worked for a living. Yet another idiot who wants a 'classless society but uses terms like 'aristocracy' and 'working class' more than anyone. Shut up and lighten up!

Nasty Rosie M! Thick Rosie M! It was Comic Relief. Where's YOUR sense of humour oh chippy girl?!
By Posh Fiona.. Posted March 15 2009 at 7:20 AM.
Makes you wonder why the biggest fools have the most money and power. I don't mind if he's young and having fun but I do mind that taxpayers are paying for it. Harry is thick and should , at the very most, be a private assigned to menial tasks. It's very scary that he would be a leader taking men into battle.[They ,of course would be killed while he hides on the sidelines]. Nothing has changed where the aristocracy is concerned and the working class will always be destined to be cannon fodder.

DUH ..... HAS EVERYONE MISSED THE POINT HERE!
IT WAS COMIC RELIEF DAY AND HARRY WAS SHOWING HIS SUPPORT.
NO BIG DEAL THEN ... AND NO BIG STORY!
By JuJu.. Posted March 15 2009 at 6:57 AM.
Don't read anything into this. Modern day young men get up to all sorts of things. As long as Prince Harry is happy that is the main thing. He does not have a real mentor in his life. His father does not seem to care, he has a wicked step-mother but please remember he had a very caring and loving mother who he so tragically lost who he needed her to support him. Good luck to you Harry.
