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."
I SO! Need to become the prince of a major western nation.
" . . . rumours spread he had blonde Zimbawean-born girlfriend Chelsy Davy's name inked on."
Ha! The Queen would NOT approve.
Yes!! I think I'm in love. (Or maybe she's just a Magnum P.I. fan)
When I first opened this thread, I had very low expectations. I was clearly wrong and I expect I will be returning to the ROCKING threat throughout the day.
And a limp lower... I'd better not! ;-P
ROFL!
It's good to be prince!
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.
Ya, happens to me all the time. :p
Those crazy Brits and their inbred royalty. Har, har!
Yeah. European rednecks.
I personally have a hard time understanding the concept of British royalty. They have no real power, so why keep them around? And if they do have power, why don't they use it, instead of just sitting around providing material for the tabloids? Apparently they have no function, so why do the Brits keep them around? It's like God, when creating the Limeys, put a little space in their minds saying "Kings. What a good idea."
Thanks!
