Flash Prince Harry beats Usain Bolt
Flash Prince Harry beats Usain Bolt, Prince Harry Takes On World's Fastest Man, Racing against Usain Bolt is a daunting task, so cheeky Prince Harry jumped the gun to get ahead. Prince Harry had a mock race with the world's fastest man, Usain Bolt, after touching down in Jamaica as part of his Royal tour of the Carribean. Sporting a Jamaican colours track suit the young Royal lined up in the blocks against the Olympic track star at the University of the West Indies stadium in Kingston.
But the prince stole a march on Bolt by sprinting off on a false start before faking a leg injury as he crossed the line.
In a relaxed and light hearted encounter the pair then made Bolt's signature victory pose before the prince was given a few running tips from the world's best.
Harry , who was welcomed to Jamaica with a 21-gun salute, is visiting the West Indian island on the final leg of his Diamond Jubilee tour on behalf of his grandmother, the Queen.
He flew there from the Bahamas where he honoured fallen servicemen in a wreath-laying ceremony.
Jamaica is celebrating 50 years of independence from Great Britain this year.
The prince is likely to get a cooler reception when he meets the Jamaican prime minister Portia Simpson Miller later, she wants the Caribbean nation to drop the queen as head of state.
The prime minister has said if Britain wants to apologise for the years of "wicked and brutal" slavery suffered by the islanders at its hands, it would be "fine"
.
.
"No race should have been subjected to what our ancestors were subjected to," added Ms Simpson Miller.
"If Britain wishes to apologise, fine with us, no problem at all."
"We came on a long journey, from slavery to adult suffrage to our independence," continued Ms Simpson Miller.
"We are a nation where our maturity is now saying we should look to a form of government which at this time would take full charge of our destiny."
Her vow to cut ties with the Queen could see Jamaica become a republic in a matter of months, probably after a referendum.
"I'm not going to give any time frame. We will be celebrating our 50th anniversary in August, so for us to be looking at changes now, is an appropriate time in our history", she explained.
But she added: "It's not a matter of getting rid of the Queen. As a matter of fact, I want you to know I have said on many occasions, I admire the Queen. I'm fond of her, she is a beautiful lady. Our bonds will remain strong."
The prince will meet Ms Simpson Miller at a lunch reception in Kingston today.
