Prince Harry spotted at burlesque bar

Britain's Prince Harry enjoyed a night out at a burlesque show with a mystery blonde friend this weekend.

The 26-year-old monarch - who is rumoured to have reconciled with former girlfriend Chelsy Davy - was spotted exiting The Box bar in Soho, London, on Saturday (12.02.11) after watching a risque performance for his companion's birthday party according to the Daily Mail.

One partygoer said: "We were a bit shocked to see a prince in a place like this but he went down a storm.

"He had a few drinks too, and was more than a little worse for wear by the end of the night."

Harry's night out may have been all in the name of research - as those close to him say he is planning to book a burlesque act to perform at his brother Prince William's bachelor party later this year.

Friends say he has asked kinky duo Sweet Harlots if they are free for a special party at London's Clarence House before his 28-year-old brother marries Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey on April 29.

One pal told the Daily Star: "Two of Harry's closest friends saw the girls perform at a private event in Kensington in October and kept in touch with them. They have since popped along to a couple of their Supper Club shows and were very impressed. It's the talk of Harry's circle.

"He doesn't want to let his brother down and wants to find something suitably saucy that won't get him into trouble. And even Kate wouldn't mind these girls. Although their set is very raunchy and they take their clothes off, it is intelligent and very theatrical. It's not sleazy or porno - it's sophisticated, sexy and beautifully staged."

The insider added the prince has researched the Sweet Harlots' act intensively and decided they have the right balance of fun and tasteful.

They continued: "Harry made sure he got a good look at the girls' act after meetings to discuss the sort of show they could provide. There were some involved discussions with Harry about the pair and he was shown a selection of the girls' videos and pictures online.

"Harry was impressed and decided they would be perfect for William's stag party but maybe with a slightly less shocking set."
