Princes On Wheels: Harry and Wills Do Africa
MONEY is no object for Prince Harry and Prince William.
Young Baseball Cap and Wills can do as they please, go where they like and empty the hotel mini bar – nuts, Pringles, the lot! - with not a care.
As is the way of the very rich, they enjoy experiencing poverty, spending their spare time digging wells in South America, hugging orphans in Lesotho and binge drinking.
Now the Mail reports that Harry and Wills are planning a trip to Africa. They will make the 1,000 miles journey through the dark continent on motorbikes.
The middle classes take coaches and trains, the rich take private jets, and the super rich go it the hard way.
Says the Mail: “They have the added advantage of local knowledge from Prince Harry’s on-off girlfriend Chelsy.”
Who knew Chelsy was a bush tracker? Apologies all round for believing Chelsy found watering holes and a places to lay her head within the pages of Abercrombie and Kent’s Africa brochure.
So now there’s nothing to stop Harry Baseball Cap and Wills from embarking on their adventure. And as soon as the sponsorship forms have gone out, and the locals formed into orderly crowds lining the roads and waving, the sooner the lads can be on their merry way…

Motorcycling around Africa? Sounds like fun.
But, I must ask, who’s paying for this? Aren’t these two supposed to be in the army?
Will the British taxpayer stump up for my next motorcycle trip?
Why am I ranting on about this?
Why indeed?

Looks like the boys have been inspired by the two chaps (chefs) on TV who motorbike around the world cooking. If the boys are raising money for a charity, good on them.
Watch out for the wildlife though and someone should make sure those motorcycles have a bit of power in them. Elephants have speed! Good on the boys.

sounds to me like they’ve been watching Ewan McGregor’s Long Way Down DVD a little too intently… you can be sure that they would have at least double the back up he had and someone to carry them over the muddy bits…

That’s hillarious.
Africa’s not for sissies.
