Britain's Prince Harry was verbally attacked by a violent drunk during a night out with girlfriend Chelsy Davy. The prince and the Zimbabwe-born blonde were at London's Azteca Latin Lounge when an inebriated man launched a barrage of abuse at Harry on Wednesday night.
Witnesses claim he shouted: "I f***ing hate the royal family. Who do you think you are in here?
"Why don't you p**s off to Iraq and get yourself killed, you ginger t**t."
The prince's protection officers stepped in and removed the drunken thug from the Chelsea cocktail bar.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "This guy came out of nowhere and just started hurling abuse at Prince Harry.
"There didn't seem to be any reason for it. You could see the guy had clearly had a lot to drink. Harry's reaction was one of shock. He stood facing the guy - and then the chap lunged at Harry as if he was trying to punch him. That was when his bodyguards intervened.
"It could have gotten ugly but Harry kept his temper and let it sort itself out."
A spokesman for Clarence House said: "An individual lunged at Prince Harry but there was no physical contact. There was no scuffle."
The 22-year-old prince and Chelsy, 21, were enjoying the time they have left together before Army officer Harry is deployed to fight in Iraq with his Blues and Royals regiment.
