Britain's Prince Harry reportedly sent a naughty action man figure of himself to girlfriend Chelsy Davy before he left for Canada this week.

The 23-year-old royal made some raunchy adjustments to the 12-inch doll - which is being sold in an Army uniform, representing Harry from his time with the Blues and Royals cavalry regiment in Afghanistan, on the internet for Ł68 - before posting it to 22-year-old Chelsy.

Britain's Prince Harry was nearly killed while serving in Afghanistan, it has been revealed.

The 23-year-old royal narrowly missed being hit by a 170mm missile rocket while he was fighting outside Musa Qala in the Helmland Province in February, just days before he was removed from the country because his presence had been revealed. A senior army source said: "He was lucky - the strike was well within shrapnel range of where he was. It was a bit hairy and it certainly got the blood pumping."

It was a double date night for Prince William and Prince Harry, when they took their girlfriends to the Boodles Boxing Ball on Saturday. The event was an evening of entertainment benefiting the Starlight charity, which grants wishes for terminally and seriously ill children.

Close to 800 guests attended the event, including Prince William and his girlfriend Kate Middleton and Prince Harry and his girlfriend Chelsy Davy.

Britain's Prince William has been named the world's hottest royal.

The future king - who is dating Kate Middleton - beat brother Prince Harry and cousins Zara Phillips and Princess Beatrice to the top honor in forbes.com's list.

Prince William and Prince Harry are used to being in the media spotlight. As they have grown older, however, there is something else that has become an obsession of the media - their love lives.

When Prince Harry received a medal for his tour in Afghanistan on Monday, his girlfriend Chelsy Davy was in the audience, seated next to his brother Prince William. The British media has been speculating for some time if Harry and Chelsy are on-again or off-again.
