Sealed with a kiss - Prince Harry’s night out after training day at RAF Henlow

Prince Harry made the headlines this weekend when he kissed a man for a bottle of lager.

Harry was with friends from RAF Henlow on a night out in Stevenage when he was given the cheeky proposal by petrol station manager Rocky Bennett.

Speaking to News of the World Mr Bennett, 21, said: “I went up to him and told him I would love to buy him a drink – if he gave me a kiss. Harry just burst out laughing, threw his arms around me and kissed me on the left cheek.

“I’m not going to wash my face for a month now! “It was the best moment of my life. I just burst into tears, he’s so down to earth.”

The bizarre encounter came as Harry, 25, enjoyed a midweek night out at the Liquid nightclub.

Mr Bennett added: “It was so crazy to see Harry out in Stevenage. It’s not exactly the most exotic place. He went upstairs to the VIP lounge at first but then came down to the main bar.

“He was with about eight other guys and security was tight but when I went over to him he was lovely. I told him how much I had admired his mother Princess Diana and how I thought she would be proud of him.

“He seemed very merry but he was still willing to talk to people. So I went to the bar to buy him a drink and got my kiss.”

After the night out the Prince was spotted in the McDonald’s restaurant nearby.

Harry’s spokesman confirmed the prince and his pals had been unwinding after a day in the classroom. The Prince was guarded all evening by three Royal Protection Officers.
