No curry for Prince Harry

Britain's Prince Harry has reportedly banned cooks at Sandhurst Military Academy from serving him curry - because he's eaten too much of it.

The young royal allegedly told chefs at the world-renowned college - where he is enrolled in officer training - he loved curry, so they started making it for him every night.

Harry is said to have got so fed up with the spicy diet it he begged them to stop making it for a while.

An insider told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Harry was quick to let the kitchen boys know that he loves a good curry and his favourite is madras. But they've taken things a bit too far and it's beyond a joke.

"Now Harry has put his foot down because he's sick of a constant curry diet."

Earlier this month, it was revealed Harry is being considered for promotion to sergeant or corporal after just five months in the British Army.

Officers are reportedly impressed with the prince's hardworking attitude and leadership skills and are considering rewarding him.

An insider said: "Harry is doing well at Sandhurst. He should find out within a month if he is being made up to corporal or sergeant and he is in with a very good chance.

"Harry has shown excellent leadership qualities, and is particularly comfortable on field exercises. That's where it counts - when you and your mates are under fire."
