Britain's Prince Harry sweet-talks way into disco

Britain's Prince Harry sweet-talked his way into a university disco - after being told soldiers were banned.

The prince and a group of his friends from Sandhurst Military Academy were confronted by a bouncer at Reading University.

The youngsters were told: 'Sorry lads - you're barred.'

The ban was imposed at the Extra-Time club because soldiers from the famous Surrey army base keep winning over the prettiest girls - and causing trouble with their boyfriends.

An insider is quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: 'Harry had never been barred from anywhere in his life.

'The guy on the door was very firm and told him soldiers were not allowed in because of trouble in the past.

'Harry just could not believe he was being booted out. They had all had quite a few drinks and were in the mood for a big night out.'

One of Harry's minders summoned a students' union official and the group were given instant admission - plus a VIP room where they could drink in private.

A union source was quoted in the newspaper as saying: 'They just wanted to get onto the cheap beers and watch the girls dancing.

'When they got inside the girls were round them like flies to a honeypot.

'It wound up a lot of the guys - which is what normally happens when the Sandhurst boys breeze in because they act like they own the place and pull the best girls.'

'A union committee member was called down to the door and, when he realised it was Prince Harry, nearly fell over himself.

'Harry is welcome back anytime.'
