Aug 8, 2006, 13:59 GMT
Britain's Prince Harry won £500 during a night gambling at a casino.
The 21-year-old royal was spotted trying his luck at roulette, blackjack and poker at Stanley's Casino in Bournemouth, Dorset, near his army training camp.
The young royal was reportedly accompanied by fellow officers from his Bovington army base and a mystery woman. An onlooker was quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper, as saying: 'It looked like their first visit to a casino because they just stood and watched the action at first. 'There was a good-looking girl with them - I think she was with one of the Prince's pals.' Despite drinking pints of lager, the group are said to have been well behaved and sensible with their cash. The source added: 'They started with roulette and then moved to the blackjack table - but they were being sensible and only playing with £5 chips. They were drinking pints of lager but they were very well-behaved and not at all rowdy. 'Harry built up quite a pile of chips before cashing them in and leaving.' Harry is not the only member of the royal family to have a passion for gambling.p'ueen Elizabeth regularly bets on horses, as did the Queen Mother.Copyright 2006 BANG Media International
