Prince Harry does a tandem

PRINCE Harry shows he’s an heir-devil — as he SKYDIVES for girlfriend Chelsy Davy.

Besotted Harry, 21, accepted a dare from stunning Chelsy to make his first parachute jump yesterday.

She had been teasing him since she did a jump for her 20th birthday last November, asking if he also had the nerve to hurl himself out of a plane.

Newly-qualified Army officer Harry proved he DID — by stepping out of a Cessna strapped to an instructor 10,000ft over bush near Cape Town, South Africa.

Chelsy whooped and cheered as she spotted her Prince, third in line to the throne, as a dot in the blue skies over her homeland.

Harry and his instructor free-fell for 40 seconds at up to 120mph, temporarily blinded as they went through thick white cloud.

As they emerged the instructor pulled the ripcord and they floated down for a perfect landing.

Harry — wearing his trademark scruffy jeans, military-issue desert boots and a grey hoodie — gave Chelsy a double thumbs-up as she took pictures.

An eye witness at the Skydive Cape Town jump site said: “Chelsy had dared Harry to do it after she did her own skydive last year and he told her that anything she could do, he could!”


“There was a loud shout of ‘Yes!’ from Chelsy as she saw his purple parachute suddenly open.” Harry has been enjoying a holiday in South Africa with Chelsy before he returns to join his new regiment, the Blues and Royals.

He had been trying all week to make the jump but 75mph winds had ruled it out. Yesterday the weather cleared and Chelsy drove Harry out to the remote airfield in snake-infested countryside.

He had to sign indemnity forms, was given a 15-minute talk and his detective paid the £120 jump fee.

Harry’s instructor then said: “This is your last chance to back out, man. Once we take off you will leave that aircraft”.

Harry grinned back and said: “Let’s do it!”

During their descent the instructor executed a series of stomach-churning aerobatic moves, including somersaulting the parachute through 360 degrees.

On landing, Harry was unstrapped from him and told to “thank the man who just saved your life”. Chelsy then rushed over and hugged Harry tightly.

An eye-witness said: “It was an amazing show of affection. She said she was so proud of him. Harry was just full of adrenaline and saying, ‘You lose the dare! What’s next?’.”


During their time together in Cape Town the young lovebirds have spent ten idyllic days at Chelsy’s £350,000 flat.

They have partied hard with pals and spent lazy afternoons by the pool. A friend said: “Harry is totally in love with Chelsy and she’s the same about him.”

I can see it now...Harry sells all his worldly possesions to sign up for AFF. I wonder if he knows what Ramen noodles tastes like?

:D:D
My reality and yours are quite different.

Clearly he's already a skydiver in spirit. Did anyone see the size of his girlfriend's boobies?:o

Probably the same thing we call "industrial haze" here in the U.S.

Somehow, though, I can't see her as queen; good thing he's got an older brother.

I mean -- Queen Chelsy? Might as well be Queen Brittney or Poopsie or something like that...

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

She's got HUUUUGE.....tracts of land!

Back in my first skydiving life I was a regular instructor; it was interesting listening to the other instructors talking about how much fun it was to tighten harnesses on girls with "big hands."
