It's definitely easier to get things accomplished when you're in the public eye. Celebrities get free clothes and swag at award shows and get to meet people they want to meet just because they have the same publicist. But Prince Harry is going to need a little more than fame to help him accomplish his new goal.
According to The Telegraph, Harry wants to race Olympic champion sprinter and the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt.
The Prince is an Olympic ambassador for the English team and plans to stop by Bolt's Olympic training track to challenge the 100m record holder to a "fun" race. "The Prince and Usain Bolt are keen for it to happen," said a royal source. "Because the visit is at a critical time in the run-up to the London 2012 Games, the whole thing will depend on Usain Bolt's training schedule, which the Prince obviously doesn't want to interrupt."
Harry will be in Jamaica during the month of March with the rest of the royal family on Diamond Jubilee, years of every Commonwealth country. People Magazine, reported that Prince Harry is the ambassador to the British teams for the 2012 Olympic games in London. While the Prince is very athletic and is a helicopter pilot in the British army, Bolt is expected to give Harry a few pointers, but not actually race him.
That probably works in the best interest of everyone involved. The Prince would surely be humiliated by the Olympic record holder and Bolt probably needs to maintain his training regiment for the fast approaching Olympic games.
