He vowed that his stint in the US would be all work and no play, but already Prince Harry has been accused of spending the night with cocktail waitress sporting a large tattoo – and an even bigger boyfriend.
The helicopter pilot prince, who is three weeks into an advanced weapons training course in California, apparently invited brunette Jessica Donaldson to his hotel room after a late-night drinking session.
According to staff at the Marriott hotel in Solano Beach, near San Diego, the pretty 26-year-old wasn’t seen leaving until 10.30am the next day.
Despite insisting that it ‘must have been some other girl’, Jessica, who lives with her boyfriend of three years, burly nightclub promoter Brandon Thomason, was positively identified by at least two independent sources.
The 27-year-old prince, who is third in line to the throne, met Jessica, who has a rose tattoo running across her midriff, when he visited the Ivy nightclub in San Diego, a two hour drive from his base on Friday, October 7.
She works there as a ‘bottle girl’, selling over-priced vodka to tables of wealthy punters at £350 a time.
Harry, who was with a large group of army air corps colleagues as well as his Scotland Yard security detail, bought two bottles and began chatting to Jessica.
At the end of the night, a man she believed was one of his bodyguards asked for her number and said the prince would like to meet her for brunch the next day.
Jessica and a friend met up with him and his group for scrambled eggs and carried on drinking fruit cocktails at a Mexican bar for the rest of the day.
