Even the Royals get phones stolen!


We’ve all been there…dancing away in a nightclub and the realisation hits that our mobile is no longer in its usual place. Scouring the floor we know that it is either somewhere around us, in another pocket or in the worst case, that someone has nicked it from us.

Apparently the Royals are no different to us as Prince Harry discovered last week when he was enjoying a night out in a dark nightclub in Lesotho. Prince Harry was spending time in the small African town working on charity projects, when a pickpocket took his phone and ran off. Little did this Artful Dodger know that it in fact belonged to a Prince who had high level security around him.

Officers from the Lesotho Defence Force eventually managed to track down the culprit two days later and retrieved the phone and said, “When we eventually found the culprit it took quite some time to explain to him that he had stolen from the prince. To him Prince Harry was just one of those white guys.”

The Prince decided not to press charges against the thief and was said to be relieved that his contacts list had not gone astray. Yes we all have our phones stolen before but seldom do we have such little problem getting them back – oh to be a Royal!

Taxpayers’ money well spent ah?!

I can finally sleep tight knowing that his Highness contacts and private messages are now safe. We wouldn’t want everyone to know the content of his text messages between him and his various female friend right?!

Oh… hang on, the Sun gets a copy of all records on a daily basis and his adventures are then shared with the entire world.

So YES, taxpayers’ money well spent. We have basically paid twice for information that is worth nothing!
