Prince Harry has got front-row seats for the women’s beach volleyball at London 2012.

Prince Harry, 27, revealed: “I’ll try to get round to see as many things as possible. It’s going to be a fantastic event.

“Women’s volleyball, just to see Horse Guards Parade turn into a beach, I think is going to be amazing.

“I’ve got lots of Army friends that are coming down for that so we’ll be sitting there watching. Fingers crossed for the weather.”

BBC presenter Sue Barker, who was interviewing the Prince, said: “Of course you want to admire the tactical and technical part of that sport…”

The Prince giggled: “Of course, of course.”

Harry also plans to see both the 100m and 200m finals, as well as watching cousin Zara Phillips, 30, if she qualifies for Team GB’s equestrian squad.

Last night Harry’s volleyball plans did not go unnoticed on Twitter. Josh Gudgeon Tweeted: “What a boy!”

And David Beatson said: “That’s a monarch to be proud of!”

Plenty of girls saw the funny side of his comments too.

Ruth Clark Tweeted: “I love Prince Harry, he’s such a cheeky monkey. He’s looking forward to women’s volleyball in the Olympics... can’t think why.”
