Prince Harry was alleged by a furious motorist to have been a passenger in a speeding Audi R8 on a British motorway. The motorist alleged that the protection officers intimidated him in their police car.

However, more interesting is the relationship between Audi and the Family and the cars they are given:

Prince Charles has an Audi A8 limousine and two Audi estate cars, Prince William has an Audi S4 V8 saloon and Harry has an Audi A3 turbo-diesel, the paper said.

It seems Audi doesn't like Prince Harry. Whilst his father gets three cars, including the range-topper, and his brother gets a powerful sports saloon, he's stuck with the entry-level diesel.

What a whining pussy.

From his "version" of the story, it sounds like he pulle dout and tried to block the other speeding car... then he discovered it was cops he shit himself.

What a loser.

Maybe next time, he wont be a total prick and try bock the other fast moving car.

Not much of a company director if he cant tale a little intimidation

- I bet he is a real arsehole and bully to employees... but at heart is just a wimp.

obviously people should drive safely, and i am in no way a fan of tail-gating... but what was he doing in the middle lane anyway? if he was so concerned about his family he should've stuck to the slow lane ... but 110 kph on the faster lanes and he complains that he was pressured into giving way? that's just dumb

but lol at harry having a diesel A3 while his brother rolls around in an S4

I'm more surprised they are allowed to drive autos from other countries other than Great Britain, i guess since they aren't elected it doesn't matter what they drive.

^Well, the House of Windsor is actually German. Queen Victoria married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, a German royal line, and Kings Edward VII and George V ruled as such. Victoria herself was descended from the Hanover line. It was only changed to Windsor when the British went to war with the Germans and George V thought it inappropriate to associate the Family with Germany. Of course, Germany was ruled by his cousin, so he wasn't fooling anyone.

The English often say that they've never had an English head of state since 1066. With a few exceptions, it's pretty much true.

The Queen used to have an awesome Phantom IV earlier. Then they moved onto Daimlers. And now Audi ... I guess they will go for anything that is free ... Kia Sephia perhaps ... LOL
