Prince Harry and the Smokebombs
Prince Harry’s practical joking got him into trouble over the weekend when he caused havoc at a friend’s 21st birthday party by throwing smoke bombs into a marquee full of guests.
At around 1 am, people dancing inside the tent had to escape onto the lawn, bringing the party to an abrupt end and recriminations from alarmed guests.
The marquee was filled with smoke for more than two hours horrifying party-goers.
Lucy Kent, whose birthday it was, is said to have been very upset by the sudden end to the celebrations at her parents’ house near Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The party was due to go on all night.
Lucy belongs to Harry’s close social circle and was formerly a girlfriend of the notorious Guy Pelly.
“She was really cross about it,” said a guest. “The party was meant to be an all-nighter but after Harry released these toxic things at about one o’clock in the morning everyone had to get out. Until then everybody had been dancing but the disco had to stop – he ruined it for everyone.”
That was a mean thing to do to a friend’s birthday party–is Harry an idiot? Who is Guy Pelly and why is he so notorious?

He’s notorious, Pri, for being the “court jester” to William and Harry. He’s famous for pranks and outrageous activities.

It’s ridiculous that because of Harry’s celebrity status, this story is considered newsworthy! He ruined a friend’s party. Unfortunate, yes. Newsworthy, no!
