Prince Harry has been spotted out drinking with Madonna and husband Guy Richie. He is said to have spent more than two hours talking to the so-called Queen of Pop at Mayfair’s Mahiki club.

Big ears listening in say they discussed Madonna and Guy’s adoption of African baby David Banda last October while consuming £100 ($194) champagne Treasure Chest cocktails.

Harry told the couple about the orphans he has befriended in Africa and his charity, Sentebale, which helps thousands of Aids orphans in Lesotho.

One onlooker said: “Harry wasn’t drunk, even though he had a few cocktails from the Mahiki Treasure Chest. The more he talked to Guy about Africa, Aids and the children, the more he was tearful. He seems to be a very sensitive guy.

“He also gushed to Guy about how caring his girlfriend Chelsy is towards the African orphans.”

The conversation moved on to training regimes and how far they ran during exercise. Inevitably the question of injuries came up and caused some mirth in the party.

Harry’s role in the Army probably allows him to advise even a devoted fitness feak like Madonna.
