PRINCE HARRY will run against 100m world record holder Usain Bolt on a visit to Jamaica next month according to a report in the Daily Telegraph.

The Prince will stop off at the Olympic champion’s training track in Kingston during his first solo foreign tour.

The Prince, who is an Olympic ambassador for Team Great Britain, is hoping to challenge Bolt to a “fun” race if it does not interrupt the athlete’s training schedule.

A visit to Bolt’s University of the West Indies based training facility will be on Prince Harry’s itinerary when he visits Jamaica at the beginning of March as the Royal family begin Diamond Jubilee tours of every Commonwealth country.

The 27-year-old Prince is also expected to meet Jamaica’s Prime Minister, Portia Simpson Miller, who said in January that she intended to remove the Queen as head of state to turn the country into a republic.
