Prince Harry jumps off a perfectly good bridge
Daredevil Prince Harry poses with pals just moments before doing the world’s biggest bungee jump – from a height of 700ft.
The 23-year-old stunned locals by leaping and free-falling for four seconds attached to a cord at Bloukrans Bridge, South Africa.
Harry needed a little Dutch courage before his monster jump.
A tourist said: “Harry arrived with about seven mates and headed straight to the pub for a few beers.
“He obviously needed something to settle the nerves.” (via The Sun)
Bloukrans is officially recognised by Guinness World Records as being the World’s Highest Commercial Bungy Jump at a whooping 216 m high!

Harry didn’t need dutch courage, He’s English for goodness sakes.
The Pub at Bloukrans is also the view point, so of course they went straight there… to see the bridge!
He cetainly didn’t need any beers “before” the jump!

Amazing how the tabloids always report rubbish.
@Braden I totally agree with you.
It’s good to see royalty in our area, and it’s such a pity the tabloids always try to get sensationalism out of nothing.
The pub/coffee joint is the best place to view the jump and even if the Prince downed a good South African beer, is that wrong?
Give the guy a break, I mean everyone knows South Africa make the best beer
Thanks for coming to our area Henry, do come again.
