Prince Harry in Caribbean for World Cup

LONDON: The World Cup is set to get a royal touch with Britain's Prince Harry in the Caribbean to catch up some cricket action with his girlfriend Chelsy Davy before being deployed in war-torn Iraq.

The 22-year-old prince, who will be flying in Iraq next month, was making headlines for his drunken nightouts recently and the break will allow him some time away from the prying eyes of British tabloids, according to a media report.

The third in line to the British throne flew off for his Caribbean sojourn on Monday, while Chelsy is already their waiting to be joined by him, 'The Sun' reported.

"It was the only way they were going to see each other before he goes to Iraq," a source close to the couple was quoted as saying.

Harry has spent 20,000 pounds for renting a private villa in Barbados, where England will play two of their remaining Super Eight matches.

The couple is reportedly planning to catch some of the action during their three-week stay on the islands.
