Prince Harry reverted to his bachelor days and let his hair down with friends during a three-hour pub session on the Queen's 96th birthday, MailOnline can reveal today.With Meghan back in California, Harry took advantage of the opportunity to visit an Irish bar in The Hague for a pint of Guinness last night, surrounded by five bodyguards, including four men who are normally assigned to protect Dutch royals.However, as a sign that his wild days are behind him, he declined free tequila slammers and stuck to a single beer throughout the night, the pub's owner said.Harry expressed his joy as he took his first sip of the pint of world-famous stout at O'Casey's Irish bar, where other patrons suggested a toast to the Queen, who celebrated her 96th birthday yesterday at Sandringham. John Gulay, the proprietor of Harry and O'Casey, is pictured.
The royal was out with friends following another contentious interview with a US broadcaster this week, during which he claimed that one of the reasons he flew to the UK last week to see his grandmother – for a supposedly private meeting – was to ensure she was 'protected and had the right people around her.'
The Duke of Sussex sat in a secluded section of the large beer garden alongside members of his Invictus Games staff and a couple of friends who had flown in from the United Kingdom to join in on the pub visit. Among them appears to be former Strictly Come Dancing star JJ Chalmers, who suffered serious injuries in a 2011 bomb blast while serving as a Royal Marine in Afghanistan and credits Harry and the Invictus Games with saving his life.
