Prince Harry took some time out of his hectic tour of the United States yesterday to spend time in an English-style pub.
The Prince hired the whole of the The Golden Bee, near where he is staying in Colorado Springs for a briefing.
Despite being a private affair, Harry dressed smartly in a British Armed Forces navy polo shirt, blue chinos and a grey belt.
It was a home-from-home for the Prince, as the pub is modelled on a traditional English pub and has even had its interior decorations flown in from Britain to make it feel more authentic.

The pub was loaned for half an hour, while the Prince a briefed journalists about the Warrior Games - a sports tournament for injured servicemen and women.
 
But unlike his escapades in Las Vegas, which culminated in the Prince being snapped in the nude, the afternoon was perfectly civilised and Harry seemed relaxed when he left.

Harry, who has himself recently returned from a tour of duty in Afghanistan, spent time chatting to injured soldiers at the games, many of whom had lost limbs.
The Prince is known as Captain Harry Wales by his comrades and appeared to be wholly at ease among his fellow soldiers.
He even stayed for a game of sitting volleyball with members of the British Armed Forces team, as well as taking part in the opening ceremony for the games, where the torch was lit.
The Prince is involved in several charities which support injured service personnel.
