Britain’s Prince Harry has been welcomed to Memphis by a local strip joint.
The party-loving prince has jetted in to the US city for the wedding of his friend Guy Pelly to Lizzy Wilson, and The Pony Club – the largest topless gentleman’s club in Tennessee – has put up a huge sign reading ‘Welcome Prince Harry’, and the owners of the nightspot say both he and his brother Prince William are welcome to visit during their trip.
However, club owner Jerry Westlund admitted he initially also included William’s name on the sign, but took it down because he is married to Duchess Catherine and they have a baby son, nine-month-old Prince George, together.
He told E! News: "We actually first put up on the sign two days ago when we confirmed they were coming [to town].
"We first put on the sign ‘Welcome Prince William and Prince Harry,’ but we took Prince William off because in case his wife does come we didn’t want to create any marital strife.
"I can’t imagine if Prince William and Prince Harry are coming to a wedding that the brothers will be sitting around in their rooms. If they want to party, they should party with us. There is always room for royalty in the champagne room."
In 2012, nude pictures of Harry were famously leaked after he played strip billiards while partying in Las Vegas, but Jerry has reassured the prince of his venue’s full discretion should he wish to pay a visit.
He added: "We hope he does come here, but we will try to keep him fully clothed at the Pony. Prince Harry — we can keep a secret. What happens in Mid-South stays in the Mid-South."
