Prince Harry challenges USA’s Ryan Lochte in Las Vegas pool party swim race

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The London Olympics may be over, but Britain’s Prince Harry isn’t letting the U.S. get away with the swimming gold that easily.

The royal challenged Ryan Lochte during the swimming champion’s 28th birthday party Monday at a Las Vegas pool, and it was caught on video.

Las Vegas Sun columnist Robin Leach reports the prince stripped down to his jeans and gestured for others to clear the way for the contest at the XS nightclub pool.

As predicted, the 11-time Olympic medallist won.

The race wasn’t the prince’s only paparazzi-worthy moment from the weekend. Photos leaked online show the redhead naked and cozied up to an unidentified woman during a game of strip billiards in a hotel suite.
