Usain Bolt Admits Prince Harry No Longer Speaks To Him
Category: Sports News
Usain Bolt has admitted his old pal Prince Harry no longer speaks to him after
he ‘got really serious, really quickly’ with Meghan Markle.
The Duke of Sussex, 37, and the Olympic legend, 35, became friends when Harry toured Jamaica on a four day visit on behalf of the Queen in 2012, with Usain even saying he hoped to organize the prince’s stag do in 2017.
However the sprinter has now revealed he was ghosted by by Prince Harry after he met the Duchess, 40, telling The Sun: ‘I think he got really serious, really quickly. He is about married life and good for it now so has left that life behind now.
‘I haven’t talked to him in a while but I still would like to keep in contact.’
Prince Harry headed to Jamaica in March 2012 to meet the sprinter at the Usain Bolt Track at the University of the West Indies as part of a Diamond Jubilee Tour, representing the Queen.
As well as Jamaica, he visited Belize, the Bahamas and Brazil.
The pair – looking very fresh faced – posed in the sprinter’s signature lightning bolt style together before Usain presented the royal with his own ‘Harry can Bolt’ T-shirt.
At the time, the pair joked around – and the fastest man in the world even let the prince win when they hit the track.
Meanwhile the two exchanged friendly Twitter messages in 2016, with Harry challenging Usain to a re-run of the race.
And in 2017, days after Harry announced his engagement to Meghan, Usain vowed to organize three stag dos for the royal ahead of their nuptials.
It has previously been reported that the duke’s friendship with several members of his former inner circle cooled or ended altogether after he met Meghan.
In the run up to the wedding, Prince Harry was said to have frozen out some of his ‘old posse’ because Meghan doesn’t want any ‘temptations’ as they prepare to start a family.
Insiders said the Duke ‘dropped’ close friends including former wingman Tom ‘Skippy’ Inskip in case they’re a ‘bad influence’.
