Usain Bolt reveals his post-Rio plans and they include Prince Harry

One is the fastest man on earth and the other is fifth in line to the throne, but Usain Bolt and Prince Harry are much closer than people thought!

It turns out the two are firm friends and have been ever since the day they met in Jamaica in 2012.

The pair had an impromptu race down a running track in front of the cameras and were all smiles as they laughed and messed around together.

Usain even let Harry win and declared at the end, “I’ve finally been beaten!”.

Usain also taught Harry is famous lighting bolt move, which Harry is said to whip out every now and again for a laugh.

Now, Usain is preparing to race in the 200m finals at Rio and says once he’s done he has big plans to hit the town with Prince Harry.

“I’ll party with Prince Harry and teach him the running man,” he said. “But only after Rio!”

Usain hasn’t lost an Olympic race since 2008 and no doubt Harry will be cheering him on as he crosses the finish line in Rio.

We’re wishing Usain good luck and hoping the two of them have great time celebrating afterwards!

Do you like Prince Harry’s light-hearted nature? Did you know the pair were friends?
