Prince Harry had a near death experience when he was dragged by a drugged-up rhinoceros during a trip to Africa.
The future Duke of Sussex was in Botswana in 2015 when he visited the Rhino Conservation Botswana.
During the two week visit, he and the group were capturing the animals in South Africa to relocate them to Botswana as part of ongoing conservation efforts.
However one of the rhinos had not been administered enough tranquilliser and when the prince attempted to bring it under control it suddenly charged - dragging Harry and others along for a ride, My London reported.
Quoted in Katie Nicholl’s new book, Harry: Life, Loss, and Love, conservationist Map Ives said: “While [the rhino] was drugged and sleepy, it had sufficient strength to get to its feet and stagger forward.
“The rhino dragged Harry and the men around for a bit, and it was hairy because it’s a dangerous animal to work with. There were six guys on the ropes, and they all got dragged a good 20 metres before they managed to stop the rope.
“I told Harry and the boys to get the dust out [of] their noses and get on with it. My chaps end up on their faces at least once a day. It was bloody funny, actually.”
The conservationist added Harry had a “hell of a sense of humour”.
Meanwhile, earlier this week it was reported Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not "universally revered" and some believe "they have got a bit of an attitude", according to claims made by their fellow residents living in Montecito, California.
After leaving the Royal Family in 2020, the 38-year-old Duke and 41-year-old Duchess of Sussex, relocated to the glitzy neighbourhood and moved into an expansive chateau, where they are raising their two children, three-year-old Archie, and one-year-old Lilibet.
The house is thought to have a cinema, private gym, tennis court and spa, alongside Archie and Lilibet's own playground, reports The Daily Express .
Reporters went to the beachfront town, to speak to local residents in the street about the celebrity couple.
Katie, who works as a retired university lecturer, said the Sussexes move to Montecito has "divided" many residents.
She said: “A lot of people think, ‘yeah fun’, but a lot of people think, ‘they have got a bit of an attitude’.
“I do not think they are universally revered.”
