Prince Harry offers to take wife Meghan to….Butlin’s
Prince Harry has joked that he and his wife Meghan should go to Butlin’s after spotting the resort’s white peaks during a visit to the University of Chichester.
The Duke of Sussex was distracted by the sight of the large white tent in Bognor Regis, which he could see from one of the college windows.
Pointing to the tent’s peaks, he asked what it was and when told it was Butlin’s he turned to his wife Meghan and said: "We’ll have to go! I love it, it looks like a circus."
The resort was quick to capitalise on the publicity, tweeting that the fun-loving royal was ‘welcome anytime’. It added: "George, Charlotte and Louis would love our Just for Tots breaks."
It later pointed out that his grandparents The Queen and Prince Philip had beaten them too it, having visited Butlin’s during the time of its founder Billy Butlin.
It was the royal couple’s first visit to Sussex, of which they were made Duke and Duchess following their wedding in May.
