British royal Prince Harry may be making his first formal visit to the U.S. later this month when he travels to NYC, but he won't be making any party stops. According to the Post, right after the third-in-line to the British crown (after his dad Prince Charles and brother Prince William) plays in the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic, he's "booked him on a red-eye flight straight back to London that same day," which means no after-party at the Pink Elephant. A friend says, "It's no coincidence that while other polo players will be partying, Harry will be on his way home. He was so desperate to go that he considered defying the no-night-life rule and flying out his friends on a separate plane to join him. Now he has resigned himself to not being there." Well, that's one less night for him to break out the Nazi costume! At any rate, Harry will be in town the night of May 29—he is spending the day visiting Ground Zero and other organizations that day.
