A spokesman for Prince Harry has asked to point out that the Prince was not drunk at the street party in Belize pictured last weekend, as may have been suggested by our headline. The Prince sampled local rum, a cocktail and fruit wine but did not drink five beers as suggested.

The headline in question? “Party Prince reporting for duty! Harry dances in the street in Belize at start of his Diamond Jubilee tour”
