He's on the last leg of his Diamond Jubilee tour, and Prince Harry showed the world how fast his own legs could carry him after he 'won' a 30m race against sprinter Usain Bolt in Kingston, Jamaica.

But while the prince may have crossed the finishing line first, there was definitely a spot - or a lot - of cheating going on.

According to the Telegraph, the prince waited until the 100m record holder's back was turned and sprinted off down the tracks, where the athlete trains at the University of the West Indies.

Prince Harry
looked happy and relaxed, even posing with the star in his signature "lightning bolt" move.

According to the Metro, Usain laughed: "He cheated; I said we would have a rematch in London 2012 and Harry said 'I'm busy'."

And he added that Harry was "cool, very down to earth", saying: "When you meet dignitaries you think it will be difficult but he just wanted to laugh - it was an honour and a pleasure to meet him."

Harry is on the final stop of his Caribbean tour, which has seen him visit Belize and the Bahamas.

Upon arrival at Kingston's Norman Manley Airport he received a 21-gun salute, and earlier met with the prime minister Portia Simpson Miller.

A few days earlier the prince looked coy as he met Miss Bahamas, 23-year-old Anastagia Pierre.

He also showed off his dancing skills at a street party in Belize on the tour, which is part of a host of trips planned for members of the Royal Family to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
