So Prince Harry walks into a bar… no, it's not the beginning of a joke, it's actually what happened in real life. Prince Harry, fourth in line to the British throne, has been busy for the past several weeks roaming the Antarctic for his charity “Walking with the Wounded,” which aims to raise funds to retrain injured military personnel to find careers outside the military.

While this is a noble thing to do, Prince Harry, famed for his partying ways, is apparently forced to endure the arctic temperatures without any libations, as Radar reports he and his team were refused service at the McMurdo station.

Sources inside the station say that only staff and employees have access to alcohol and cigarettes, and no one made an exception for the British Royal.

Also, one insider notes that there might have been some noses and stomachs turning when Harry and his buddies came in. “All three were smelly and scruffy. They are only allowed two 2-minute showers per week,” the spy reports.

Prince Harry has been involved in a race to the South Pole together with 2 other teams. He lead the team of British soldiers, the American team was led by Alexander Skarsgard and the Australian one was led by Dominic West.

This isn't the first time Harry has attempted this race, as last year, he also led the team but had to pull out early due to a conflict in scheduling, since he was supposed to be the best man at his brother's royal wedding.

And he almost didn't make it this year either, since bad weather almost forced the organizers to cancel the event.

Prince Harry, who is a helicopter gunner in the British army, is head of the “Walking with the Wounded” charity and every year he embarks on an adventure with wounded soldiers in an effort to raise funds for their retraining in civilian life.
