If he thought it was a good idea to grab an extra few minutes in bed yesterday, Prince Harry was put right by girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
The 22-year-old received an ear-bashing from his girlfriend when he arrived half an hour late to pick her up from Heathrow.
The prince had been due to meet Miss Davy, 21, when her 11-hour flight from Johannesburg landed at 6.20am. Scroll down for more...

But when the Zimbabwean-born student - who is about to start a two-year law course at Leeds University - walked out of the arrivals gate at Terminal 1 there was no sign of her boyfriend.
As photographers swarmed around her, she couldn't hide her thunderous expression and sought refuge in a nearby Costa Coffee bar where she punched Harry's number into her mobile phone.
The apologetic prince insisted that he hadn't overslept but had been waiting at the wrong terminal and sent half a dozen uniformed police officers to protect her.
Five minutes later she walked out of a side entrance - and into the arms of her boyfriend, who looked as if he had just got out of bed. Scroll down for more...

Dressed in a stained pair of jeans, battered boots and a baseball cap, Blues and Royals officer Harry - who is stationed a few minutes down the road in Windsor - put his arm protectively around his girlfriend's shoulders and remonstrated with the photographers.
One onlooker said: "There was a lot of effing and blinding mostly, it has to be said, from Prince Harry.
"He was got quite red in the face.
"Eventually he and Chelsy made it through the crowds to his car and the two sped off." Miss Davy, who already has a degree in politics, economics and commerce from Cape Town University, plans to spend the next two weeks partying with her boyfriend before enrolling at Leeds.
