An unlikely friendship has been struck up between third-in-line to the throne Prince Harry and world famous MotoGP racer Chris Vermeulen.
The young royal apparently contacted the 27 year old Aussie by email to ask for race riding lessons on a UK circuit, and it looks like it is set to go ahead when the time is right for both riders.
Chris is said to have donated his Shoei helmet that he wore at the Donington GP this year to Harry, which is what probably struck up talks of the outing. Harry currently rides a Triumph, but is looking to upgrade to a Ducati in the near future.
