Double date for partying prince as two old crushes join him for West End get-together

It's not exactly party central at Sandringham.

So with the prospect of little more than a sweet sherry and a game of charades pencilled into his diary for Christmas, Prince Harry was determined to let his hair down before heading off for the Royal Family’s festive get-together.

The 27-year-old made a night of it on Wednesday in the company of a host of well-known faces – and two of his ‘gal pals’, TV presenter Natalie Pinkham and socialite Astrid Harbord.
