The fun-loving prince visited Jamaica during the latest stop on his global trip to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee year (12), and he was challenged to go up against the island nation's hero sprinter Bolt.

And the competitive royal showed his determination not to play second fiddle by setting off along the track before Bolt was out of the starting blocks.

The world 100 metre record holder gave chase but the laughing royal still crossed the line ahead of him in the fun event at the University of the West Indies stadium in Kingston.
