Harry car speeding claim examined

Prince Harry was seen in one of the speeding cars, a motorist claims

Police say claims that a car carrying Prince Harry to London nightspot Boujis was driven recklessly on the M4 motorway are being examined.

Thames Valley Police said it received a complaint on Wednesday and was liaising with the Metropolitan Police.

Company director Tim Williams, 33, claimed he was tailgated by a royal convoy and forced to drive at dangerous speeds to get out of the way.

Clarence House said the report was "a matter for the police".

Fast manoeuvres

Mr Williams claimed he was travelling in to London on Saturday evening last week when he stopped pulling out in to a motorway lane as one car approached at high speed.

He was then forced to accelerate to pull out of the way of an unmarked police car.

When he later caught up with one of the cars in west London, he said he was shocked to see Prince Harry in the passenger seat of the first car, putting on sunglasses and shielding his face.

A Thames Valley Police spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a complaint was received by Thames Valley Police on Wednesday, 14 May.

"The complainant was advised to contact the Metropolitan Police Service.

"Thames Valley Police continues to liaise with the Met in relation to the complaint. It's being looked into."

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "We are not prepared to discuss matters of security or protection."
