Prince Harry, Prince William and Kate Middleton recently experienced what more regular folks do when they were rejected by five-star hotel Le Hotel Marotte in Amiens, France. Kate Middleton and Prince William along with Prince Harry are scheduled to attend the centenary of the Battle of the Somme in France. The French Foreign Ministry tried to make the arrangements with Le Hotel Marotte for Prince Harry, Prince William and Kate Middleton, but may have done so too late.
According to The Telegraph the manager of Le Hotel Marotte, Olivier Walti, explained that his decision to reject the booking request for Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince Harry was a matter of principle. Le Hotel Marotte was fully booked for the Battle of the Somme ceremonies by the time the French Foreign Ministry tried to secure accommodations for Prince Harry, Prince William and Kate Middleton. The hotel manager believes that revoking other people's booking to favor Prince William, Prince Harry and Kate Middleton would have been unethical.
"We would not tell people who have booked with us for months and who have already paid for their stay, sorry, but the royal family is coming, we will have to cancel," Walti explained. "It's just unthinkable ethically."
The commemorative ceremonies for the Battle of the Somme is an important historical occasion and Prince William, Prince Harry and Kate Middleton are expected to represent Queen Elizabeth and Britain. With the only five-star hotel in Amiens booked, Prince William, Prince Harry and Kate Middleton may have to settle for less.
Certainly, Prince Harry is not averse to hobnobbing with regular people. Daily Mail reports that one of the more recent sightings of Prince Harry is in a secret theater event in Soho, London. The "You Me Bum Bum Train" that Prince Harry attended is an interactive theater event, which only VIPs can attend. Regular audience, who are not at the same level as Prince Harry and other celebrities as Benedict Cumberbatch, Jude Law, Dominic West and Stephen Fry, must apply for entry through a ballot.
After the interactive events in "You Me Bum Bum Train," the audience ends up in front of a live band where they can rave and crowd-surf. Prince Harry did not appear to have any date by his side. Instead, Prince Harry had his usual bodyguards for company.

When Prince Harry is not crowd surfing in ultra-secretive theaters or making the media buzz with his love life, the ginger prince is busy with humanitarian involvements. At the moment, the paralympic Invictus Games in Orlando is keeping Prince Harry engaged.
