Prince Harry has found his very own Camilla, and she moves in the circles once frequented by James Hewitt, Princess Diana's notorious "cad" lover, yesterday's British tabloids reported.
Camilla Simon, 21, is the daughter of Kate Simon, who had a two-year relationship with Hewitt until about 12 months ago and was so close to the former cavalry officer that she bailed him out of his business debts to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The link has raised eyebrows especially as Hewitt has long been rumoured to be Harry's biological father, although Hewitt, Diana and all their associates have always said the affair took place around the time of the 1991 Gulf War, long after the 19-year-old prince was born.
Camilla Simon is reported to live with her mother and younger brother in London's trendy South Kensington and to be studying for a degree in child psychology.
She was seen in Harry's company, partying along with other friends into the early hours of yesterday morning at Boujis nightclub in the same part of London.
Also in the party was Guy Pelly, who was accused of introducing Harry to cannabis in the summer of 2001, although this was later denied.
"They came in with three bodyguards, and Harry and his group went straight to one of the booths near the back and joined up with another set of popply types, a lot of them girls," a member of the club's staff told the Daily Mail.
He added the group had ordered copious amounts of alcohol, with vodka and cranberry juice - a favourite tipple of the prince - being a regular item.
Boujis staff described Harry as "merry" when he left at 2.30am in the company of his protection officers, who sat sipping soft drinks and "looking totally out of place" at a separate table.
Although he did not leave with Camilla Simon, rumours of a romance were rife. "There has been speculation they are romantically involved, but no one seems to know," a friend of Harry's told the Sun.
The palace refused to comment, saying "Prince Harry's private life is exactly that - private," but courtiers close to the prince's father say there is increasing concern about the image Harry is acquiring.
Around a week ago, Harry was seen canoodling with 20-year-old topless model Lauren Pope at China White's, a club in Mayfair popular with television stars, footballers, models and the London in-crowd.
Harry leaves soon on an eight-week visit to Africa to help with humanitarian projects.
He is taking the first of two gap years after finishing his school career at Eton in the summer. While he did not distinguish himself academically, he showed considerable prowess at sport and cadets.
The prince is expected to take up a career in the army after entering the Sandhurst officers' training academy in September 2005, when he, like most of the intake,

I've figured it out, he was looking forward to going on an African charity tour, where that Chelsy chick could've visited him in the sun and they'd all just shake hands and hug.
Instead he went out and got drunk and his Dad has told him to shape up or ship out and they're sending him to Iraq.
send in the Special Army Services, they'd have so much fun looking after him...
It's funny, no?
