It's back on again, Wills' and Henry's, aka Prince William and Prince Harry, plan to ride in the off-road bike rally in South Africa. Clarence House issued an official statement announcing that the Princes would be taking part in the Enduro Africa Rally which will take place next month. It had previously been cancelled due to fears for the Princes safety. (I wonder what made them change their minds?)

I wonder how much they expect to collect? I also wonder how much the security will cost. Which will be higher?

Enduro Rally Updates: <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 24th Oct Prince William and his brother Harry are among several riders to be struck by a stomach bug four days into their South African charity motorbike rally.<o:p> </o:p> The Royal duo had taken a break from riding due to the effects of the illness, which is usually contracted from water, but are now back. <o:p></o:p> A <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Buckingham</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Palace</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> spokeswoman said: "A number of riders have had upset stomachs over the past couple of days and have had to take a short break from riding. They all knew the Enduro was going to be a tough challenge but they are all getting on with it and taking this illness in their stride." <o:p></o:p> 25th Oct <o:p></o:p> Prince Harry’s temper boiled over at a charity football match yesterday, when he squared-up to an intrusive South African photographer, telling him to “stop being such a cock.” <o:p></o:p> The Prince was at the charity event, with his brother William, as part of Enduro Africa - a 1000-mile motorcycle adventure in aid of disadvantaged youngsters. <o:p></o:p> Sources say Harry's bodyguards stepped in to bring an end to the argument, before ordering the photographer to leave the pitch.<o:p></o:p> 28th Oct<o:p></o:p> Some of the riders taking part in the 100-mile Enduro Africa adventure have complained that the presence of Princes William and Harry have marred their enjoyment of the trip. <o:p></o:p> Speaking to a number of South African journalists, some riders admitted that although they felt honoured to be riding amongst royalty, their trip-of-a-lifetime had been ruined because of the tight security surrounding the princes. <o:p></o:p> “I was hoping my family could track our trip on the Internet but this became impossible when it was decided we would not be told exactly where we were going each day,” a disappointed Scottish biker explained. <o:p></o:p> The remainder of the 1000-mile route is now being kept secret from the 100-strong party for fear of terrorism threats to the royals. So why let the Royals take part? Der! Soz I know it may seem unfair to veto their activities, after all they are only human, however the security aspect of this event has now spoiled it for others as well as putting their lives at risk too. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p>

I've just realised, the initial report said the rally is taking place NEXT MONTH so how come they are already on it?
