London, March 15 : Prince Harry has left many baffled after being spotted with pink nails as he stepped out of a nightclub.

The 24-year-old, who is training to pilot the meanest attack machine in the British Army, seemed to depict a stark contrast to his tough soldier image after sporting the girly artwork on his left hand.

"To see Harry with his nails painted was a bit bizarre to say the least. We all know he likes the ladies and has served in Afghanistan, so it was a bit of a shock," News of the World quoted an onlooker as saying.

"I can't imagine it going down to well with his military mates. He's supposed to be hard as nails - not painting them," the onlooker added.

The party-loving royal had been seen with the coloured nails at Raffles, in Chelsea, south-west London.

A source added: "I wouldn''t be surprised if Harry did it for a bet - or to raise cash for Comic Relief.

"He can be quite a prankster". (ANI)
