It’s probably fair to say that His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales (A.K.A. 'Harry') is no stranger to a good party. Having gotten engaged to American actress Meghan Markle, action man Captain Harry Wales, who’s been in a few tough scrapes (two tours of Afghanistan, scuffles with paps, cheating Usain Bolt) will now have his brother William and pals planning the 'Royal Rumble' a.k.a. Prince Harry’s stag do.
But when you’ve lived the life of a Windsor, what exactly constitutes a weekend fit for a prince?
StagWeb: "Stand back everyone, we’ve got this..."
What Prince Harry will do on his stag do...
Bear Grylls Stag Survivors
Taking place in the Brecon Beacons (playground of the SAS) it’s the ultimate stag party challenge. Bungee jumping? Meh! How about 3 days surviving off the land and a Bear Grylls style BBQ? Bon appetite.
“Not another castle!” but you need one where “Nan” won’t find out what happened. Plus with StagWeb all your guests become “Lords” so those without titles get one, and any Dukes you don’t like get downgraded.
Oh it’s coming, and while Captain Harry has earned his stripes, taking on the living dead is a whole different matter. It’s not all cricket bats and Sade records (thanks Shaun of the Dead). It’s time to kick zombie ass!
It’s the craziest version of football ever. Think Riverdance meets British bulldog, add more violence and turn it up to eleven. Perfect for a sports mad prince keen to get one over on his brother. Game on!
Make Meghan proud and head to the good ole U.S. of A. William, Charles and Harry can pick up Mr Markle along the way for a father/son coast to coast road trip. A chance to escape royal duty and just roll.
Does what it says on the tin. Tasty treats that can be sent to any group of hungry stags. All the stags chew through a series of rounds before Harry and his best man will face off in the giant water bug finale.
Now it’s fair to say His Royal Highness has some ‘previous’ here. Sin city could make the perfect backdrop to do the royal do. Big shows, awesome activities and 24hr bars.
Apart from the obvious family connection, Germany brews amazing beer and serves it in giant steins. It’s also the city Harry was awarded a Golden Heart award for his charity work.
Another of the Prince’s previous party locations. Harry partied the night away and jumped in a pool fully clothed and this top destination still loves to party.
Playground of the SAS, this is the toughest stag destination and should keep the paparazzi at bay, especially if the special service chaps are out on manoeuvres.
The greatest party island on the planet! It’s ideal for a man of Prince Harry’s fun-loving reputation. Mad, bad and hilarious to know. Party hedonism on a royal scale.
Harry is a man with the common touch who keeps it real. He’s also a great advocate for British industry and tourism so the Vegas of the North could be ‘crackin’.
Become a lord!
We'll make you lords of the manor

On average grooms hold their stag weekends 4-6 weeks before the wedding. With the royal wedding due to take place May 2018, Prince Harry’s stag weekend is likely to happen March to April, that could mean the Harry and co head overseas for a warmer climate.
