On yer bike! Harry rides out with old pal

RADIATING contentment with his new life in a California mansion, Prince Harry recently remarked that home ‘for me now is, you know, for the time being, in the States’.

Though happy to cut ties with family and old friends back in Britain, Harry this week welcomed an old chum to Montecito — Charlie van Straubenzee, a pal since both were at Ludgrove prep school.

Now an investment banker, van Straubenzee was an usher at Harry and Meghan’s spectacular 2018 wedding at Windsor, while Harry was best man a few months later, when van Straubenzee married the enchanting Daisy Jenks.

The enduring bond between them is, though, perhaps best expressed by the fact — never publicly confirmed but accepted in Court circles — that Harry appointed van Straubenzee as one of his son Archie’s godfathers.
