A SUFFOLK nightclub received the royal seal of approval after Prince Harry was spotted partying in a VIP area.

Newmarket’s De Niro’s nightclub entertained the Prince for the evening on Easter Saturday.

The 25-year-old royal was said by staff to have enjoyed himself.

A club spokeswoman described him as “really lovely,” adding: “He was very nice and he had a really good time.”

Earlier in the day he visited Newmarket Heath to see the Queen’s horses put through their paces and is also reported to have enjoyed a Chinese meal in the town.

The Prince served 10 weeks in Afghanistan in 2007-8 and may return later this year if he passes his final exams in flying helicopters.
