The Jamaican sprinter, who lined up against the prince when the pair met at the athlete's training track in Kingston, said: 'He cheated, I said we would have a rematch in London 2012 and Harry said "I'm busy".'

Bolt went on to praise the Queen's grandson, visiting Jamaica to mark her Diamond Jubilee: "He's cool, very down to earth.

'When you meet dignitaries you think it will be difficult but he just wanted to laugh - it was an honour and a pleasure to meet him.
