Even leading the charmed life of an English prince can't guarantee good drivers--or self-preservation on the part of paparazzi.

Early Sunday morning, a silver Ford carrying 26-year-old Prince Harry, the younger of Prince Charles' two sons, hit a photographer in central London.

The incident occurred while the red-headed prince was bring "whisked through a press pack" after a night out at Beaufort House, a posh cocktail bar and brasserie in the King's Road, Chelsea, celebrating England's success in a rugby tournament.

The photographer, Tony Margiocchi, was hospitalized after the car carrying the prince hit him in the leg and left him with a tire mark across his thigh, according to one report.

We didn't bother.
