Just prior to jetting off to Australia to begin his gap year, Prince Harry said goodbye to his brother Prince William and his closest pals with a bar-hopping jaunt in London.

The red-haired royal and his clique began at Chelsea's So Bar – owned by friend Mark Dyer – before heading to the trendy Purple nightclub. While Prince William was spotted leaving the hotspot at around 2.45am, it's unknown at what time little brother Harry called it a night.

Nineteen-year-old Prince Harry will arrive in Sydney on Monday to kick off his gap year, marking the start of his post-Eton life. Prince Charles' younger son will be spending three months down under, where he's expected to stay on a ranch, watch the rugby World Cup and show off his sporting side as he captains the Young England polo team at the Ambassador's Cup.

"The Prince is very much looking forward to it," said a spokesperson for the Prince of Wales. The private visit, which is Harry's first trip abroad without his father, will include just one official duty – a photo call in front of Sydney Harbour bridge this week.
