PRINCE CHARLES (48) has shown his son how to win on the ski slopes of Klosters

PRINCE CHARLES (48) has shown his son how to win on the ski slopes of Klosters. He flashed across the finishing line of a skiing competition yesterday to take first place in his race.

Prince Harry (12) came ninth out of 14 youngsters in his own age group.

They had been invited to race by Mardens Ski club, which includes as members the Getty family, the Oppenheimers, the Guinnesses and the Churchills, who meet and ski each year in Klosters.

Because the royals are not members of the exclusive ski club, they had to pay a £2.50 entrance fee to race.
