“He’s part of the royal family and everything, but he’s really a nice guy,’’ Lochte said. “He’s really talkative. He just wanted to meet me and honestly wanted to race me. I thought that was the coolest thing.’’ -Ryan [talking about Prince Harry]
What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas when you're an Olympian. While vacationing in Las Vegas last week Ryan crossed paths with Prince Harry and the two had a swim off accompanied by joined by Cullen Jones.

News broke early yesterday that our favorite word is in the works to be a Trademark!
Lochte plans to put ‘Jeah’ on sunglasses, clothing, jewelry, DVDs, key chains, trading cards, calendars, hats, posters, mugs, water bottles, swimsuits, swim goggles and swim caps. Looks like someone is trying to create a brand. Could a trademark on his Team USA grill be next?Lochte said he came up with ‘Jeah’ after hearing the rapper Young Jeezy, who says ‘Cheah’ in a lot of his songs. Lochte says to him, it means good or happy.
Ryan has been making a string of appearances since returning from London earlier in the week. Yesterday he filmed his 90210 episode and also attended The Expendable's 2 premiere. Tonight he will be on Jay Leno and tomorrow he sits down with Joan Rivers on her show Fashion Police.
