I want to party with this dude. Vegas, some broads, a little pool, snorting coke off a hookers ass, that’s the life. ---

A downside may be that when he, Wills and Catherine go to ask folks to donate to their charity(ies), wouldn’t some be justified in saying, “What do you need my few pounds for, when you can throw tons more money than I have away in clubs embarrassing yourself?” ---

There’s ‘knowing it on an intellectual level’ and there’s ‘look at that rich wanker, asking me to help children in Lesotho when only last month he was showing off Prince Albert and his can’. ---

I don’t see that as making a decision not to donate more justified, though. ---

Gotta love Harry. But Grandma must absolutely NOT be amused. > [@si\_blakely](#): > > What’s betting that _Captain Wales_ of the British Army gets posted to some quiet military outpost somewhere far from action where he can **polish his Apache** , and reflect on the meaning of “discretion”. Hmm, don’t see this new euphemism catching on. But yeah, a long visit to Diego García Island could be in his future. And yes, discretion is the issue. We already know he’s bloody loaded and #3 in line for the throne and gets more and higher-rated ass just thrown at him on an average weekend than you or I will work for in our whole lives, and we’d want his head examined if he did not make the most of that. \*\*\* BUT\*\*\* the truly dope-slap-worthy part about it is letting someone futz around with a camera while the goings-on go on. When you party with the Prince it should be strictly check your cell phone at the door. ---

Good for him. If I was that rich or a prince I’d make Friday night is Naked Billiards Night every Friday. ---

Don’t you think though, that movie memes like, “What happens in Vegas - Stay in Vegas!”, and labels like, ‘Sin City’, must play a little differently in other cultures? I’m not saying Europe ain’t worldly, don’t get me wrong. But in movies/on TV, the meme is repeated, again and again. Of course it’s all just makeup and neon lights, so much smoke and mirrors, people get in tons of shit that follows them home from Vegas, lots of people end up in jail after over doing stupid things. But movies like, ‘The Hangover’, glorify excess and Vegas all in one. I guess I just wonder if it isn’t loads easier for North Americans to understand it’s a stupid meme, not a freakin’ golden rule, or unspoken community standard. Where is the palm of Harry’s security detail, obscuring that cell phone shot? I thought this was more, what the security detail was really about, than the Prince, being in actual danger! ---

No, no, he is not. (Not that I’ve given the photos more than a glance or two, understand.) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/prince-hairy-in-las-vegas/632233.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/prince-hairy-in-las-vegas/632233.md?page=3)
