> [@Paul\_in\_Qatar](#): > > That is it. He will have to drop off the ticket. I very much doubt it. Harry’s reputation has survived far worse gaffes, such as wearing a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party. Had a quick look at the tabloid press coverage over here, and it’s pretty sympathetic. Speaking as someone who is mildly anti-royal, this is a whole load of nothing, and I’d hate to see it blown out of proportion (double entendre not intended). ---

> [@elbows](#): > > 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! That’s the first thing I thought of too, but with some of the other stuff he has been photographed doing (his charming Nazi Halloween costume springs to mind, as does a picture of him smoking what looks to be a hash rocket at some concert or party) it seems he can (and does) tell his security detail to piss off and wait out in the hallway when he feels like it… ---

I fail to see why this is news, exactly? He’s a rich, famous twenty-something guy, he’s in Las Vegas and he’s getting drunk and naked. Duh. People have been doing this for quite some time now. The aristocracy were shagging their way around the Empire for centuries, only nobody took photos and put them on Twitter. Well, not very [often](http://www.nickelinthemachine.com/2008/10/mayfair-the-duchess-of-argyll-and-the-headless-man-polaroids/). ---

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. What I want to know is if the picture-taker is getting a royalty on those photos? (Ksshhhhh) With a phone checkpoint, it would still be all too easy to sneak a phone in to get some souvenir/saleable party photos of the prince. Unless they would do strip searches at the door, which they might as well if the participants are going to get naked anyway. ---

People have been doing this for quite some time now. The aristocracy were shagging their way around the Empire for centuries, only nobody took photos and put them on Twitter. Because TMZ is a celebrity gossip news site, the people who like celebrity gossip consider british monarchy celebrities, because he’s always been the wild one, nudity, and Vegas. If anything, the biggest news out of this is the opportunity for people to critique the Royal Rump. ---

That’s probably driving Harry nuts too. He trusted the people he invited to his hotel room. That was a very private moment. One of them sold him out for thirty pieces of silver. He’ll probably never know who did it. ---

He trusted the people he invited to his hotel room. That was a very private moment. One of them sold him out for thirty pieces of silver. He’ll probably never know who did it. I’m guessing that this is something he’s lived with for his whole life - I’d say he’s made his peace with people doing this a long time ago, and realizes that the only way to not end up on shows like TMZ is to not ever do anything worth recording, but he obviously does not always choose that path. ---

> [@UncleRojelio](#): > > The thing to ask when Harry get himself in the news is, “What is deflecting for his brother?” I’d look at the older generation, personally. His grandad, Prince Philip, has been in and out of hospital again recently, and the other night Channel 4 showed a [documentary](http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/aug/22/queens-mother-in-law?newsfeed=true)about his mum & his childhood, that would have made a great obituary. Conspiracy theorists could have a great time with this one, suggesting that _nothing_ is being allowed to ruin the image of the Queen’s Jubilee year, not even the death of her consort 😉 (any Philip lookalikes suddenly not been seen in their hometown for a while…?) ---

Frankly, I think Harry is in a heap of trouble: -as a serving officer in the British Army, Harry is supposed to behave as an officer and a gentlemen. Fondling hot chicks while in a state of undress is pretty far away from that. -what if that gal he bear-hugged decides to file statutory rape charge against him? With the right landshark, those charges could very well stick. -his grandma is very , very PO’ed…something about royal comportment, or something Stay tuned…this might get interesting!😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/prince-hairy-in-las-vegas/632233.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/prince-hairy-in-las-vegas/632233.md?page=4)
