Really? What are they going to do, unPrince him?

C’mon. He got drunk (likely) and naked, in a private room for heaven’s sake. It’s not like he ran around in the streets or drove drunk or anything.

At worst they should be putting pressure on Prince William and his wife: HAVE KIDS! NOW! LOTS KIDS!

As mentioned on the morning news today, all this really proves is that Harry is not a particularly good billiards player.

Do you think every time he went to the bathroom, someone in the room yelled, “Royal Flush!” afterwards?

It does, however, beg the question if there might be any illegitimate Royal(s) born in Vegas sometime next May. I can see the Queen showing up for the christening, and then hitting the buffet and craps table afterwards.

Not the craps table, the race book.

Eh, his older brother was photographed taking his dick out of a piss, his uncle was caught frolicing nude in a waterfall, and then of course there was that time Prince Charles changed clothes in front of a open window. The Queen’s probally gratefull cameraphones didn’t exist for most of Princess Marageret’s life.

No, apparently he is “just letting of steam” after the really hard work of watching the Olympic Games. Most members of our armed forces could not afford this kind of little weekend break.

Just be glad he’s the spare and not the heir. It’s likely that Charles will die before HM, so when she does, it may go right to Wills. Of course, if anything happened to William ::cough::JFKjr::cough::, Harry would be next in line – unless Kate and William already have a kid. I think that’s how it works; correct me if I’m wrong. Anyway, it’s kind of like if Edward VIII and George VI were reversed. (And correct me if I’m wrong on _that_.)

Right. The current order of succession is Charles - William - Harry. Which is why there was the previous comment about putting pressure on William and Kate to make with the great grandkids because they budge in front of Harry.

Regarding the photos-why was Harry covering his manhood? He must have known that a picture was being taken-why didn’t his body guards stop everything?  
I’m waiting to see when a “prominent Las Vegas lawyer” files a complaint against Harry…for statutory rape.  
A few million$$ ought to make that go away.

I think Society as a whole is [thankful](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Margaret,_Countess_of_Snowdon). {{{SHUDDER}}}  
Surprised that there isn’t even more revealing and clearer pictures released. Or even video. Maybe that will be next week.

Why is it?  
Seems to me that a man in his sixties who still has both of his parents alive shouldn’t have much too expectation that he’ll die before either of them, if genetics has anything to do with it.  
Unless you think whoever’s going to do away with William will also bump Charles off, so as Harry can claim the top job.

Naked billiards is free. Anyone can do it.

Speaking of that, the Cambridges have been married almost a year and a half and Kate still isn’t pregnant. What’s up with that? The woman only has 2 jobs; smile & waive at crowds, and pop out an heir (& optional back-up heir).

It’s not particularly unusual for couples to take more than a year to conceive. Also, William has a job, as a search and rescue pilot, so he probably isn’t always to hand when Kate is ovulating.

Are you kidding? She was [stunning](http://blog.rubylane.com/files/u10097/marg.jpg) when she was younger, and good looking certainly well into her [40s](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d1Bzk_Gi7MU/SZD5KKrbhQI/AAAAAAAAAUo/-vkv0WSwOyE/s400/Princess%2BMargaret%2B2.jpg).

She was probably the prettiest princess of the last century. But she had no education, morals or class and was known to basically fuck anything she pleased well into her old age.

I read an article that this is really part of a feud between Rupert Murdoch and the royal family. Murdoch apparently used to feel connected with the royals and gave them relatively good press. But apparently the royals have shut him out since his phone scandal last year. One theory is this is his warning shot to the royals: they either let him back into their circle or he turns his media against them.

Maybe it’s like the TV tax in Britain? You get billed for each set of balls?
