We all cringed to think what the Queen would say to Prince Harry about stripping to show his bottom at a Las Vegas party.
Turns out it wasn’t the Queen who scolded the prince, it was his father Charles who reportedly “tore strips” off the 27-year-old.
Prince Harry has been told to “keep his head down” after receiving a stern dressing-down from his father as pictures of him messing naked with a young girl spread across the world.
The photos, published by American celebrity news website TMZ, showed the prince playing ‘strip billiards’ at a late-night party in his hotel on the strip in Las Vegas. Harry bear-hugs a naked girl and faces the camera, holding his crown jewels in his hands.
Sources close to the Prince of Wales told the Irish Daily Mirror how Charles was “very disappointed to say the least” about the fact that Harry had allowed himself to end up in such a compromising situation.
The source said Charles is telling Harry to lie low as the furore escalated last night, among fears that more embarrassing photos of the prince would be leaked on the internet.
Charles is said to have told the prince, dubbed ‘Dirty Harry’ by the tabloids, to throw himself into his military and royal duties for the next few months.
US website TMZ have reported the princes’ minders of being “asleep at the wheel”, adding they were “enjoying the party as much as the prince himself”.
Sources told the website the girls entered the apartment for the party and were not asked to surrender their phones, an epic failure knowing the prince’s wild side.
“As the party fired up, several girls began to snap pics of the prince on their cell-phones. One of Harry’s minders lackadaisically told the women, ‘aww come on, no photos’…
After more boozing the clothes came off and more photos were taken in plain view of the handlers, yet Harry’s people did nothing.”
Meanwhile, some of Harry’s celebrity friends stepped in to support him yesterday.
Richard Branson was one of the first celebrities to hit Twitter with his opinion.
Harry’s next public appearance will be at the Paralympic Games.
