Prince Harry parties in Los Vegas

Just when the British royal family was crawling back towards respectability again after the Diana debacle, along comes Harry.

Nude pictures of the playboy prince in Los Vegas, many of them quite graphic, were put online by TMZ.

His grandmother Queen Elizabeth will be furious. She had worked mightily, an historic trip to the Irish Republic, opening the Olympics, meeting Martin McGuinness, to dismiss the criticism that the monarchy was just a bunch of lazy layabouts living off the public purse, who were over sexed, over paid, and over there.

William's marriage to Kate also helped set a new serious royal tone – until now.

Now Harry has smashed much of the good work done and given every tabloid reporter the dream story.

The man is clearly an idiot if he went about naked knowing he was being filmed and cavorting with naked women knowing they’d sell their story in a flash.

Harry strikes me as the dumbest royal of all, clearly a result of Diana’s intimacy with empty-headed James Hewitt, who he resembles so closely.

One wonders what Prince Charles (I’d love to be your tampon) thinks of all this. After all he hardly set the barrier very high when he conducted his affair with his concubine while he was married to Diana.

It all looks like the same old story with the royals and the hard-pressed taxpayers in Britain will be asking that fundamental question again.

What did we do to deserve these leeches living off us forever more?

What indeed?

Seems more of a rant about the journalists hatred of him, by even saying Prince Harry's father is Hewitt. That's really great journalism.

How does the fact his friend is a low life by selling naked pictures going to screw it up for the Queen? I think it's sad people want to see pictures of him naked.

Again, how many times do I have to say it, Sparklet (not knowing he can trust). It's the inbreeding. Same with his dad and particularly his Grannie and Philip.

What straight young man wouldn't want to cavort with naked women? I'm only jealous it's not me!

Lets see...young healthy man, 3rd in line to the Brit. throne cavorts a bit whilst off duty. A few years ago, Prince Charles, first in line to the throne, takes a mistress and is on record as declaring that he wishes he was her Tampax. Tell me - who brings the Royals into more disrepute? Harry's biggest problem appears to be not knowing he can trust - this was a private party wasn't it? He wasn't out flashing in the street.

This is much to do about nothing. He's single, full of hell and alive! Leave him alone, most of the whiners wish they were there. How about the Congressional Repub fact finding mission to Israel skinny dipping in the Sea of Gallilea? There were men & women in this group, how many female congress people were skinny dipping? Now that's a story, Harry has been elected to nothing in the US and is therefore just another publicity hound.

I would be the very last person on the planet to defend the dysfunctional Saxe-Coburg and Gotha family and I don't plan on doing it today. Harry or whatever his name is, is a "throw away" member of the family. He really has no purpose in the "royal" scheme of things. What do you expect from a bunch of inbreds? Hell his grandma married her cousin! For sure, he's 27 years old and a military careerist. This is the guy who was wearing an SS uniform a few years back at a costume party. Just as an aside, how on earth did these inbreds get Windsor out of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha???

Mr. Roberts, a mean-spirited pointless piece that almost all of us could have done without. Clearly, your intent was to grovel to the Windsor hating crowd. Shame on you, lad.
