After seeing the antics of Harry on TV screens, no doubt there will be plenty of remarks for and against this extremely bad publicity for the British Monarchy. There will be excuses made and accusations and the world press is going to have a field day. I can imagine any one of us in the same situation at that age, but at least we would not be allowing photographs to be taken. Before anyone says he is only human and the same as everyone else, he is not he is a Prince of the Realm and in line of succession to the throne. I wonder at his intelligence in allowing himself to be put in that situation, with all his wealth he could at least do it behind closed doors. He must know by now who his real friends are and the person or persons who took photos and passed on should I imagine be waiting a long time before any further invites. As regards his Army career I cant see him ever making the Intelligence Corps. If he really wants to be one of the boys I suggest he renounce all attachments to the monarchy and continue his army career again without the privilege Royal Rank. I dont really feel sorry for him, because of his own making he has put himself in this position. His background does in no way give him the right of putting the Royal Family to so much disrespect from others all over the world. Regards John Sabourn

Who cares about this, I dont, and I will not be rushing out to buy that comic called the sun. I am just glad there were no smart phones with digital cameras in my days at sea, a lot worse things were seen and done in my day.

Who cares, hes only suffering what thousands of other people have to suffer, as detailed in the phone hacking, they are just spoilt brats who live a highly comfortable life, at our expense, and want to use the HRH title when it suits, but at the same time behave as the rest of us. Tough, get on with it KT

Put this before in the wrong post. Re Harry, what was his bodyguard doing letting this get out. He or them are supposed to be looking after his interests or was it them who took the pictures. No doubt there will be a few signing up for the dole next week. Cheers John Sabourn

It should not be allowed to have happened, I am bleddy mad about it.
.
Why????.
.
Cos I am Bleddy jealous, I wish I was a 27 year old, fit ,healthy, lusty, young man again instead of a 77 year old, naked in a hotel room with an attractive young lady. Why should he have all the luck.
We should be grateful he was not with a young man, now that would have been news.
Brian ....... dreaming about the young ladies and not so young ladies I once cavorted with . Happy days. all I have now are memories.

He has as much right as anyone else to enjoy himself. We all made the same mistakes and he is only human anyway. These guys deserve to enjoy the youth and freedom whilst they can. He and his brother have been subjected to so much and done so much good for their family. Anyone who says he doesn't deserve a bit of fun before going back to war is completely wrong in my opinion. Its just a pity that someone had to spoil it all for him for the sake of a few quid. I seem to remember his Aunty and Uncles making far bigger fools of themselves on Its a Knockout and that was done deliberately on prime time tv.

Harry..
The world could do with a large dose of Anti-Knock compound.
I don’t feel any shame.The rest of the world should examine the antics of it’s own royalty, or leaders,politicians and “celebrities”.
The British Royal Family has endured, for 1,000 years and is only a laughing stock to those republicans or anti-royalists who to my mind have no such culture or traditions of their own.
Prince Harry has served his country well,as does William,and his mother Princess Diana before them.
Perhaps though,I think this will be Harry’s ‘last fling’,and I think he will certainly realise that now it‘s time to grow up a bit !
(Gulliver-in leafy Worcestershire-in Middle England,where the rest of the world seems light years away,where no copies of The Sun ever appear in the shops,and only The Guardian and Independent are read-and where ,when too much news appears on the radio,TV or Internet,we use the tactic of self-censorship-we just switch them off.!
There’s far too much going on in this world to worry and write about !
If it ain’t happening in Worcestershire,England-then it ain’t happening at all.!)
