Was Prince Harry on camera, using cocaine during his Las Vegas trip?

Doesn’t it seem like the guessing game for “What’s the next big scandal for Prince Harry?” is far superior to whatever the actual scandal is going to be? I say that, of course, because I have yet to be provided with the magical and game-changing video of Prince Harry doing lines off of a transvestite hooker’s Lucite heel. According to yesterday’s Radar report, a tape is definitely being shopped around (discreetly!) and it involves a naked hanging-out party of sorts. The source was sketchy as to whether the royal p was ever in the commoner v (on camera), but there’s a new Radar report which is bringing more SCANDAL to the guessing game. Harry actually on camera doing lines?

Cocaine was used in the hotel room where Prince Harry romped naked during a now-infamous Las Vegas party, an eyewitness tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. This latest bombshell follows Radar’s exclusive report that the Prince’s nude “strip billiards” hijinx at the Wynn Hotel and Casino were caught on video, a development extending the Royal family’s embarrassment.

“Things got pretty crazy in Prince Harry’s suite that night. Everyone was drinking and drugs were also being used by some people,” the eyewitness who was present at Harry’s party exclusively revealed to RadarOnline.com.

“Some people were snorting cocaine,” the eyewitness told RadarOnline.com exclusively. The eyewitness asked to remain anonymous due to the magnitude of the scandal.

The new information comes two days after a report in a Las Vegas paper said that the nude photos of the Party Prince’s wild weekend were merely the beginning of the scandal and that “something gigantic” had not yet been revealed.

The source at the party saw cocaine being used and also told Radar exclusively that a number of the guests were on drugs when they arrived at his suite.

“Some were already rolling on shrooms (hallucinogenic mushrooms) when they arrived at the party, and some were just high on weed. And that’s exactly why no one there has come forward on the record…they don’t want to be implicated for any illegal activities,” the source revealed to Radar.

The source did not see Prince Harry use cocaine or any other illegal drugs but also was not with the Prince during the entire party. A different source told RadarOnline.com that Harry’s antics were captured on video, which has been quietly shopped to a very limited number of people as the person with the video is extremely nervous.

“There is video of Harry partying naked with women in the Las Vegas hotel room,” a source familiar with the situation said. “There have been some very quiet inquiries to see how much the video is worth. If the video goes public this could be the biggest Royal scandal ever.”

[From Radar]

The source is very careful not to come out and say that Harry is on camera doing lines. While I don’t doubt that Harry has done coke – and perhaps still does, maybe? – I’m not sure if he would do it on camera? Of course, I didn’t think Harry and his handlers would have been dumb enough to get naked with strange girls with camera-phones, so everything is now possible.

Also: Harry IS going to make an appearance at the Paralympics Games in London. According to UK reports, Harry will not be attending the opening ceremony (later today, Wednesday) with the Queen, Prince William and Duchess Kate, but he will attend some of the swimming events next Monday. William and Kate will be making appearances together (and separately) on Thursday at the games, and Kate is also scheduled to attend some events on Sunday as well.

    this behaviour isn’t going to be so cute in about 5 years. it could turn pathetic, especially if drugs are involved.

    • RocketMerry says:

      It’s already not cute, not attractive and not age-appropriate. And if drugs are involved, well… ew. Just ew.
      So, so disappointing.

      Even the puppy is not amused (and puppies are very forgiving).

      • Loulou says:

        I completely agree. He’s past the age unless he’s aiming for the Lindsay Lohan crowd.

      • sugarcoated turd says:

        LMFAO

      • Violet says:

        Agreed. And if he’s doing serious drugs, then this is no longer about fun and games.

        He’s reckless to the extreme, taking risks without regard for his personal safety — he’s very lucky those girls were only armed with camera phones instead of weapons! — and surrounds himself with sycophants who egg him on.

        I hope his family finds a way to intervene before he completely self-destructs.

  2. LJ says:

    Hmm lost interest in Harry.
    Desperately WANT that puppy though

  3. Luise says:

    This is really getting out control. Who ever the low life creeps are who are shopping these videos should be ashamed of themselves. Come on people this is disgusting behavior.

    • honeychurch says:

      I am more thinking that a late-20s guy living off tax-payers’ money exhibiting behavior like this is pretty disgusting, but each to their own.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if Prince Harry was filmed doing drugs. He has shown some pretty poor bad judgement in the past (the Nazi uniform, anyone?).

      He needs to grow up and he needs to grow up FAST.

      • guest says:

        it’s not really living off taxpayers, though. The royal family makes income off of their family holdings and pays back something like 5x as much into the Treasury as they take out for official functions.

        Now, that’s not to say some superrich 27 year old trust fund kid (essentially, what he is) wouldn’t also be judged harshly for his actions… but most of them never join the military or any other real job either.

      • jenna says:

        I find this whole idea of the RF paying for things out of their “private” income to be a bit ridiculous. How did the RF get all this private income and these huge estates? Oh, right, that’s basically all thanks to the taxpayers of yore…let’s face it, the family may not take everything from the taxpayers TODAY, but they are wealthy largely thanks to having had the taxpayers at their disposal over the past thousand years.

      • Dirtnap says:

        +1 Honeychurch

      • LAK says:

        @Jenna – that argument can be made for all the landed estates. Why aren’t you mad at them? Why are they allowed to enjoy the private wealth and income generated from land that in the mists of time belonged to the people and was also acquired by plundering etc

        Perhaps start an action group for estates like Percy,Portman, Westminster, Devonshires,Marlborough etc , and not forgetting scotland and wales,to hand back all their land and riches because frankly, that’s all tax payer riches.

      • Kate (newer one) says:

        That’s true about revenues from the Duchy of Cornwall lands, absolutely, as they were always meant to support the heir. But when it comes to the Crown Estates, it’s not.

        Back in the day, the monarch had to finance the army, courts, civil service and all other state expenses from the Crown Estates, and raise taxes when there was a shortfall. The more the state did, the more it cost, and the less popular the necessary increased taxation (which had to be approved by Parliament, anyway) became. The monarch didn’t like being associated with that, when they couldn’t even do what they wanted without Parliamentary approval, and conversely Parliament really liked the idea of holding the purse strings, so a deal was struck: they’d pay the monarch a salary (the Civil List) and take over responsibility for the financial running of the state, and in exchange, each new monarch’d sign over the Crown Estates income to the government at the beginning of their reign.

        So yeah, it’s true that the Crown Estates make more money than the RF cost, and every monarch voluntarily surrenders the revenues when they ascend the throne. But that’s only a fraction of the picture, because it was never intended to be solely for their personal use. It was always meant to defray the costs of running the country. So no, they aren’t making us a profit, the money is being spent exactly as it was always supposed to be. On us.

        Having said that, other than security and travel expenses I don’t think any of the Wales family get any of the money. They have the Duchy of Cornwall cash, which *was* always supposed to be for personal use.

      • jenna says:

        @LAK, For sure, the RF are not alone in having huge private wealth derived from the system–I never said they were (and yeah, actually, I would be up for some redistribution of wealth across the board). But the RF are also a bit different from those other families, in that they do receive ongoing support from the taxpayers as well (which puts them in a better position to maintain their private wealth), and you could argue that their private wealth is bolstered by their public persona (for example, do you think those “Duchy Biscuits” of Charles’s would sell at all if he were ONLY the Duke of Cornwall and not ALSO the heir to the throne? I don’t. Would Harry have gotten many of his expenses on this Vegas trip waived if he were just some random aristo and not PRINCE Harry? Yeah, right). Basically, the RF are so public that it’s really impossible to say that they have money/income/perks that are completely independent from their public role. Even when they do something “private”, their publicly funded security are still around (and I’m pretty sure it costs less to “secure” Harry for a night of drinking at his base vs. to fly his team to Vegas). Does this mean that members of the Royal Family can’t cut loose on occasion, or blow their money on ridiculous things? No. But I do think it means they need to be careful about how often they trot out this excuse of “it was our private money, so stop whining”, and that they do have a responsibility to be somewhat more careful than your average rich, aristocratic family.

    • sara says:

      Uh not really. What’s gross is an adult man who lives off the taxes of the British people being stupid enough to do this crap.

      • Duckie says:

        I’m sorry but Harry DOESN’T live off the British taxpayer’s money and it’s incorrect to keep stating so!

      • LAK says:

        The Palace has clarified that he covered entire cost of this trip out of his own pocket.

        Generally speaking, the only thing the tax payers cover is security which for Harry tends to be limited because he lives on base and has little use for it unlike his brother who refuses to live on base and therefore has huge security cost.

      • Bad Irene says:

        to Lak,

        Thought it was reported that Steve Wynn waived the £30,000 cost of PHG stay or is that not right?

      • LAK says:

        @bad Irene – Steve Wynn did exactly that, but the point remains that the bill wouldn’t have made it’s way to taxpayers if he had not. This was a 10day holiday that took in Necker Island,Vegas and Malibu….all on Harry’s tab.

      • Suzie says:

        His security is tax-payer funded, is it not?

    • Bad Irene says:

      I doubt he wanted young ladies with great integrity and character when he picked up drunk strangers in a Vegas bar to party.

  4. TheWayItGoes says:

    It’s damn shame folks want to exploit Prince Harry like this.

    And it’s even more pathetic there’s some kind of perceived audience for this BS.

    • Sachi says:

      Agree.

      Harry is called an idiot and disgusting for his behaviour, but the people wanting to see the sex tape, if it truly exists, are not???

      Ditto for the the people selling the photos and practically pimping Harry out.

      It’s a disturbing trend nowadays when people are readily selling private photos for money just because the person in them is a public figure, and that there’s an actual demand for such voyeuristic tendencies.

      Harry is called out for his behaviour at a PRIVATE party, but the people selling the photos, whose behaviour is just as lousy, can remain anonymous while fattening up their bank accounts. And the people who condemn Harry for his behaviour are also the same ones demanding the tape to be released so they can see it, and they think nothing wrong with it, since Harry is a royal so he’s “fair game”.

      • bluhare says:

        I couldn’t agree more re the anonymous aspect of this, Sachi. If they are going to sell something that will ruin Harry’s career in the army, then they ought to at least have the balls to say who they are.

        Perhaps they are also on that tape doing something illegal. If that’s true, there’s a name for people who turn someone in for doing exactly the same thing they do, and I can’t think of what it is!

      • Mira says:

        @TheWayItGoes/Sachi –

        How is an anon source tipping off the media different from a pap getting photos or videos of famous people and publishing it? Let’s apply the “it’s a shame to exploit” rule for all tabloid media and celebrity coverage. And how is having an audience for any other scandal different from having an for audience this particular one? No one here on CB said that to the KStew scandal. That her PRIVATE life was exploited and commented upon keenly by the same audience. He was lousy enough to not check for phones, he was exposed. That’s what it is like K Stew was lousy enough to get it on in a car and got busted for it. There’s no need to pity Harry or question the ethics of the anon source or audience interest in this scandal.

      • LAK says:

        @Mira – the difference here is that K-Stew did her business in public. On the road for all to see.

        Harry wasn’t doing it in a public place. He was in his own hotel room. He didn’t invite paps to witness. There was an expectation of privacy.

        When Ashton Kutcher was sold out, both he and the girl were rightly condemned, and not just for the cheating.

        There is always an appetite from tabloids and paps help feed that, but they don’t go into a person’s private space and sell what they find there.

        It is always a member of the public who justifies their heinous actions by saying it is a matter of public interest when really it is all about their personal bank accounts.

        That Ashton chick stood by her actions whatever the judgement on her as should these anonymous people.

      • Mira says:

        @LAK – Howdy?

        I have to disagree with you, LAK. You are just rationalizing now. If I make out in a car and someone catches it, then both of us are irresponsible – me for making out in a public area and that someone who captured the moment. The same goes to what happens in a private space where no caution is taken. Both are acts of voyeurism and the new age media bolsters people’s voyeuristic tendencies. There is a market and no one is spared.

        Harry should have known better than to invite people in with their phones. KStew should have known better than to make out in a car in a public area. Both should have known better than to act out the way they did. They can’t be famous and throw caution to the wind at the same time. They and only they are responsible for their privacy. Don’t thrust that responsibility onto that someone who captured him naked. That’s not his/her job and not everyone think of how it might impact the person who has been busted.

        Just because KStew did it in a public space does not mean it wasn’t a private moment of her life. I don’t find any difference in the pap who sold KStew’s pictures to the one who sold Harry’s.

        What I do find amusing is the reaction to these two events. One of them can be irresponsible as a 28-year old while the other should not have.

  5. Bellabumbum says:

    It will be interesting to see how Kate treats Harry…if she’ll be giggling madly at everything he says from now on, hanging on his every word. Doubt it.

  6. Bad Irene says:

    Whenever he does something stupid these photos need to be shown around the world. PHG + puppy= Awwww

  7. Carolyn says:

    So much for that old chestnut “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”. Probably the 45th person to say that.

  8. Riana says:

    I love how he has pics like the last 3 already in stock for when he makes an ass of himself.

    “Harry isn’t so bad! Look at him holding this adorable puppy!”

    Meh, I’m curious to see where this goes. The purely naked billiards line sounded a little too forced wholesome.

    I just can’t muster pity for him. He did it. He did it with strangers. He did it with strangers who had cameras. He’s a moron. If someone has to inform him at 28 people may take advantage of him while snorting, screwing or whatever be was doing then he’s really gonna be a show when he hits his 30’s. Welcome to the states Harry, no Queen waggling the finger at us to keep your secrets.

  9. CarrieUK says:

    I love all the photos of UK troops naked holding their junk saluting in solidarity for Prince Hot Ginge, more naked men! Go to the daily mail website, it’s fun 🙂

    I understand the whole ‘he represents our country’ but he wasn’t, he was on Vegas on holiday, it’s like if I was on hols and had to behave like I do at work all the time… naaaaaa

  10. sara says:

    Do people forget that Harry is a racist immature twat? Why the sympathy for this stupid guy?

    • ANGELIC 20 says:

      who told you he is racist ? he called a guy paki and guess what that same guy told the media that all his friends and colleagues call him paki and that is sort of his nickname. please check your facts before saying stuff.

      • LAK says:

        People Would rather hear that Harry is racist than that this guy has repeatedly told anyone who will listen that is his nickname and everyone in the regiment calls him that and he isn’t offended by it.

        British Military humour is puerile, bracing and can offend, if you are not used to it. However,those guys will take a bullet for each other. The ‘naked salute to Prince Harry’ is a good example of this.

      • David says:

        How about the picture of him in Nazi German Uniform. Very classy.

      • Talie says:

        “who told you he is racist ? he called a guy paki and guess what that same guy told the media that all his friends and colleagues call him paki and that is sort of his nickname. please check your facts before saying stuff.”

        There is so much wrong with this statement…don’t even know where to begin.

      • LAK says:

        @David – He was a teen when he wore that Nazi uniform. He was rightly carpeted and apologised for that.

        What I really want to know is why you don’t think others who attended that party and were laughing right along with him aren’t racist but he is. That includes William.

        He started a charity in Africa soon after the nazi uniform incident that he remains very dedicated to. Not just showing up for photo ops but visits and is actively involved in. If he had been racist before, he certainly isn’t now.

        Harry has grown up for the most part and is dedicated to his charities and work. Washington wouldn’t have given him an award, handed to him by Colin Powell no less, if there were any doubts as to his maturity and views.

      • ANGELIC 20 says:

        David

        you are right ,nazi incident was the worst thing he did as far as i am concerned. what is even more disturbing is that it’s not just harry who was so insensitive to a very bad part of history and people affected by it but a whole elite student society in king’s collage did something even worse then this. few years back king’s collage students(mostly elite and very well educated) organizes a ball celebrating the british empire .this ball offended so so many asians and africans including me because they were throwing a party in the honor of wars, racism ,slavery etc and yet these students from world’s number 1 university did not find anything wrong with it .it’s almost disturbing how some rich kids can be so insensitive and offensive to others /

      • ANGELIC 20 says:

        Talie

        please tell me what is so wrong with what i said because as an asian living in england who has faced racist comments i would really like to know what is so wrong with what i said.

      • Kate (newer one) says:

        Wow, angelic I Googled that ball because I just couldn’t believe it and you are right, 2009 – and supposedly incredibly bright kids! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1139803/Row-Cambridge-Universitys-insensitive-offensive-British-Empire-ball.html That’s horrible.

    • honeychurch says:

      I’m with you on that one.

      • flower says:

        It wasn’t just the Nazi uniform it was the amazing timing of it which had everyone aghast, Europe-wide Holocaust Memorial events were about to be staged and the Queen was due to lead events and remembrance services in the UK, it was unbelievable that Harry didn’t have any knowledge of them, they were widely publicized and he and his troop of idiots decided it was a good idea to wear a Nazi uniform to a costume party.Harry seems to have a knack of displaying his idiocy at the worst possible times.

  11. ANGELIC 20 says:

    i am not jumping to any conclusions before the release of this tape. anyway who reliable radar online is? also if this person wants to be discrete why exactly they are talking to a gossip website ? and if there were a tape of harry having sex or doing drugs why exactly would he carry out public engagements? he of all the people know what exactly he did in his room and i am sure his handlers are keeping an eye on this story ,so i highly doubt he will agree to carry out royal duties after knowing that someone got him on tape doing drugs or having sex. nothing about this story adds up, so for me it’s a waiting game.

    i don’t remember who but someone in the last post keep sating he was having sex in one of the photos ,so i like tell that person that he is not. daily mail wrote what exactly happened in the suite told by a girl who was there that he was trying to cover that girl(i can get you a link) and if you see that photo closely she is holding the billiards stick as she was going to take a shot while he was trying to cover her .

  12. RuddyZooKeeper says:

    So “Harry’s Handlers” let some phones get past them–ok, they got lazy. But to sit back and allow strangers to use/share illegal and dangerous drugs AND record the event with those phones? Who are these people, and what exactly is their job description if not to prevent this very scenario from taking place? They obviously aren’t playing Jiminy Cricket to Harry’s Pinocchio anymore, if they ever did. So little boy needs to start growing up fast.

    • Kimlee says:

      Harry is a grown ass man not some teenager and his guards are not his babysitters.

      • HulaHoop says:

        +1 Kimlee

        Harry’s handlers aren’t nannies and I don’t believe that they are necessarily tasked with making sure that he and his party companions have tea and crumpets rather than booze and drugs. HOWEVER, what they ARE supposed to do is to keep things like this from coming out once they happen. Phones and cameras should have been held by his people upon his guests entering the suite. People could have orally relayed what went on but pictures or it didn’t happen.

        My 2 cents anyway.

      • mayamae says:

        Exactly. Here in the U.S. the secret service sat back and watched the Bush twins underage drink and party in bars. They protect you from others – not yourself.

  13. commentingbunny says:

    “…biggest Royal scandal ever?” I dunno, I think Great Harry’s break with Rome and marriage to Anne Boleyn might still have the edge.

  14. JemJem says:

    OMIGOD what a cute puppy!!!

  15. LeeLoo says:

    I know this may sound had but I still want some kind of act of God to make Harry the next in line for the throne, only because I want a Henry IX of England. Everyone knows that the Ninth Henry would be England’s last monarch. It is only fitting that England’s last king be named Henry.

  16. Roxi says:

    Very much doubt he did drugs. He is an officer in the military. Most military officers take that kind of thing very seriously and know their careers would be in jeopardy if they were caught.

    • sara says:

      Awwww it’s so cute that you think military officers don’t do drugs.

      • JulieM says:

        Awww sara- they don’t. OR- if they do, hope they don’t get caught. They drink and party a lot, hookers, the whole slam. Tail hook. But not drugs. Especially pilots. Random sampling urinalysis, etc. Ruin your military career with drugs. Especially officers. Roxi is correct.

      • bluhare says:

        And, that, JulieM is why Harry wouldn’t want that made public.

  17. Daria says:

    Hmm… I don’t believe Harry’s got a coke problem. He’s admitted to smoking weed but I don’t think he is that stupid. I like Harry though.

  18. Boodiba says:

    He’s about as attractive as his father anyway.

  19. mytbean says:

    So we’ve all seen the humpy naked pictures on TMZ, right?

    I mean… he’s nakee.. he’s “frolicking”… he’s playing blackjack and just basically horsing around.

    Is that what this is all about? It kind of looked like a nudist’s party to me. Not so much an Eye’s Wide Shut sextraviganza or anything.

    I’m a sucker for the gingers… and the bad boys… and princes. So – I dunno. It’s hard not to forgive just about anything. lol

  20. Cathy says:

    It sucks that the poor guy can’t have a what plays in Vegas, stays in Vegas weekend. Guess that’s what you get when you’re known world wide. Makes for some fun gossip though.

    • Riana says:

      I thought everyone knew by now that line was purely ironic. Nothing ever stays in Vegas, no matter who you are, but it’s fun to pretend.

  21. gigi says:

    Let’s just pause for a bit and consider the source, it’s Radar for crying out loud. If you read it through again, it’s a lot of speculation and hype, but not much else. I’m sure there’s a lot more to that night, but personally, I wouldn’t really be all that surprised with anything short of a full-on orgy. Worse things take place on the regular at frat parties.

    And about him living off of taxpayers’ money… someone did the math and it turns out each Brit pays around 85 pence a year towards royal funding. That’s a little more than 1 US dollar annually. For all their entertainment value, I think that’s a pretty good deal.

  22. This Just In says:

    I’ve no interest in this spoiled child. He gets a break from media, etc, because he’s active military and volunteers for war zones. But aside from that he’s just spoiled and entitled.

  23. Jessica says:

    And I suppose nobody has EVER done something just as stupid at Harry’s age??? Come on people… seriously??

    • lilred says:

      I can honestly say no naked billiards or lines of coke for me.

    • Henry says:

      Erm, are you for real?

      You talk as if he is 18.

      The guy is turning 28 this year. A lot of 28 year olds i know are busy working hard at their jobs, supporting families, getting married and having kids. Basically being responsible for something in their lives.

      Why is it when any public figure does something so unclassy, people always come to their defense with statements like “who hasn’t done anything like them”? i know a ton of people who don’t so yeah. quit with moronic statements like that.

      • Hmmm says:

        Agreed! No one in my circle or even in a larger circle ever did that. No one I know does that. No one has had a need to do that.

    • Jaded says:

      @Jessica: I and many others on this site probably haven’t. I would no more have gotten naked with a group of strangers at a party than go to work naked. He’s an immature, entitled little twit, period. Men like him make me cringe and he’s totally turned me off now with his behaviour.

      That he got busted and subsequently humiliated by the world should be a wake-up call for him because he has a very visible and responsible position in the Royal family and the public eye to maintain but he blew it.

      • Another K says:

        @Jaded: Sing it Sistah! Well said. I used to think Harry was absolutely adorable. Now I am “totally turned off” x10. 28 year old MEN do not behave like 18 year old boys. But then, maybe Harry is in reality just a spoiled little boy. Bleh.

      • Sachi says:

        Jaded – Are you implying that Harry deserves to be exposed by selling the photos of him naked and that the people who sold the photos were within their rights to sell him out, no matter that the party was a PRIVATE one, therefore whatever happened in that hotel room should have remained private?

        Was he in a public venue when he stripped down?

        He was in his own hotel suite. He paid for it. He owned it for the nights he booked it. He should have had the privacy that people who book hotel rooms are entitled to.

        He was allowed to do whatever he wanted while in that hotel room, and that includes getting naked.

        Unless he raped someone, abused someone, or forced someone to do drugs/illegal activities and were caught on video, he does NOT deserve all of this vilification.

        That the photos were sold is hardly his fault. To say that he was “busted” is ridiculous. Why, did he actually need to get caught for something?

        What was he doing that was so offensive and heinous that he deserved to be exposed like this? The people who took the photos are hardly the good guys in this. They are worse than Harry, because they’re practically pimping him out.

        So he got naked in his own hotel suite. Call the cops!!!!

        Harry didn’t blow anything and he didn’t hurt the monarchy. If the Windsors can survive the many, many scandals that have come out in the past, I doubt Harry’s naked romp would topple them.

        The only hope to be had here is that Harry will grow up some more and be more careful next time.

        I think once you invite 15 to 25 strangers back to your hotel room, strip naked and then allow people to take photos of it, then you have pretty much lost the privacy card. Legally hotel rooms are considered ‘private’ space in the USA and you can sue anyone selling or or buying photos illegally taken in a hotel room but once Harry knowingly allowed photos to be taken then he lost that privilege. That’s why radar could publish them without fear of legal consequence. No one either side of the pond has said Harry didn’t know pictures were being taken, covering his crown jewels when he was facing the camera along with his statement to the naked girl “don’t worry I’ll protect you” as he stood in front of her seem to be evidence of that.

      • LAK says:

        @Flower – I guess that is why they are leaking that they are worried about being sued for invasion of privacy……

        It doesn’t matter if you strip for 100 or 1 person in a private room at a private party with an expectation of privacy. It remains a private matter. That’s why we have privacy laws. generally they are supposed to be used for public places but clearly we need to enforce them for private spaces too.

        If he was as idiotic as K Stew who did her business in public on the road, then we could argue that he deserves what he got, but he didn’t. And since he didn’t do it alone, those who did this need to stand up and be counted instead of being such cowards.

    • Jessica says:

      I had no idea that everyone here are saints. To call what I said moronic, how nice. I figure everyone has their own opinion. Sorry it doesnt agree with your view. He was photographed or video taped doing his deeds, and yes, he is 28 and royalty, which makes it worse in everyone’s eyes. I just think people are being way too harsh just because he is who he is. I guarantee you that if it happened to some ordinary joe, this would not be an issue at all. I am not agreeing with what he has done or condoling anything one bit, I am just saying that in my opinion, people are going a bit overboard about this. He did what he did, and it was documented. Big deal. Everyone makes stupid mistakes and I guarantee you he will be in trouble for what is going to surface and what has come to public view already.

      • honeychurch says:

        ” I guarantee you that if it happened to some ordinary joe, this would not be an issue at all. ”

        If Ordinary Joe got caught doing lines with naked girls and the pictures were visible to all on FB, Ordinary Joe would most likely lose his military job.

        It is not cool. And he is 28. 28 is grown-up, last I checked.

      • Jessica says:

        I never said it was cool. I didnt say that 28 was as kid. Just my opinion, thats all. Sorry if I dont see things through everyone elses rose colored glasses.

    • MaxxHotness says:

      +1 let this guy have some fun… 28 or 48, royalty or regular joe wtf it’s Vegas and further more vacation…. I know I have seriously partied on vacay and thank god no one took pics. Sounds pretty tame for Vegas naked people, alcohol, coke isn’t that Vegas m.o.? Anybody seen very bad things or fear and loathing in las Vegas? Makes Harry’s trip seem like Disneyland….

    Was’nt there a blind item about a member or royalty doing coke at a party?

    • ANGELIC 20 says:

      maemay

      there was a sex tape or gay sex tape, video of william full on making out with a girl on stairs and in an elevator ( while he was with kate in 2006 0r 5 i can’t remember exactly ) and many more videos of many royals but never saw the light of day as they were purchased by rf .

  25. Won Won says:

    I thought that troops pictures were funny but won’t they get in trouble for that?

  26. Christine says:

    Since money is tied and mentioned to this current issue; I have a question for someone re- late Diana (mom).
    As a daughter of an Earl, was or did she have significant money of her very own prior to and after her wedding to Charles?
    In other words, does the male heir sp Earldoms, inherit and control 100% ?

    • MooHoo says:

      christine, see below.

    • LAK says:

      @christine – that is right. Estates always go to the heir.

      Daughters get nothing or ‘gifts’. The gift may be a trust, but it is never significant enough to cause much of a dent in the estate wealth.

      In Diana’s case, pre-Charles, she had a flat, and a female relative had made a trust that gave her some cash. Her father left her some money when he died, again not a significant gift. Bulk of her money was the divorce settlement from Charles. All was inherited by William & Harry.

    • flower says:

      Normally the eldest does inherit everything, but for some inexplicable reason Earl Spencer left around 5 million to Diana (it’s in the public record). Where that large some of money came from is a mystery because they were always selling stuff off to run Althorpe, it was one of Diana’s greatest resentment to wards her stepmother. Her brother Charles was livid, considering the huge death taxes that had to be paid on his fathers death. She and her brother had a huge falling out over it which was never patched up despite brother Charles monologue about his beloved and close sister at the funeral.

      • LAK says:

        @Flower – £5M isn’t significantly much set against the estimated wealth of the estate.

        The problem though is that Estate is asset rich and cash poor. That is always the problem for many of these landed aristocrats. That is why they have to sell assets to maintain the estates. They hate doing so because of course many of the assets tend to appreciate in value, and they would rather hold on to them.

        Charles had similar issues raising funds for Diana’s divorce settlement which she wanted in cash rather than the usual spread of assets and perhaps an income.

  27. Cleveland Girl says:

    I wonder if the Royal family is finally ready to admit that this kid isn’t even Prince Charles’ kid yet.

    • Bellabumbum says:

      He looks just like his grandfather, Phil the Greek, the Queen’s husband. Get over it.

      Put photos of them side by side and it is spooky how much they look alike.

      • flower says:

        For complete accuracy…Phil the Greek is also Phil the Dane.

        Phillip is a Prince of both Greece and Denmark.

  28. MooHoo says:

    dont know the details but she got a significant amount on her divorce from charles and i remember that when she passed away there was a will signing everything over to her sons.
    i think these guys have a lot of costs covered as they bring publicity when they show up at things.
    also think, they never carry loose change with them so someone else carries the costs at all times. it is a privilege for some to hang out with the royals and see that they are taken care of.

  29. backwards says:

    Is this better or worse that wanting to ‘be a tampon’?

  30. Dragon says:

    Does anybody here really believe that these circles drink beer and smoke a little joint?? Of course they are into cocaine. Cocaine makes you fearless and you think you are the king of the world and nobody can get at you, because you are so bloody clever. Yes, these types of parties might be common in the Army and for the young people in England. But Harry is not a common English bloke. Remember?

    • MooHoo says:

      i believe cocaine is rampant amongst bog standard young people in the UK too. so why not at royal/rich levels.

  31. connie says:

    I guess I’m totally unclassy and doing nothing with my life according to other posters… he didn’t hurt anyone and personally Idon’t think it’s really a big deal, public figure or not. some people really need to get off their high horse. I know plenty of people of all ages, successful business owners inlcuded, that do drugs and drink to excess multiple nights a week. Am i saying it’s normal? No. But for peopleto act like he is the only one who lets loose is a bit much

    • Jaded says:

      He hurt his family. He hurt the charities he supports because nobody will take him seriously now. And finally he hurt his own reputation.

      • ANGELIC 20 says:

        ‘nobody will take him seriously ‘ really? this is the most ridiculous comment i have read so far. if he can’t be taken seriously and hurt his charities for striping in his bed room then absolutely no one in the rf can br taken seriously whether it’s doe or diana or charles because they all have done way worse then him.

      • LAK says:

        @Jaded – such hyperbole.

        None of his charities have condemned his actions or disinvited him to their events. He is doing a high profile visit to Wellchild in the next few days. He is still part of the Olympics.

        Further, people still respect Charles after the tampon incident.

        Ditto William and his peen pics, Kate and her crotch pics etc

        Diana and her multiple affairs. Even Camilla these days.

      • Sachi says:

        LAK is right.

        @Jaded – Do you live in England? How do you know he hurt his charities and his reputation? None of his charities have revoked their invitations to him as their patron.

        For us living here in the UK, most people don’t care and we’re already past this. Got a chuckle and moved on.

        Harry was an idiot for being careless and letting himself be filmed getting naked with strangers. But beyond that, it’s not his fault that the photos were sold.

        He didn’t deserve to be exposed to the entire world, since he was partying in his own room, ergo it was a private event and he was allowed to do whatever he wanted in the privacy of his own damn room.

        The fault now lies with the people he partied with, who didn’t have enough decency to let the photos stay private and readily sold the photos for their own gain.

        Now if Harry was doing drugs, then he deserves to be punished. But until photos surface, he doesn’t deserve any of this exaggerated negativity.

    • MooHoo says:

      There is still a big taboo about hard drugs like cocaine and with right. it is a dangerous, illegal drug no matter how acceptable it is in many circles nowadays. i think the bigger issue is that the royals have worked so hard to improve their bad image through wills, kate and harry, and now harry just comes off looking like, oh another rich, royal sod living it up, having it all and doing what he likes. it doesn’t work with image of harry that has been so successfully marketed over the past few years.i believe this image is probably closer to the truth about Harry.

      • Sachi says:

        Oh, please.

        Harry has two sides to him: one side likes to party. The other is a dedicated Apache pilot who has served in Afghanistan and is very active with the military and his charities.

        He has been able to separate the two sides successfully.

        Those of us who either follow the Windsors, or actually live in the UK and aware of Harry’s activities beyond his partying. know that Harry is more than a party hound.

        To dismiss him as a spoiled brat who only lives to party is disingenuous at best.

        He has done his royal duties well when it is required of him. He hasn’t done any serious disservice and disrespect to the Crown and country, any more than his relatives’ scandals that have put the Windsors in a negative light before.

        It’s ridiculous to hold him accountable for his sex and party life, too, especially what he does in the privacy of his own hotel suite.

    • ANGELIC 20 says:

      MooHoo

      so all the work he has been doing for so many years is not the real him but these photos are the only side of him because we are only defined by are mistakes and nothing else. so by your statement diana was nothing more then a slutty woman who slept with married men or was a disturbed woman who treated her 10 year old son as her therapist and that’s it or charles is a cheating lying ass hole who did nothing else in his life and the same can be said for DOE . i am not excusing harry for his behavior but the fact is he has done really commendable work with his charities (more then william) and has earned two awards for his charitable work from germany and america and that cannot be taken away from him. what he does in his bed room is his business as far as it’s not something illegal but as a public figure it was his responsibility to make sure hat his bed room activities do not find their way to internet and news papers and that is where he failed miserably . he was stupid and lacks judgement and i judge him for that. he works more then the future king , cost less and do great charitable work even with his stupid mistakes and indiscretions .

    • Raven says:

      The Queen is above reproach. And she wants the monarchy to be that way as well. Remember, after the death of Diana, many were questioning whether the monarchy even had a future. They are really expected to conform to a higher standard to be the ultimate representatives of the UK.

  32. Big Eyes says:

    The writing is too soft and molly coddle for my liking compared to the harshness with what we may consider now petty and non trusty stories of William and Catherine. Anyway, the aftermath, I hope he spends his 28th birthday, pushing to 30, with much peace and love.

  33. A says:

    Of course it’s something like coke or being naked on tape…and of course the palace will somehow find a way to make the tape go away. When you are a prince, hooking up with Vegas randoms is incredibly fucking stupid.

  34. Zorbitor says:

    Bath Salts … What about the Bath Salts?

  35. k says:

    I can’t believe that some of you think Harry is a self-made millionaire. Of course he’s living off taxpayer money. Maybe not in every circumstance (such as possibly this trip), but for heaven’s sake, the guy has royal inheritance, and what is the foundation of that $?

    • LAK says:

      We all understand that he is a trust fund kid.

      As for foundation of royal wealth…..several points.

      1. There are something like 20 families in Britain who acquired their wealth in the same way as the royals. No one is questioning their right to the wealth or judging how they spend that money and we can be sure that wealth is kept very much in private hands.

      2. The royals gave back to the nation a huge portion of that ‘plundered’ wealth in the form of the crown estates. That makes alot of money for the treasury.

      3. Over time, they have had private wealth left to them by people who have married in eg The Queen Mother, Diana etc

      4. People trying to carry favour with the family have also gifted wealth in the form of art, jewels, land etc.

      5. The only thing that has really helped is the fact that they never paid tax on any wealth until 1992. That has helped significantly towards their increased private wealth over time.

      6. Ditto any discounts they receive on purchase of goods/services.

  36. Reece says:

    This dead horse has been beat, compounded, cremated, composted and spread around Windsor.
    I’m not buying it. IF there is a video and IF there was anything on it worthwhile, it would have been sold by now. NEXT!

    I love that puppy btw. They match!!

  37. JaneDoe says:

    I would bet a million $’s that the British Secret Service, i.e., MI-6 is either looking for the alleged tape or they already found it. Remember, even though he’s a trust fund baby (good gig if you can get it), Prince Harry is royalty and they have an image to uphold. Powerful people may slip once but it will not happen twice.

  38. Another K says:

    Meh, the royals won’t last out King Charles and Queen Camilla. That gig is just about up. Too bad – because they’re so much fun to talk about!

  39. skuddles says:

    Two things come to mind here…

    1 – Would Harry be stupid enough to allow someone to film him doing blow??? The thought simply boggles my mind.

    2 – And whoever is shopping the vid may find themselves in a heap of trouble soon. These coke allegations could result in a full on investigation (Army), and the seller could be implicated right along with Harry and other party goers.

    What a freaking mess.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Hi Skuddles! 😀
      ITA-If he was THAT dumb and careless then it’s hard to feel bad for him.
      And yes, this is totally opening up a can of worms for a lot of people involved.
      I’m not saying what he did wasn’t completely and utterly idiotic but this is starting to feel like someone just wants to “make an example” out of him.

      • skuddles says:

        Hey Kitten! I agree – if he was dumb enough to let someone film him doing drugs my sympathy would seriously wane. I’ve always adored Harry, flaws and all, but he pulled such a boner here… in more ways than one! 😀

        I hope kiddo comes out of this okay… in many ways he’s just a normal young dude, wanting to party with hot babes – can’t fault him for that. But he needs to learn to keep the royal scepter under wraps!

  40. If he is doing drugs he will be thrown out of the army. I seriously doubt he is that stupid.

  41. Chria says:

    Wow this scandal thing has just gotten out of hand. I feel sorry for Harry and I think its pathetic what people will do for money. Lets ruin someones life because they’re famous and not obviously human. Yes drugs and partying is irresponsible behavior, but its not the worlds place to judge him. I’m sure everyone here has made an embarrassing “what was I thinking ” moments and I’m very sure you wouldn’t want that mistake blasted for the world to see either.

  42. flower says:

    It might be worth remembering Harry’s last public brush with drugs, this article names Guy Pelly as pretty much his drug dealer when he was underage, Guy is still one of Harry’s best friends , he’s the one who owns that sleazy night club in London that has live sex shows in the back room.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-94482/Prince-Harry-I-took-drugs.html

    • LAK says:

      In recent times, Guy Pelly is more often photographed with William. As recently as this summer when they were photographed clubbing as wales was flooding, And various William sightings around his birthday celebrations.

      If Guy is the culprit then and up to his old ways, then perhaps we need to examine William’s behaviour

  43. Big Eyes says:

    ^ That seems part of the norm in Harry´s circle. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-335955/Chelsy-dope-smoker.html

    • LAK says:

      That article is all kinds of wrong. Those journalists are stalking a 19yr old kid who is on holiday with her friends rather than her assumed famous boyfriend….. and publishing it under the guise of ‘journalism’.

      Further, no one at that point anticipated that it would turn into the 7yr big love so publishing this is really not in public’s interest.

  44. Puckdawg says:

    Big f’in deal. Who here hasn’t at least attended a party with drugs available? And if he did some coke, within a private room, isn’t that his problem? It’s certainly not mine.

  45. Bobby the K says:

    These calls for him to ‘grow up’ may not amount to much. People might have to accept that this may be all we get. Perhaps from now on it will just be hid better.

    • really? says:

      I agree, if at 28 he acts like this, then he may stay like this for the rest of his natural life.

  46. uncle Frank says:

    If I had his money I’d be doing much the same thing.
    It’s not his fault he was born a royal. He does his bit in soldiering and watching endless boring ceremonies and certainly deserves a 5 star orgy if that’s what he wants. The only problem here was he got caught. Next time he should insist on better security.
    Also what’s wrong with cavorting naked with other people? It’s perfectly natural!
    Are we all puritans now?
