Which is not to say, that in centuries past that heirs didn't behave much the same way - if not worse. They just didn't have cameras to record it back then.

It still isn't right. This is the 21st century people will see him as a role model and at the present moment he is not being a good role model. Seriously he is representing the royal family. The whole world will see this.

King Edward 1 (longshanks) of England. Hated jews, put them all in camps, forced them to wear gold stars and executed many of them to avoid feeding them.
Famous for violent campaigns against Scotland and Wales.

Henry 11, had the archbishop of Canterbury murdered.

Henry 8th. Beheaded his wives to avoid divorcing them. Allegedly a bit of a hedonist with a taste for good food and wine in massive quantities.

Richard lionheart, went around the world forcibly converting people to Christianity. "join my religion or die"

I could go on, but in comparison to many of his forebears, getting drunk, nekkid and having a party is hardly breaking the mould, is it ?
Put it this way, if my parents seen pictures of me like that they'd be humiliated. Imagine how the royal family feel. Its certainly not giving them a good light.

A funny observation is that its mostly men who are giving him support. HMMM..

As I said in an earlier post, I'm sure there are a lot of pictures of me that I wouldn't want my mother to see !!

Frankly, I don't care if they'd be humiliated, I live my life for me, not them.

Harry lives his life for him.
I have no feelings about him either way. Some say he's a good guy, some say he's a jumped up posh twerp, but what he does is no business of mine, yours, or anyone else except him and his family and friends.

The person (a stranger) who took the photos sold them to TMZ for approx $20,000.00. Not a bad payday. I bet it was a woman who took the cell phone pics.

I mentioned this before but I think it's adorable how he's standing in front of that young lady, hiding her. He looks as though he's reassuring her "Don't worry, they're after me, not you".

As people have mentioned, this is in the privacy of his quarters. If I, in the US, rented a hotel room and undressed I think I could sue a person who took pictures of me without my approval. A person is entitled to the privacy of his own quarters.

I know the British think Americans are 'sue crazy', but the larger picture for me is not Harry's buff body and what he does with it, but that the dirty creep who did this invasion of privacy and betrayed trust should face some sort of penalty. I'd like to know what transpired in that room right after those pictures were taken. I suppose the pics from the camera went directly to an email account.

Poor Harry.

Don't kid yourself.


People in WalMart in Pennsylvania

The US South ain't got NUTHIN' on people from the Mid Atlantic region!

But I digress....
