Last night TMZ published nude photos of a very buff Prince Harry. Oh Prince Harry. Unlike your brother William who mostly does the right things, you are the one who constantly needs supervision. At 27, his behavior (especially in Vegas) isn't all that strange or shocking. It's normal. But as a royal, it could be massively humiliating.
The young prince's mother died when he was still a child and there is some desperation and lack of maternal supervision in his wild ways. Even more striking is the fact that Princess Diana was all but killed by the paparazzi during a high speed chase in Paris. Though her driver was also at fault, according to the jury, there is no doubt that the paparazzi hounding that made her miserable in life also contributed to her death.
So the fact that it continues with her babies would undoubtedly break her heart.
It's obvious why people are curious. Prince Harry is a gorgeous, rich, and young royal. He is a wayward youth who does wild things and gets caught doing them. It's an interesting story. I am in the media. I get that.

But can't a prince get a little privacy? Why do we need to see photos of his naked behind? Is he a little wild? Yes. Is he a little immature? Possibly. Was his brother cavorting in this manner? We don't know. If he was, he didn't get caught.
I imagine, as a mom, Harry's mom might roll her eyes at him and tell him it's a crappy move on his part. But I bet she would be more angry at the creep who leaked the photos. This is someone Harry trusted, I would assume. Because he (or she) wanted to make a quick buck, they sold the photos.
That's the sad part. It's sad that Harry will probably always have to work harder to find people he can trust. It's sad that he doesn't have a mother to help guide his behavior and help him navigate his extra-complicated public life. I am sure his mother would feel sad that just by birth, he was tossed into this life.

Obviously it comes with many perks -- money, great vacations, titles, attention -- but it also has its major drawbacks. This is one of them.
Hold your head high, Harry! This is embarrassing, but you aren't abnormal. The storm will pass and it's a lot less awful than wearing a Nazi uniform for Halloween. So, there's that.
Do you think he should be embarrassed?

Is anyone even remembering he invited a bunch of strange girls into his room? Yeah, if I was royalty and didn't want my naked butt in the papers I wouldn't invite a bunch of random strangers to my suite.
DON'T YA THINK!?
his mom would be laughing it off.
This is so silly! So what? He is a young single man for heaven sakes. Why did you put in the title that this would "break Diana's heart?" That is so stupid! Leave him alone. No one cares. He didn't do anything wrong.
He's a fun loving, red blooded dude hanging out in Vegas. Unfortuantely, he is also someone with a security staff that should have cleared cell phones from the room before they decided to play Pool Strip Poker. BIg deal. At least he's in shape. A rotund royal would have been an embarrassment!
Why would his Mother be so ashamed? If i remember correctly she was photographed topless a few times after her divorce.
WOW leave the poor guy alone.He was in his room having fun.As any man his age should be able to do without fear of these pics ending up all over the world.
Haha yeah I would totally like to see him naked. It sucks that someone would be so money grubbing but that's what happens when you're in the public eye, you have fun and it gets blown up, apparently the only way to stay out of the papers is to be ridiculously boring.
WTF is with all the speculation about his mom, she's been dead for like 15 years. I call this morbid shit-stirring.
It's real easy to speak for someone that you don't know who isn't around to speak for themselves.
he was just having fun.
How dare you act like you know how she would feel. I think its funny and I find your presumptions sick and twisted.
You have no idea how she would feel you never knew her you have no right to begin to say how she would feel.
He was just having some fun playing strip pool with some chicks who did not seem to mind. lol You need to lighten up!
He did nothing to be embarrassed about. He was having fun. Weirdo!
