Prince Harry's Embarrassing Nude Photo Leak Would Break Princess Diana's Heart

Prince HarryLast 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?

    Yeah. Its sad someone would take and sell naked pics. But its his own stupidity as well. Frankly, the Queen is going to kick his ass. He's probably afraid to go home now. Ha!

    What the hell? It's not like he was running naked through the streets! He was IN HIS SUITE!!! If I was the Queen, I'd be going after the treacherous "friends" who took the pics and released them to the press.

    No, he's a grown man who is single and having fun.  He should be upset that one of his "friends" leaked the photo though.

    First of all, I saw those photos, they are actually kind of blury and you cant clearly make out the face, all you can tell is it is a skinny red haired guy, no proof it is actually Harry. Secondly, if you can't be naked in your own Hotel suite, there are bigger problems then we realize.  Seriously, this whole thing is ridiculous

    This guy is an embarrassment to his family, his country and himself..boys butts arent cute after age 3! with all the privledge he's afforded, this is how he shows his appreciation for the life he's lived? a friend(?)took the pics to sell? so would I! boo hoo.. where are your bodyguards, confiscating cameras? duh grow up, assist your family in getting the respect they need in order to govern their country. If I was his mother, Id be mortified...what a crappy way to show his gratitude to his grandmother! must be a drunkie to care so little..

    @Lizouttavegas-Are you serious? Thank God you are not my "friend". He was in his hotel suite. Have you never shared a suite with friends and changed clothes in their presence? A mature adult does not take naked pictures of their friends and sell them to the press. And uh, clearly you don't understand the nature of the royals in Britain. It's not a true monarchy and the 'villagers' are not their 'serfs'. Harry did nothing wrong by being naked in the privacy of his own suite. His "friend" should be put in jail for lewd and lascivious behavior. There are reasons that health clubs have policies against cell phones with cameras in the locker rooms. If you would do this to him, you have your priorities seriously screwed up and are basically a criminal yourself. I can't believe you are blaming him for his "friend's" criminal actions. You need to grow up.

    I feel bad because the people he was with, he trusted or he wouldn't have been playing strip billiards with them. It was his suite. He wasn't running naked and drunk through the halls!!! I feel bad he can't trust anyone and someone in his "inner circle" was quick to make a buck.
