Prince Harry has, apparently, been up to his antics again - but has he? Is it all a con? What do you think? I must say the film of him in the buff with strategicly placed hands looks convincing, but......... hmm

I'm leaving this thread.

It wasn't actually nasty before.

Annobel Fri 24-Aug-12 09:21:21

petallus, what makes you think that 'the boy next door' wouldn't do just the same, given the chance? But Captain Harry Wales might have had more sense.

What else would happen in a billiard room?

Actually, it might be better if you didn't answer that.

Was it billiards or was it pool – they are quite different games. And, while side-tracking shamelessly, can anyone explain to me why people talk about a billiard room? Is this a room where you play billiard – yet another game with sticks and balls?

Bags Fri 24-Aug-12 08:40:07

Well, what do you expect from tacky celebs? He's one of them.

Not that I think there's anything wrong with playing strip billiards if that's what you want to do. People just love salacious gossip.

Just seen the pictures on Sun website.

And there was me thinking he was the boy next door type!

grin

We've had tacky, celeb-style behaviour from royals before too Bags. smile

Bags Fri 24-Aug-12 08:22:53

We've had daft young princes before, not to mention daft kings. Nothing new to see here. Move along, folks. wink

Bags Fri 24-Aug-12 08:21:46

My ideal young man has a bit more intelligence in his face as well.

Nanadogsbody Fri 24-Aug-12 08:21:06

I'm with Bags on this one. I don't really care and I think it's funny. smile

MaggieP Fri 24-Aug-12 08:19:57

There will be another front page news story soon!

Bags Fri 24-Aug-12 08:14:44

I saw the BBC online news pic of him, that's all. Shows his flabby jaw and a bit of torso. I can imagine the rest so prefer not to look as I know it won't be my ideal of a lean and healthy young man. Nyah boo, jess! grin

JessM Fri 24-Aug-12 08:10:22

Ah! Caught you out Bags - you may not be interested, but you had a look hmm

Bags Fri 24-Aug-12 06:03:07

Why do we care what Harry does? Why do we care if he "brings the House of Windsor" into disrepute? Doesn't bother me. I just think it's funny and it proves that even royals are just ordinary, often rather stupid people.

I also think Harry is carrying too much body fat for a man of his age. Too much soft living.

Bring on the republic.

Just heard. The Sun is publishing the photos tomorrow "in the,interest of the freedom of the press!"sad

JO4 Thu 23-Aug-12 22:46:48

that didn't quite come out right.

JO4 Thu 23-Aug-12 22:46:03

That is so silly.

Of course he would have been drinking. It was a party. In his hotel suite.

Why would I regard someone suggesting that as high treason? confused

Ella46 Thu 23-Aug-12 22:40:44

Only to JO4!

JO4 Thu 23-Aug-12 22:37:18

hmm sigh!

Annobel Thu 23-Aug-12 22:36:33

He probably does care now that he's sobered up. Do you think he would have got so carried away if he hadn't had a few little drinks? Is it high treason to suggest that a royal could be the worse for alcohol?

JO4 Thu 23-Aug-12 21:58:34

Well, he has been to Afghanistan. And badly wants to go again.

"From those to whom much has been given, much is expected."

Doesn't work in real life, though, does it?

JO4 Thu 23-Aug-12 19:00:42

Do we think he cares? grin

absentgrana Thu 23-Aug-12 18:52:19

I'm not criticising him for anything. I am saying that the price you pay for being immensely privileged is that photographs of your naked body are spread all over the internet if you are so stupid that you rely on being privileged to protect you. He is not a teenager.

JO4 Thu 23-Aug-12 18:48:26

I don't think he would have fallen for blackmail. The pictures were innocent.

And you can't criticise him for being "immensely priviledged". That's just what he was born to. He still needs to be young.
