Prince Harry Explains 2012 Las Vegas Nude Photos To Not Acting Like A Royal
Buckingham Palace has been quite used to scandals involving members of the royal family. There was Princess Margaret's love affairs, Prince Charles' divorce with Princess Diana and other royal dangerous liaisons. But none was perhaps as modern-day as the nude photo scandal of Prince Harry.
More than two years after the embarrassing incident, Prince Harry finally broke his silence during an interview by Man of the World magazine where he is the cover of its 10th issue.
The prince went on a holiday to Las Vegas in August 2012 and played strip billiards with sexy women. He was photographed in the nude by one of the women using her cellphone and the images were published by British tabloids which naturally angered his grandmum, the Queen.
"It was probably a classic case of me being too much army and not enough prince. It's a simple case of that," was the reply of the fourth in line to the British throne.

While he made the front pages of British tabloids without a stitch, although some of the newspapers censored his more private parts, this time Prince Harry is cover boy for the magazine with the monarchs surely proud of his images.
According to Inquistr, there are three different Prince Harry covers which were all photographed by Robert Wilson when the royal went on South Pole trek in December 2013 to raise funds for the Walking the Wounded charity.
If the prince has a soft spot for that charity, it was because of his experience in the army where he saw soldiers as young as he is wounded or dead. He recounts, "To see young lads - much younger than me - wrapped in plastic and missing limbs with hundreds of tubes coming out of them was something I never prepared myself for."
But it wasn't just soldiers whom he saw bloodied. Prince Harry likewise recalls being appalled by the sight of tragic injuries and deaths of locals, including children, caused by roadside bombs during his second tour of Afghanistan.
Prince Harry also supports the charity Sentebale, where he is a co-founder and which promotes the Feel No Shame campaign for World AIDS Day that encourages people to tweet their personal secrets. On Monday, the prince released a video where he shared getting nervous when speaking before a big crowd which often requires him to wear a suit.

Probably, the prince is more comfortable with smaller crowds - such as a roomful of ladies playing a game of strip billiards - and he is in his birthday suit.
