Prince Harry of Wales is known as the royal family's very own party animal. The red-haired bachelor knows how to have a good time, and he's not shy about taking off his shirt (or more) for a bit of fun. Unfortunately (or fortunately), many of his antics are often caught on camera.

Take a look at the Prince Harry's best topless photos and discover why this Prince Charming is so much more than his royal title.

Romance in the air

Before Cressida Bonas, there was Chelsy Davy. The two lovebirds were private, but ventured out once in a while for some fun. One case was their vacation in Mauritius Island, Africa, where Prince Harry was able to chill out with his then-girlfriend. Witnesses told The Sun that the couple was relaxed as they swam, drank and lounged in the sun.

In uniform

You know what they say about a man uniform--chicks dig it. Ladies will undoubtedly swoon at this one photograph that encompasses so many things a woman dreams about: a prince, rugby, and a uniform, among others. This particular photo was taken at Afghanistan during a casual game the royal was playing with other soldiers. Showing him fit, handsome, and in the middle of serving his country, this certainly captures Prince Harry at his absolute best.

Throwback

Young shirtless Harry jumps in the ocean with William, obviously having a great time as their mother Princess Diana looks on. This precious photograph shows Prince Harry was as fun-loving when he was a child as he is now. Until now, both princes commemorate the memory of their mother in various occasions throughout each year.

Poolside at Las Vegas

Well, it is called Sin City, so there's no wonder why Prince Harry took the opportunity to indulge in some sinfully blissful activities as a break from royal duties. The prince enjoyed the pool day and night, surrounded the entire time with a bevy of beauties and a few friends. He looked positively tropical in a pair of red Hawaiian shorts, going topless to bask in the Vegas sunshine. Although the fun-loving royal racked up a large bill with his booze, chow, and 8-room suite, DailyMail reported that he didn't have to pay for any of it as the hotel owner Steve Wynn took care of all his costs.

Vegas Pt. 2

In his latest Las Vegas trip in 2012, Prince Harry learned that what happens in Vegas, do not always stay there. Private photos of the prince in his hotel suite stark naked were leaked to the public in a much-publicized scandal. The photos showed Prince Harry completely naked, although he used his hands to prevent full-frontal nudity. Still, the images are racy enough with a girl standing close behind him naked as well. During a recent interview with U.K. reporters, Prince Harry talked about the controversy, saying it was a situation where he was "being too much army and not enough prince."
