PICTURES of a naked Prince Harry, grandson of Britain's Queen Elizabeth, cavorting with a nude woman in a hotel room in Las Vegas were published on a United States website yesterday, in a potential embarrassment to him and the royal family.
A royal source confirmed that it was Harry in the photos.
One photo published on the celebrity gossip website TMZ shows Harry, an Apache helicopter pilot in the British army, covering up his genitals with his hands while an apparently naked woman hides behind his back.
The other shows the 27-year-old prince, third in line to the British throne, pictured from the back hugging what appears to be the same naked woman.
The blurred pictures were taken in a VIP suite of a hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the prince was enjoying a private holiday with friends.
According to TMZ, the pictures were taken after Harry and his friends went down to the hotel bar and invited some women, who have not been identified, back up to their room. The photographs of Harry were taken after the group started playing a game of strip pool.
"We are not commenting specifically on the photos," a spokesman for the prince said.
Harry, son of heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles and his late ex-wife Princess Diana, earned a reputation when he was younger as a royal wild child after he admitted in 2002 dabbling in marijuana and under-age drinking. Three years later he made headlines when he wore a Nazi uniform to a costume party.
But in recent years Harry, who served in the army in Afghanistan four years ago, has shed much of this playboy image. He recently embarked on a highly successful solo royal tour of the Caribbean and Brazil as part of celebrations for the queen's 60th anniversary on the throne.
The prince appeared on the front pages on British newspapers yesterday - not because of the naked pictures but over reports of a race he had with double gold medal winning US Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte at the Las Vegas resort pool.
However, the love life of the prince, whose elder brother William married Kate Middleton last year in a ceremony that attracted huge global interest, continues to draw attention.
