Well, Tourist, ignoring your snide comment:

What you fail to realise is that the Prince is a member of the military, not the RAF, so rather different standards are expected.
I feel that those who assert:

There are few things more becoming of a British Military Officer than getting naked at parties.

Nakedness, carousing and unsuitable attire have a long and proud history in the British Military and Royalty for longer than many other militaries and indeed countries I could mention have existed.
are perhaps more in need of therapy than others.

And Al R, as for:

...getting nekked is all part of the military craic; everything on show, everyone equal (well.. almost) and what you see is what you get.
That is total nonsense. As is the notion that:

getting innocently and pleasantly sloshed at a naked bar with your military buddies
is normal, acceptable behaviour.

Maybe it's a rockape / support helicopter thing, but certainly was not common in the rest of the Royal Air Force during my service - and I doubt whether it is now.
