Perhaps shack because his brother is the heir to the throne!!!!
"To be fair, he is not the sharpest tool in the kit, is he?
His brother is not heir to the throne, his father is heir to the throne followed by his brother.
He'd be a popular choice with the Royals as next Honorary Colonel Commandant RM.
Quite right Trim, Saw a whole load of Bootnecks get naked while dancing on tables once, (ranks ranging from Cpl to Lt Col to boot
).

I remember two guys on arrival on detachment flashing their tackle to a cleaning lady in the NAFF 1 in Gib and asking her what she thought of these.. having just got of the Britannia 737 trooper, she didn't think a lot of it, and neither did her RAFP Sergeant hubby, they even made it to the same 737 back to the UK and back onto Germany..
The resulting charges they both got fined different amounts, we wondered if it was due to size issues and they were fined accordingly

Re. Young Mr Wiindsor this is the text I received off a serving officer with 3 tours of Afghanistan behind him.
'His job is government official essentially.Unacceptable'
Dunno myself.

His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales is third in the line of succession to the British throne.
He is also a serving officer in the British Army.
His behaviour in Las Vegas demonstrated conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman.
The public had sympathy for him following the death of his mother, but his previous history of drug taking, substance abuse, drunken outbursts and inappropriate behaviour were wholly unacceptable for a royal personage. Vomiting outside the ladies' lavatory in a Mayfair club a couple of months ago, after yet another night of partying, shows that this Hooray Henry still has a lot of growing up to do.
This latest excess, where he was caught behaving like some spoiled playboy in an expensive Las Vegas hotel suite is hardly going to endear him to the Royal Family, let alone those members of the public who still require high personal standards amongst the monarchy.
Wise up, Wales minor.

i think anyone who judges a servicemens actions on the basis of who their parents are ought to retire to the ante room and seek forgiveness from the Mess Webley.
regardless of who his parents are, and what position he holds - though, you'll note, didn't apply for, and was given no choice over - a soldier has gone to vegas, had a naked bar and shagged a slapper. and a cnut took photos. big. fcuking. deal.
those who whinge about such activities and who claim previous/current service must be both so utterly boring that they were among the 1% of each unit not invited to naked bar, and so gut-wrenchingly ugly that not even a whore would shag them.
he's a good lad, i like him - and i hope gives the good news to whatever cnut or publicity whore sold the photo's.

Beagle are you for real? His behaviour was tame compared to the activities in many an O's
Mess bar up and down the country.
Yes it wasn't in the mess but so what? It's hypocracy of the highest order, judging one young officers behaviour but knowing that worse behaviour is positively encouraged in other arenas!
Did he break the law? No. Is he young and having fun? Yes. Has it happened before with the Royals? You can bet it has but prob before 24 hr insatiable news coverage and camera phones. Prince Andrew will be breathing a sigh of relief that this technology wasn't around twenty five years ago.
Get a grip.

I'm not in the services, never have been, know a lot that are - can't say any I've known or know are blushing virgins when it comes to living it up. And I don't begrudge any of them their fun given what many of them have to do for the country.

What vile practices some drunken squaddies allegedly get up to in secluded areas of some god-forsaken barracks is one thing, what an officer of the Household Division, third in the line of succession to the British throne, does in public is entirely another.
I consider that his Colonel-in-Chief should require him to resign his commission. Notwithstanding his prowess as an army helicopter co-pilot, his behaviour was far beneath that required of an officer.
Until he mends his ways, he is quite demonstrably not fit to hold the Queen's Commission.

What you fail to realise is that the Prince is a member of the military, not the RAF, so rather different standards are expected.
There is nothing in those pictures that is remotely below standard to anyone with a bit of class.
He is a young single man naked in a private hotel room with naked girls.
All of that is not just ok, but should be lauded.
There is nothing "vile" about sex and nakedness. I think you may have a problem. Go see a therapist.
It speaks volumes about your attitude that you consider that he should resign "Notwithstanding his prowess as an army helicopter co-pilot"
What is wrong with you?!!
We are at war!
I would have the Marquis DeSade flying naked except for a neon flashing buttplug in the cockpit against the enemy if it would help us win!
Oh, and yes I have seen far () worse/better in RAF Officers Messes. RN Wardrooms and Army Officers Messes.
You need to move on and stop embarassing yourself.
Honestly, its like watching your dad dancing with Mary Whitehouse.

I actually agree with Beags on this.... For one thing, what signal is it sending out to the world, yet another pissed Brit on holiday behaving like a total arse..
What he is doing is bringing us all down...
And what happens when someone else gets caught in the same predicament, you cannot have two standards where discipline is concerned, you need to be seen to have a set standard, and what he has shown out in public is far below what should be expected of an Officer.
There is a huge difference in what goes on in private in Messes the world over and that which is done in the Public gaze, intentional or not, he should never have put himself in that position. The fact it is splashed across the World shows it was NOT private in a bedroom.

I once showed Harry the M107 .50 cal and he looked up at his mum and said 'One day, can I be a soldier?'. I won't tell you what she said. Harry is a military officer and he has been trained to be a military officer, and he is acting as you might expect a young military officer to act off duty when he imagines no one is looking (if I had to set through that closing ceremony, I'd feel the need to get hammered too).
But there is a world of difference between getting innocently and pleasantly sloshed at a naked bar with your military buddies at no one's expense - and engaging in a drug crazed gang rape after trashing a hotel. And lets face it, this is hardly Tailhook. Puritanical civvies look upon nakedness as shameful, but getting nekked is all part of the military craic; everything on show, everyone equal (well.. almost) and what you see is what you get.
I'm baffled by the whole thing. Its as if we are suggesting that innocent cavorting is a bad thing. Lets be honest, the skuzzy media needed an excuse to show these pics and it has to find an angle to justify it. Why? Because any redtop publishing the strapline 'Harry has some innocent fun and we have the pictures', without covering its 6 by thinking up another 'public interest angle' about his 'many, varied and latest behavioural shortcomings' would be served with a severe dig.
And if all he is 'guilty' of, is naivety, then what has the world come to when a 27 year old who goes to Vegas hotel can only read the Gideon bible there? Its also not so much a reflection of him, but more of us, if we find fault with him over this - and thats the sad part. Finally, a point about The Sun searching its soul and needing to show the pics 'at any cost' because we, the public, had the 'right' to see them? Is this the same valiant, crusading, Super Soaraway Sun that wimped out of showing the Danish cartoons?

Well, Tourist, ignoring your snide comment:
I feel that those who assert:
are perhaps more in need of therapy than others.
And Al R, as for:
That is total nonsense. As is the notion that:
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.
What you fail to realise is that the Prince is a member of the military, not the RAF, so rather different standards are expected.
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.

As with most threads here these days this has at best a tenuous link to mil avaition. All we need now is an airworthiness angle to drag it off topic and we can all sit smugly content that this once useful forum is dragged further down.

Beags,
My point was/is, is that military bonding is similar to a team sport like rugby; you don't have any naked hang ups in the changing rooms after a good match because you have all fought for one common cause. I wasn't implying that the military is full of closet nudists but there is probably a link between it and bonding (in my opinion).
