Prince Harry’s nude photos reportedly have the Royal Family fuming at both the prince and his handlers.
Harry and his male friends invited several women they had just met back to Harry’s VIP suite at Encore hotel in Las Vegas the night of his wild party, according to TMZ.
Witnesses told the site that the prince’s minders and security team did NOT ask the women to turn over their cell phones—royal mistake.
Allegedly, when the women started taking pictures on their cell phones, one of Harry’s minders casually told them, “Aw, c’mon…no photos.”
Even worse, the sources said that the handlers were enjoying the party more than protecting Harry. As the wild evening progressed, more photos were taken in plain sight of the prince’s team, who allegedly did nothing.
TMZ spoke with several people in the Las Vegas VIP scene, who said that Harry’s royal snafu could have been easily prevented. One said, “Harry’s team acted like a bunch of amateurs.”
Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte was also in town that raucous weekend.
Lochte recently sat down with “Today” and talked about how he was famously challenged by Harry to a swimming race at the hotel pool party.
“He’s part of the royal family and everything, but he’s really a nice guy,’’ he said. “He’s really talkative. He just wanted to meet me and honestly wanted to race me. I thought that was the coolest thing.’’
The gold medalist wasn’t invited to play strip billiards with the Prince, however.
“He never said anything like that,’’ Lochte said. “After our race and everything, we went our separate ways. I’m kind of happy. I don’t need that.’’
Page Six reported that after the wild Friday night, a sheepish prince surfaced in Los Angeles looking pale and not too happy to go home to London and face Grandma, Queen Elizabeth II. According to reports, the Prince is flying home today.
