Here is a proper picture and article about Prince Harry:

Prince Harry in Afghanistan - Telegraph

He might not be very discrete when it comes to the people he chooses for billiards, but I have nothing bad to say about a person of wealth and privilege who straps himself into an Apache.

The kid, prince or not, is a serving combat pilot, let him enjoy his R&R as he sees fit

P.s. from the pictures I've seen the babe was not to shabby..

I can't say I care much for royalty, but the young man has earned the right to do as he pleases IMHO.

Whether by choice, family pressure, or moral obligation, Harry has served honorably in a military capacity that is far removed from being positioned safely in the rear. He's a fine young man ... so he had a fun time in Vegas, big deal. Doesn't everyone?

And I promise, no billiard balls jokes. That would be too hard on everyone.

All the other ex-pats that I know in Las Vegas all grinned about this, saying something along the lines of "That's our boy!" While he may be third in line to the throne, he is also young, single, serving in the army and visiting Las Vegas. Talk about Doh!

Prince Harry did have a good time. SO WHAT?????

He is young and enjoy's life.

Prince Harry says he was a 'Taliban target' - YouTube


Here he is in his prior deployment to Afghanistan. Note the Browning 9mm in his vest. He is quite candid about being a known Taliban target, but took that in stride.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pNu1...feature=relmfu


Here he has a go at the Taliban with a machinegun and talks more about his then-duties as a forward air controller, prior to qualifying as an assault helicopter pilot. Note the rifle on his wall and that he wears his 9mm about knee height in the scenes where he is walking out of his shelter. I think it'd be more comfortable worn higher up. But he's never asked me...

His brother, Prince William, rescued someone this week with his RAF 'copter. Wm. flies rescue choppers; Harry opted for Army combat models. Both are fully competent serving officers.

BTW, did anyone else notice that neither brother wore a sword at William's wedding? Other officers present did. I wish they had.

At least he shows he has a human side , not the droll , dull , stuffed shirt of the typical 'royal'.

But he'll probably forever be treated like a red-headed step-child!

Every time I look at those boys, I get a great sense of pride for our British cousins. They could so easily have been right next to Paris or Lindsay in the print rags. But instead, they grew up right and tall.

BTW, when I was in the Navy, we went to Subic Bay, Pattaya Thailand, and even a place called Tijuana. I'm sure glad everyone didn't carry movie cameras in their pockets.

Let him have some fun. Didn't look like he forced anyone to be there.

I thought "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"... WHOA... so much for that advertising campaign!!!!! Anyone who serves in any civilized military and risks their lives for the common good and is single has earned the right to let loose once in a while, IMHO.

Don't judge them all by Prince Charles. Andrew has quite a reputation as a party animal. He was once linked to the actress Koo Stark, lucky devil. Rumour has it that he and Sarah Ferguson have been caught swapping spit when chance brings them together. That's redheads for you.

Prince Edward also kicked over the traces, telling his father to take a hike over leaving the military. He is now a historian and occasional broadcaster.

+1 to all, he's young, single, and on his way to a combat assignment, live it up young man! I'm happy to see how normal he is despite his upbringing and heritage, heck, I'd have a beer with him!

I would trust this rich, privileged kid with my back in a pickle.
I hope I would be worthy

The American privileged youth should be embarrassed. Military service or some type of service to our country should be mandatory after High School or College. R&R rocks. Right now our Vets and active duty troops are treated okay. I can tell you stories about what it was like in the late 60's.
Forgive them for they know not what the do. Screw that, just a knee to the groin. And a big kiss for the girls so they know what a real man is like.

Hold on now mate.. you forgot.....

I saw that on the news this morning, the guy's a party animal. Must have some American blood in him.

Give the lad his due. He's a combat veteran, and has volunteered to go back in an extremely dangerous capacity. He's young, single, footloose and has earned the right to party now and then. You go, Harry! Britain needs more like ya, mate!

I'm not a big fan of the royals either but Prince Harry is a credit to his family. In addition to his military service Prince Harry has been recognized for serving numerous charitable and humanitarian causes. I'm more than willing to cut him a little slack for his antics in Vegas...

As Sergeant Violin said, " there's a little bit of rebel in every American ". He might think of us as fun loving colonists.

Harry would put a little backbone in that stodgy old monarchy. Too bad the Brits don't have enough of their own left to make that happen. Joe

Haven't you all been shamed into despising Harry as a person of wealth and privilege?
I thought the media demands that of us.
God bless Harry.
He is not much more than a boy. Nothing makes a boy dumber than a pretty girl.
I remember.
Thanks

I remember celebrating my best buddy's divorce in Athens. He had been home on leave, cleaned out the checking account and divorced his wife who apparently was running around with half the men in Vero Beach. I recall getting on the liberty launch at Fleet Landing, I seem to remember running into the wing of a Phantom on the Hangar Deck and then waking up the next morning in my rack fully clothed. My buddy didn't show back up for 3 days. He was pretty sure he spent a lot of the time in a "house" of ill repute. So party on Harry. Lot's of us have been there.

Yeah , them Brits seem all prim & proper , stuffy and reserved , but some of the SBS guys I met could drink and party like any bikers I've known.

"Haven't you all been shamed into despising Harry as a person of wealth and privilege? I thought the media demands that of us."

Does it not strike you as being extremely odd that so many of the Hollywood, TV, music industry, and political elite (who all have more money than God) affect the same attitude?
