Prince Harry Must Face the Consequences of Naked Antics, Say British Military Officials August 22, 2012 03:35 PM EDT comments: 1 Prince Harry may be a single and very eligible young male, but his naked antics have drawn criticism from those closest to him. First his older brother William has been said to have not been impressed, and now her Majesty's Army is set to have a word with him as well. This isn't just about a young man getting caught with his pants down. This is about an officer in the Army conducting himself in a manner unbecoming his position. Even in the United States, officers are expected to behave in an appropriate manner, and using public funds and jetting off to Vegas for games of "strip billiards" while being photographed with an equally naked girl might be enough to get any officer a dishonorable discharge. It is simply inappropriate and the British Military is doing the right thing in reprimanding him. In fact, he should consider himself lucky that he isn't given the boot. Last year, he attended rigorous training in California and Arizona during the autumn months, and so discharging him for conducting himself dishonorably would probably cost the military more in wasted training than in keeping him...at least for now. He will be reprimanded and reminded by his military superiors of the code of ethics that he is supposed to adhere to if he wants to continue his career in the force. Diana's youngest son needs to realize that even though he's one of the world's most eligible bachelors, he simply can't act like a stud in heat whenever and wherever he wants, especially around so-called friends with phone cameras. Some members of the British public are also up in arms about the Royal's outlandish behavior, and some are calling for him to be stripped of his royal status. Protecting the Royal family isn't cheap, and body guards for the clan total at least $190 million per year. Add that and the fact that Harry blew thousands of dollars on hotel rooms, drinks, and travel, and there seems to be a justifiable outrage among his "subjects" that are calling for changes. Prince Harry is 27 years old. He needs to start acting like a grown adult and not like a horny 19-year-old college frat boy. ©2012 Reno Berkeley for Gather News.

Prince Harry Parties With Bikini Beauties in Vegas August 20, 2012 09:15 PM EDT comments: 1 Since the Olympics are no longer a source of entertainment, Prince Harry has decided to amuse himself by jetting to Sin City. While there, he has enjoyed the amenities Vegas has to offer. The 27-year-old prince served as an ambassador of team Great Britain, and he served that role quite well. The Royal was accompanied by his best friend Tom Inskip, nicknamed Skippy. Also in tow were two body guards provided to him courtesy of the British tax payers. Harry indulged himself by coughing up money for a $700-a-night suite at the luxurious Wynn resort where he and his entourage of lovely ladies in bikinis gambled and drank the night away. Harry is certainly living up to his reputation as a perpetual party boy, and the photos of him surrounded by scantily clad beauties while he parties and drinks leaves little doubt that this is a young man not ready to be tamed any time soon. A day later he moved his party to a private bungalow at the MGM Grand that cost $1,500 per day. Harry is due back to the military in the next few days after having recently gone through more training as an elite Apache helicopter pilot. You could say this was his big hurrah before being deployed to Afghanistan, where he is expected to be stationed for quite some time. Although he spent an extravagant amount of money this weekend, and used taxpayer funds to pay for his body guards, one has to credit Prince Harry for his duty to his country. ©2012 Reno Berkeley for Gather News.
