Prince Harry can’t seem to stay out of trouble. The third-in-line for the throne had done anadmirable job in the past year rehabbing his image from royal playboy to respectable—if a bit roguish—younger brother of Prince William. But embarrassing photos of Harry stark nakedleaked to TMZ after a game of strip billiards while partying in Las Vegas swiftly thwart all of that progress.

Prince Harry’s reputation for being a booze hound escalated when reports surfaced that he was captured on video snorting a capful of vodka. The Sun claimed it obtained footage of the 23-year-old prince swigging from the bottle, spitting it out into a bottle top, and subsequently inhaling the regurgitated shot through one nostril as friends cheered him on. His spokesman refused to comment on the scenario, saying only that it was “a private matter.” Staying mum on the subject was likely a good move, since little could have been said to make Harry look like less of a royal fool.
In 2009, Harry came under fire following the release of a 3-year-old video in which he is seen referring to a Pakistani cadet at Sandhurst as “our little Paki friend.” Later in the video, he called an officer-in-training “a rag head.” Harry quickly issued a statement saying he “used the term as a nickname about a highly popular member of his platoon.” But the following month, comments he made to a black comedian got him more bad press. Harryallegedly told Stephen K. Amos, who was appearing at Prince Charles’s birthday party, that he didn’t “sound like a black chap.” Amos later recalled, “I wanted to say, ‘How is I supposed to sound?’”
