The UK press has so far withheld from running pictures of Prince Harry apparently cavorting naked in a hotel room with a young woman in Las Vegas – despite them being widely available on US websites.
Clarence House has also reportedly confirmed the authenticity of the photographs, in which the third in line to the throne is seen wearing just a necklace and a wristband with his hands around his genitals, while a topless woman stands behind him.
In the second photograph he is seen bear-hugging a naked woman from behind.
The pictures were first published by US celebrity website TMZ.com, which said they were taken while the prince was playing “strip billiards” during a party at his VIP suite at the five-star Wynn hotel in Vegas.
