The Queen isn't going to like this at all. WARNING naked prince inside

http://www.tmz.com/2012/08/21/prince-harry-naked-photos-nude-vegas-hotel-party/#ixzz24EQdI4Zd

How much does Prince Harry get paid by the British people? This is probably not how they hope to be represented by their money.

Part of me says...good for him though.

(oh...I didn't link the picture address....I figured if you wanted to see him naked (after playing strip billiards in Vegas with a bunch of ladies he just met...) that you could click over to TMZ.)

For Chrissake get your people to take the phones off the girls before you start that stuff.

C'mon, he's a kid. He has no responsibilities beyond being a spare. Princes have been frisking with handmaidens since time began. I hope they cur him some slack, bacause that is one flat ass.

Not like dressing up as a Nazi. Harry's kind of a trip but he's so ineffectual and goofy I can't give him much crap over it. He reminds me of a Goldern Retriever who pees on your shoes.

"In another photo, a naked Harry is bear-hugging a woman who appears to be completely naked as well."

Is that what they are calling it now?

Seriously though aside from the waste of tax payer money (that's for a different thread) this seems like stupid harmless fun assuming all were having fun and everything was consensual.

unless they are in HM's armed forces and then they get paid like everyone else.

Elizabeth II is one of the richest women on the planet via the family landholdings, so I doubt the British people are paying for Harry's hijinks.

The Queen gets money from the civil list, as does Prince Philip. Prince Charles gets his income from the Duchy of Cornwall, Prince William & Prince Harry get their money from their jobs (both in the armed forces), a trust fund established by (or possibly in the name of) Princess Diana and their father's duchy income.

Queen Elizabeth II is one of the richest women in the world - on paper. As monarch she owns the crown jewels, palaces, artwork, etc. but in practice she couldn't sell any of it off without permission from parliament and any income from a potential sale would probably go to the treasury rather than the Queen. The Crown Estate is a private company and any income from the company go back to the treasury rather than the monarchy, a portion of that income is paid back to the Queen as the civil list. She gets millions each year from the civil list, but the Crown Estate company earns a lot more for the country.

I knew Charles had direct personal holdings as Duke of Cornwall. I mistakenly assumed HM the Queen had something similar. At any rate, Will and Harry are most likely spending their own money.

One of the perks of being rich already. Having Prince Harry be known as staying there might be enough for them to be thrilled at. Maybe less famous corporatists pay the 35K freight. And probably write it off, too because it was for a "business meeting."

and the Queen is a fine symbol of the Commonwealth. I just don't get the hostility to a monarch who would be required to sign her own death warrant.

As Macca said, Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl, but she doesn't have a lot to say.

The spare is allowed to be a bit of a rascal and provide entertainment for the pursed lips crowd. The heir has to be more serious, ready to assume the burden of the crown at any time.

The spare is allowed to be a typical spoiled rich kid. I imagine the heir is doing a lot of vicarious living these days.
