"Royal Sceptre & 2 Orbs"

Others who might have actually been bothered to see the photo's have used the term "ginger nuts".

However, mild piss-taking aside I can't see too much need to be too bothered by the whole business.

Give him a break. First people complain the royals are disconnected with the people and live in their own world. Then people complain that they don't sacrifice their lives in the military (true but being a Forward Air Controller is a close to the front line as it is). So when he appears nude (without giving consent to photographers) people complain he's unfit to be a royal.

Just what do they want?

A single man being naked with a woman (or women) in his private hotel room is unremarkable. When they're naked because they're playing 'strip pool', it's a bit more notable. £5,100 per night for the suite, according to the Daily Mail.

Whilst I don't like the playboy that he's become these days, I'll still defend
Prince Andrew for his bravery in the Falklands - most definitely on the front
line and with his life every bit at risk - both as flying decoy and as emergency
evac pilot.
