Prince Harry is to face a “dressing down” by his commanding officer and is expected to be asked to donate his wages to charity after being pictured naked in Las Vegas, senior military sources have disclosed.

Harry faces

The Sunday Telegraph has learnt that Gen Sir David Richards, the Chief of the Defence Staff, has been involved in deciding how to deal with the embarrassment of the Army’s highest-profile officer cavorting with a naked girl during a game of “strip billiards”.

He has made clear that the head of the Army, Gen Sir Peter Wall, must decide what action should be taken over the Prince’s conduct.

Both men are understood to have been informed of the pictures while on holiday.

Senior sources said that Gen Wall will follow military protocol that dictates that he writes to the commanding officer of the regiment where the Prince is serving.

Senior sources said that in the letter, Gen Wall is expected to request that the Prince, as a holder of the Queen’s Commission, should be reminded of his responsibilities.

Gen Wall is known as a tough disciplinarian.

While there are those within the Army who believe that behaviour off-duty is private, Gen Wall is not among them.

    The military dressing down won’t be nearly as fun.

    We picked up a hat in Vegas a little while ago that says “What happens in Vegas stays on Facebook”.

    Maybe we should send it to the “Pauper” because he surely can’t afford it after having his allowance taken away for two weeks.

    We’re about to find out whether the Prince is a whinging brat or a career military man.

    Can you imagine facing the Queen about this? Hell, I’m skeert for the boy!

    As a member of the Royal Family, Harry should be somewhat beyond the hormone-encrusted stage where cavorting with strange bikini-clad, cellphone camera equipped females while buck nekkid is even contemplated, much less accomplished. His handlers should be fired.

    Must suck to be royalty. If I got naked in my hotel room, with a half dozen beautiful women. My wife would think the pics were photoshopped.

    Aristocrats have always partied hard — more “Eyes Wide Shut”-style than Vegas-style however!

    Bad Brad. He’s got what they call a rosy complection in the British isles. Lots of red blood in that boy. Bet he has balls too. Piloting an Apache Hellicopter in combat is not for pussies. I like the guy. I hope he learned a lesson. He certainly will be diciplined. Probably more harshly than others because of his position.
    Whoever took the photos was no loyal friend of his, that’s for sure. If he was aware they were being taken and did nothing about it. He’s a bit of a dunce. I hope the Army knocks some sense into him.

    Through History the “Royal” family has had its dalliances.

    Harry isn’t the first, nor will he be the last.

    It must be in the blood, I mean to be a “Royal” and all.

    I feel sorry for Harry. I’m sure he didn’t expect one of his fellow partiers to stab him in the back, but it should surely teach him a lession.
    i.e. Trust NO ONE!

    Maybe now that big brother Wills is married, he knows he’ll be bumped down the line of succession, anyway, so might as well live his life.

    Does he ever look like his mother in that photo.

    I can’t imagine why his commanding officer would be fining him. He wasn’t even in uniform when the incident occured.

    Those inbred royals aren’t too bright, are they?… How could Harry think that running around a night club naked was not going to end up with pictures on the Internet? Has he done this before and not had pictures taken? What an idiot. And, if you are a military officer, you should be well aware that your life is not your own to do with as you please, far from it.
