Four years ago, the world got to see a side of Prince Harry we never thought we’d bear witness to—his bare naked royal ass.
And since that time, Harry has been diligent about never behaving as a royal ass…nor baring it again to the public.
When pictures of him cavorting in Las Vegas were first published, it sent his female admirers into a lustful frenzy and the Royal Family into fits of hysteria not seen since inbreeding was still their dominant gene pool source.
Harry had been out on a boys’ trip to Sin City, eager to let off some mischievous steam. After spending the afternoon gallivanting in a pool with margaritas and bikini-clad women on tap, Harry and his mates retreated back to a very princely room at the Wynn Hotel to continue the revelry (a seven thousand dollar a night suite that comes complete with its own butler, private lift, massage table and, of course, a billiards table).
It was this juncture that Harry indulged in that infamous game of strip billiards, leading to arguably one of the most embarrassing moments the Royal Family has had to deal with in modern times…a picture of a naked bachelor prince surrounded by beautiful coed women…
“The person who took the dimmest view of all was The Queen,” says a royal insider. “She made it abundantly clear that nothing like that would ever happen again. When you get a direct chastising from granny you know it’s serious. It was undoubtedly a turning point.”
So it would appear that granny hand-bagged Harry into shape…there hasn’t been any public nudity since…
At 27, it was time for Harry to live up to his role and reinvent himself. He needed to rebuild his public image before he ran the risk of causing lasting damage to his family.
Peter Pan Syndrome was going to have to be overcome for the good of the kingdom…
The following January, he spoke candidly about his Vegas antics, admitting, “At the end of the day I probably let myself down, I let my family down, I let other people down….It was probably a classic example of me probably being too much Army and not enough prince. It’s a simple case of that.”
While many thought Prince Harry 2.0 would follow the same path as his brother and involve getting married and having children, Harry had other ideas. Instead his reinvention followed his late mom’s shining example and he made philanthropy his priority, putting his love of the military to good use.
In 2014, two years after the Vegas nudity, Harry launched the Invictus Games, an international Paralympic-style competition to help wounded and sick service men and women.
As he approaches his 32nd birthday next month, he’s rebranded his image with a sense of princely purpose. Vegas might have been an unwelcome embarrassment, but it provided the motivation he needed to become the Prince (and perhaps future king) he is today.
