I like Harry, gives me some hope for England.

Charles isn’t his dad.

His dad is an ex-armor Army officer and riding instructor —his biological dad would absolutey have done this.

THIS is his dad:

[Tench_Coxe]

I’d give him a little bit of a break. Considering some other luminaries of British royalty *cough Henry VIII*, this behavior is pretty tame. Makes the guy more likeable IMHO.

Leave the kid alone. Hell, there isn’t a red-blooded, single American male who would have turned down all the honies throwing their hot, naked bodies at ya so get over it.

"he ‘let himself and his family down’"

Nonsense. You did what you're supposed to do: have fun. I certainly did when I was your age!

"but, unsurprisingly given his comments, is largely unrepentant."

What should he repent?

"he should have acted in a more ‘princely’ manner"

You couldn't have.

"the media should never have published ‘private’ photos of him playing strip billiards with a group of women he had met in his hotel bar."

Nonsense again! What else would you expect them to do? Anyway--that's a small price to pay for all the fun you had.

"‘My father’s always trying to remind me about who I am and stuff like that.'"

Yes. My parents did the same thing.

"Remember who you are, so don’t always drop your guard."

That is a serious criticism. Such behavior could be dangerous.

"But I was in a private area and there should be a certain amount of privacy that one should expect."

That's probably true.

Considering all the history through time of the royal family this was mild. At least he was with other women.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I guess he now knows that the commercial about "what happens in 'Vegas" was just a commercial.

[napscoordinator]

After he killed some enemy combatants today which is great for Britain and the United States, I could care less what he does on his vacations. He should get all the fun out of his system now. I think that was a lot of the problems of his father and uncle....no fun before marriage so they wanted to have fun during marriage which is too late.

[Cicero]

Well, I don’t approve of such conduct for myself . . . , but I really like the guy, and I can’t really fault him on this one. Honest. Upright. Honorable. Reminds me of an Evelyn Waugh novel. Sow the wild oats, but keep your honor and your basic values.

Completely the opposite of the despicable Prince of Wales.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

Who hasn’t played strip billiards with young ladies you just met at a hotel bar in Vegas?

Seriously, he’s at the age when young soldiers are known to be a bit reckless and stupid. Let’s give him a break. At least he was cavorting with girls...
