Prince Harry says ‘at least I wasn’t running down the strip’ in naked Las Vegas photos

Prince Harry has addressed the infamous naked pictures taken during a Las Vegas holiday, telling his podcast host "at least I wasn't running down the strip".

Back in 2012 the Prince sparked a media frenzy after the saucy snaps were published on a US website.

In one picture Harry was shown stood in front of a nude woman, covering his modesty with his hands.

Another showed him leaving little to the imagination as he bear-hugged a naked woman from behind next to a pool table in a hotel room.

The royal appeared on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepherd podcast, and during the wide-ranging discussion he spoke about the notorious snaps.

Dax said: “In full disclosure, I am the most ill-informed person on the royal family, at least in my circle. You’re the only one I ever knew.

“Simply because, you were in those awesome nude photos in Vegas. I literally said to myself, ‘this guy’s a party!’”

Prince Harry replied: “You’re constantly looking for other people to balance out your own behaviour, right?”

Dax agreed: “Exactly. Truthfully, it’s relatable. On top of that, I was like this motherf***** has got a good body, you were in tremendous shape.”

Harry said: “Now it’s getting weird” before saying the incident was "a few weeks before I went to Afghanistan".

Dax said: “This is the other reason I knew you. I was there in ’07 and the big hubbub was that you were going to be arriving. I remember thinking, ‘oh wow, they send princes into battle?’. That was not what I thought happened.”

Harry answered: “So much for keeping it quiet. At least I wasn’t running down the Strip, stripping, or more naked, at least.”

Dax added: “You could have been one of the dancing boys of Afghanistan, do you know about that?”

During the discussion Harry also spoke of his life as a royal, which he compared to living in a zoo and being on The Truman Show.

He also said he wants to "break the cycle" of the "pain and suffering" of his upbringing with his own children.
