Back in 2012, a youthful Prince Harry stirred up international controversy as photos surfaced showing him stark naked alongside an equally unclothed woman, his dignity barely preserved with his hands.
Another snap revealed him hugging a naked female near a pool table within a hotel room, leaving very little to the imagination.
The party antics of Prince Harry in Las Vegas made waves when someone at the bash told TMZ, “There was a pool table and he was playing air guitar with pool sticks. He was screaming out, ‘Somebody get me a glove! I’m going to do a Michael Jackson impression! ‘”.
This wild behaviour wasn’t new for Harry, as just a year earlier, he had been seen jumping into a pool fully clothed and dancing without shoes at a Croatian rave.
He was spotted enjoying himself at the Veneranda nightclub on the island of Hvar, where he hung out in the VIP section and enjoyed some drinks.
One of the most controversial moments involving Prince Harry occurred in 2005 when he wore a costume featuring a swastika armband.
The Sun revealed this shocking story on January 14, 2005, with a photo of Harry dressed up, cigarette and drink in hand, under the headline “Harry the Nazi”.
The incident took place at a costume birthday party for Olympic champion Richard Meade, right before the Queen attended the 60th-anniversary commemorations of Auschwitz’s liberation.
Clarence House responded quickly, stating that Prince Harry regretted any offence caused.
In his own words, Harry said, “I am very sorry if I caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone”. He admitted, “It was a poor choice of costume and I apologise.”

Prince Harry’s party lifestyle is well known, including glamorous nights out with celebs like rapper Kanye West. He was captured in a picture with Kanye at a 2007 tribute for his mum Princess Diana.
After settling down a bit, the Prince has been known to enjoy a late night now and then, once almost hurting himself hours before his brother’s wedding.
The evening before Prince William married Princess Kate on April 29, 2011, reports say Harry was up until 3am. During pre-wedding merriment he leapt from a balcony, almost injuring himself.
Chelsy Davy and Pippa Middleton were his drinking buddies that night.
A source shared with Daily Mail: “He flinched for just a moment before he stood up, rubbing his ankle. Then he looked up, smiled and waved to a roar of cheers before disappearing on to the lawn where there was a secret exit.
“People were laughing and joking that his fall could have seen him walking through Westminster Abbey the following morning with a broken leg. At one point it was thought he’d twisted his ankle.”
Like many famous young people, Harry has been photographed having the odd smoke. In his autobiography ‘Spare’, he also admitted to experimenting with drugs.
Prince Harry confessed to using cocaine, marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms. He said these mind-altering substances helped him see “the truth” and he relied on them during tough times after his mother passed away and dealing with growing up famous.
Prince Harry sure had some fun times before he got married!
He hung out with famous ladies like Mollie King from The Saturdays, Caroline Flack, and Ellie Goulding.
At a cool pool party in 2016, people said that Harry and the singer Ellie Goulding were really into each other. They had been sending texts for a while.
A person told the Mail: “They’ve always got on very well, but things stepped up a gear recently. There was a complete ban on taking pictures at the polo party so that Harry and the other celebrities there could feel comfortable.”
“Harry and Ellie only had eyes for each other all night – they spent a lot of time sitting together under blankets. They were seen having a kiss before Harry had to go because he was playing polo the next day. Ellie left about five minutes later.”
Caroline Flack, who used to host Love Island, wrote in her book that she and Harry stopped seeing each other after everyone found out.
She said: “Once the story got out, that was it. We had to stop seeing each other, I was no longer Caroline Flack, TV presenter, I was Caroline Flack, Prince Harry’s bit of rough.”
Mollie King was a bit shy about her time with Harry. She said they once went for a drink but didn’t make a big deal about it.
She joked: “He’s very out of my league, come on.”
