Before Meghan Markle came into his life, Prince Harry was known for his ‘wild’ years as a young Royal.
Prince Harry, the youngest son of King Charles, has previously spoken about his “wild” younger days and the notorious naked photos of him that surfaced during a 2012 holiday in Las Vegas.
During his 20s, the Duke of Sussex spent some of his time partying, having romantic flings, and indulging in alcohol and drug-fuelled ‘all-nighters’. He led a carefree lifestyle before settling down to enjoy family life.
Now, a dominatrix is threatening to release unseen naked photos of Prince Harry from a Las Vegas party in 2012. Below are some of the Duke of Sussex’s wildest confessions and party moments.
Getting Naked in Vegas
In 2012, a young Prince Harry caused a worldwide scandal when pictures were published showing him standing naked in front of a nude woman, using his hands to cover himself. Another photo showed him leaving little to the imagination as he hugged a naked woman next to a pool table in a hotel room.
Some pictures of Prince Harry got everyone talking when someone at the party 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! ‘”.
Before this, Prince Harry had a wild time in Croatia where he jumped into a pool with his clothes on and danced without shoes at a party. He was seen having fun at the Veneranda nightclub, drinking and hanging out in the VIP area.

Dress up disaster
In 2005, he wore a costume with a swastika armband, and The Sun newspaper published a photo of him in the outfit with a drink and a cigarette. The headline said “Harry the Nazi”.

This happened before a big event to remember 60 years since Auschwitz was freed, which the Queen went to. Prince Harry’s house said sorry right away, telling everyone that he didn’t mean to make anyone upset.
Harry said, “I am very sorry if I caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone”. He also said, “It was a poor choice of costume and I apologise.” Harry was known for his party lifestyle, including mingling with big names like Kanye West at a 2007 tribute event for his mum, Princess Diana. He remained fond of the occasional late night, even after appearing to mellow a bit.

Staying up all night at the Royal Wedding
The night before Prince William married Kate Middleton on April 29, 2011, Harry reportedly stayed up till 3am. Mischievously, he nearly hurt himself jumping off a balcony while having pre-wedding drinks with Chelsy Davy and Pippa Middleton.
According to a Daily Mail source: “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 young stars, Harry was often snapped enjoying a sneaky ciggie. But in his autobiography ‘Spare’, he also confessed to dabbling in drugs. In his book, the Duke of Sussex admitted he had used cocaine, cannabis and magic mushrooms. He said these psychedelic substances helped him see “the truth” and he resorted to them during a tough period following his mum’s death and growing up under the media glare.
Long list of romantic relationships
Prince Harry’s romantic history is pretty interesting, as he’s been linked to stars like Mollie King from The Saturdays and celebrities such as Caroline Flack and Ellie Goulding. During a 2016 pool party in Berkshire, it was rumoured that the “Starry Eyed” singer and Harry were really into each other after being in touch for weeks.
An informant 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.”
They continued by saying: “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 was a host on Love Island, acknowledged she and Harry were an item in her biography, writing: “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, on the other hand, was a bit mysterious about her connection with Harry. She admitted that they once grabbed a drink together, but downplayed any idea of a love affair, remarking: “He’s very out of my league, come on.”
