Turns out what happens in Vegas doesn't really stay in Vegas for Prince Harry. Royal officials confirmed Wednesday that photos of a nude man cavorting with women in a Las Vegas hotel room were indeed Prince Harry, who was on "private holiday." Harry, who turns 28 next month, just wrapped up a successful stint as an Olympic ambassador, but it seems the royal wild child side of him has surfaced again.

Prince Harry has gotten into several spots of bother through the years.

The Nazi uniform
He wore one to a costume party in 2005; the pictures were front page, the outrage vociferous. He wasn't thinking about how offensive this was to the royal family's status as heroes of World War II, and he had to make an abject apology. "Years and years of his family's hard work was simply thrown out by a drunken mistake," says Us Weekly's Jen Peros, who covers the royals.
Naked Vegas
Cellphone shots of Harry cavorting naked with women invited to his room for a game of strip pool were taken during a private trip to Sin City this past weekend. Peros says he showed a lack of judgment inviting women he just met to his room, since it's likely one of them took the pictures. "He's covering his private parts so obviously he knew someone was taking pictures and he shouldn't be doing this. Of course he can party, but when the third-in-line is getting naked with random girls in Vegas, he is going to face consequences."
Drunk and belligerent
Harry has been snapped several times falling out of nightclubs, fighting with photographers or jumping in pools. In 2004, he scuffled with paparazzi and got hit in the face with a camera. "He was 20, he didn't have as much experience with the media as he does now. It's 3 a.m., he's totally fed up (with the paps) and lashed out like anyone would. But people said he's crazy, that he tried to beat up a cameraman, and that his brother (Prince William) would never do something like this."
Pot smoking
In 2002, when he was 17, Harry admitted to smoking pot and drinking; his father sent him to rehab for a day. "It happened so long ago most people have forgotten and it only comes up when something like (Vegas) happens. But it was the first public embarrassment he had to deal with. It showed the world he's growing up (after his mother's death in 1997) but it's not going to be without drama."
Wedding high spirits
During last year's royal wedding of brother William and the former Kate Middleton, Harry attracted attention for his animated behavior during the ceremony. He peeked at the bride as she came down the aisle, smirked and whispered to William, who kept his eyes straight ahead. "Everyone talked about it, but it was a cute little thing that Harry did that shows his personality. People noticed him more and thought, 'hey, he's even better-looking than William!"
