Prince Harry Gets Naked As A Prank

In London, England: It has been claimed that Prince Harry likes to have some fun in his military barracks by exposing himself. The young royal reportedly likes to parade the corridors of his army barracks in the nude and get a good chuckle out of his fellow soldiers. The 22-year-old recently graduated from Sandhurst Military Training Academy and has since moved to new barracks, where his naked antics have earned him the nickname "Dirty Harry." According to Britain's Daily Star newspaper, a source said, "The boys think it's hilarious to see Harry walking up and down the corridor. He's very confident around the barracks." The young prince, who has joined the Household Cavalry's Blues and Royals, has reportedly made the habit of walking to the shower block in the Wellington Barracks wearing nothing but a very small towel. Harry is said to be very proud of his body and not at all shy when it comes to stripping off in the shower block. Sources at the barracks say his fellow officers jokingly wolf whistle, as he walks down the corridor. Last week, it was revealed Harry is set to begin battle training, fueling speculation he could be sent to war. Earlier this year, Harry allegedly threatened to leave the army if he was banned from fighting on the front line. It has also been reported that if he is sent to battle, bodyguards would accompany him.

Good for him. He should try it in public; maybe it would be more acceptable.

Yes, none of our royal family are exactly lookers are they? It's just a non-story really. Normal behaviour for a guy his age.

I blame the inbreeding that typically goes on in royal bloodlines.

The queen isn't ugly, just old. However Charles is a dog! Not to be rude since I am not English, but my my that face.... Incest in the Windsor family? Well I suppose back in the days of knights and sword fights that was common.

That's funny... but not all that different from what goes on in any male college dorm. The only reason it's made "notable" is because he's prince. It's interesting how the media or people in general take something normal and everyday and make it "exceptional" because someone famous or well known does it. Celebrity adoptions are an example of this. I'm sure there are dozens, maybe even hundreds of everday people who adopt children from foreign countries every year. But because A. Jolie and Madonna do it... it's exceptional. This celebrity obsession is nonsense.

I agree with you completely. It is stupid that everything a celebrity does is hyped up since they are only human like everyone else. To me the story is funny, not really because of the celebrity value, but challenging the idea that the Windsor family is uptigh and snotty. Some people have the idea that royalty behaves a certain way.... especially the Windsors. This story shows that Harry is certainly like any other college kid.
