The Royal family moved to block the publication of photographs depicting Prince Harry cavorting naked in a Las Vegas hotel room while playing strip billiards, on Wednesday night.

A St James’ Palace spokesman confirmed that it had contacted the Press Complaints Commission about the images, which were published on a US celebrity website and widely circulated online.

In the pictures, the 27-year-old Royal is seen wearing nothing but a watch and a distinctive necklace as he embraced a naked young woman who clutching a pool cue during a game of "strip billiards".



According to the palace, publication of the images, taken in a high rollers suite at the Wynn and Encore hotel complex costing up to 5,000 pounds a night, would be a breach of the prince’s privacy.



The spokesman declined to say whether or not the prince, who was on a private holiday with friends, paid for the suite himself or accepted the hotel’s hospitality, the Telegraph reported.

The holiday had raised serious questions about the Prince Harry’s judgment and ability to represent the Queen as a senior royal statesman.



It is understood that his protection officers were present in the hotel suite during Friday night’s party but the incident fuelled debate about whether or not they should be expected to step in unless his life is at risk.

The prince is expected to receive a dressing down from the military when he returns to his Army base in Wattisham in Suffolk within the coming days.

Military codes of conduct warn officers that the must maintain high standards of professionalism “both on and off operations” and experts said he would likely be censured.

According to a former instructor at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, the Prince is most likely to face an “interview without coffee” once he returns.

What happens in Vegas ... doesn't stay in Vegas. It is a marketing ploy, people. Really.



Oh sure, you've seen the commercials, the ones that say anything goes here. Even the straight-laced are seen smoking cheap cigars and playing slots before they've left the airport.



But Prince Harry is not alone. Everyone is fair game, especially when cameras are standard equipment on smartphones and Facebook is just a click away.



HARRY BUZZES ON TWITTER

Twitter users have been enjoying pictures of Britain's Prince Harry enjoying himself on holiday.

'SOBER' PRINCE HARRY

Prince Harry has worked hard to get rid of his playboy image of his early twenties. But just as he was beginning to appear convincing, his deeds got 'exposed'.



"In March, he completed his first royal solo tour overseas for the Diamond jubilee visiting Belize, the Bahamas, Jamaica and Brazil. In May, he travelled to Washington DC to accept a humanitarian award from Colin Powell, the former secretary of state, for his work honouring wounded servicemen and women," reported The Guardian Express.



"The Prince, a Captain in the Army Air Corps, is an Apache helicopter pilot and has made clear he wishes to serve in Afghanistan. He is a patron of ten charities," reported the newspaper.
