Prince Harry has taken on American Olympian Ryan Lochte during a boozy 3am pool party in Las Vegas.
The young royal was in Sin City for a weekend break, having completed his first official overseas tour and fulfilled his role as an Olympic Ambassador.
“He was just wearing his swimming trunks and was getting quite a bit of attention from the ladies!”
The prince has previously enjoyed a weekend in the city during his helicopter training in America last year, and it's not the first time he's taking on an Olympian either.
The challenger in action with Usain Bolt earlier this year
After getting ready to race Harry bolted out of the blocks on a false start, but raced to the winner's tape and claimed victory.
Bolt, 25, immediately called for a rematch against the third-in-line to the throne who side-stepped the issue.
"He cheated," Bolt later explained. "I said we would have a rematch in London 2012 and Harry said 'I'm busy'."

The media has gone wild sharing some delightful puns such as "he really has put the crown jewels on display" and he "bares all," and is demanding some reaction from The Palace. But The Palace walls have seen it all before. Prince Harry is not the first royal playboy and he certainly won't be the last.
Funny how London Olympic theme was "Freedom." When in fact,they are ruled by a Queen that
threatens the news media if they print the naked pics of Prince Harry. So theat SHE will be less humiliated,etc. This being a minor of countless things she does from her thrown. Like refusing to
pay the Australian Aboriginals. For $ the Parliment ordered her pay out for land that is UNUSEABLE due to British test bombing sooo long ago. Which resulting in not being able to grow anything. Wanting the Brits to help pay for the electric bill for the palace. While thousands of brits around her are starving! Yeah. That's Freedom! NOT!

Leave the poor man alone! Don't you think he has enough of it when he's back at home in London? Obviously not, you have to follow him when he goes on holiday to try and have a good time without photographers around! Yes it's taxpayers money, but you have to think about the fact that HE is in the army, and he actually wants to do something with his young life, not sit around with his father and grandmother constantly. Talk about stalking much!
Lizz_Watkins: Leave the poor man alone! Don't you think he has
Whats all the fuss about? He's an all round young guy (Who just happens to be a Prince) having fun like any other young guy at his age (but but with more restraints on him than the rest of us due to being a royal) I feel sorry for him, as he's just trying to have as normal a life as possible be it a privalaged one.

"Unlimited access to taxpayers funds"? Dont be a plonker all your life, take a day off!
When he's not flying his Apache helecopter as an Army Air Corps pilot in which the training is more intense than any other, he's off doing Royal Duties which he's expected to perform, not to mention patronage visits and other formal duties. He works harder than any office worker in London and gets little time off. When he does get time off it's of a quality which you cannot afford and which you are blatantly jealous of. I for one would not want do do his multitude of jobs or workload and I am not jealous of him for it, he's very welcome to it thank you. If you took the time to look into what he does and his itinarary just for 1 month you would soon change your mind. His life is not his own usualy, only on rare occaisions. As for unlimited public funds? he gets paid an allowance from the Royal Purse for doing his duties as given and expected, he also draws Military pay as an Army Pilot, His Royal pay, pays for his home in London which he needs to do his Royal work i.e. entertaining guests of the Queen and high ranking politicians to Britain. So just for once engage your brain before putting your mouth in gear when you post idiotic comments just to get higher on the Huff user ladder!

He is Young, Free and Single why should he not enjoy himself like any other lad of his age, he is a great Ambassador for the country, he is right there with the youth of today, so leave him be. Enjoy yourself Harry!! :)
elizabethjl: He is Young, Free and Single why should he not
He is a wonderful chap, let him alone every once in a while, he had a party with friends, nothing wrong at all. God bless him, and his eldest brother William.
Luis_Wetzler: He is a wonderful chap, let him alone every once
In the USA you have at least millions of people, that are much better candidates to become laughing stocks than HRH Prince Harry of Wales. He is a wonderful person, I cannot say the same regarding most of your politicians including both candidates to the White House, and many others as well.
