Young guy, pilot, money, privileged and has opportunity to travel and live large. I'd think less of him if he didn't get up to these kind of antics.
It's not like he was doing this in the hotel reception: he was in a private suite; his only mistake here was not thinking that one of the invited guests might have a camera phone; maybe that's why he wanted them all naked!
Usual objections from the "green eyed monster" and "old fart" brigades in the press. Frankly, his dad has behaved in a much more reprehensible fashion: i.e. adultery! The above brigades seem to overlook that!

the guy's hardly gone out and done something that alot of us wouldn't have wanted to get up to if in the same position! He's not meant to be a role model!!! "when I grow up I want to be a prince!"

He has to be a role model or at least give the appearance of it. Royals who behave like newly rich chavs will only help the republican cause. It was privilege but no power/responsibility which incited the French revolution of 1789.

I think it's quite ridiculous and unfair in a world where the idea of monarchy or divine right is basically dead in practice for us to be able to expect a prince to be the perfect ideal of one (very subjective in itself). I don't think it's fair at all to expect him to basically waste his life refraining from having what he considers to be an enjoyable private life just for our sake. We don't think it reasonable any more that our lives are any of their business, and likewise his private life is none of our concern.
He does seem to take his 'responsibility seriously, though. This is something that should never have been known about by the general public (until some c*ck took and released a photo), but I do reckon it will boost rather than negatively affect his popularity. The vast majority of people will probably just crack a smile when they read about this or see it on tv. I certainly did!

What a fuss about nothing of any importance. If he wants to have a bit of a wild time at his age,why not anyway. It was not going to affect anyone else in particular and it was also not intended for general publication either.
I would expect that most of those whingeing about it are either a bit green eyed about his royal connections or they are just wanting to show us all how squeaky clean they are when it comes to their own behaviour.
No one else was hurt in any way and I reckon that many of those "throwing stones" are not that innocent anyway.
Les!

This the problem now a days,you almost cannot go anywhere without a bloody camera phone/vidcam being pointed at you,if you are someone like Harry.I'm not the Royals bigest fan by a long way,but for **** sake.The guy is having a pvt party and playing strip poker,and some moron with a cam decides to video it and nows its all over the news.

He's a young guy/soldier having fun on holiday in Vegas. 
I don't care if he's a member of the royal family or not, leave him alone, leave them all alone and let them have some privacy to do what they want in private!

As I saw said in one newspaper: "He's 27, he's single, and he's a soldier"
People complain and moan about how boring Charles is
Those same people then complain about how Harry is behaving recklessly
I suspect there are just a lot of jealous people on here who wish they were able to be 27, single and in Vegas with fit birds.
