The Sun Publishes Naked Prince Harry Photos

The Sun has become the first British newspaper to publish pictures of a naked Prince Harry in Las Vegas.

No other UK newspaper has published the images taken in his hotel suite which shows the the prince naked cavorting with a blond woman.

In an editorial The Sun claimed there was a "clear public interest" in publishing the photographs.

It said: "There are questions over the security during the Las Vegas holiday. Questions as to whether his position in the Army might be affected. Further, we believe Harry has compromised his own privacy."

St James's Place said the decision to publish the pictures was down to the editors.
