Nude photos of UK's Prince Harry pop up online

[August 22, 2012]  LONDON (AP) -- Photographs of a naked Prince Harry in a Las Vegas hotel room have popped up online.

Celebrity gossip site TMZ.com published two pictures of the 27-year-old royal cavorting with what they called a mystery woman in a VIP suite.

Harry appeared nude. It wasn't clear if the woman was naked.

TMZ said Prince Harry disrobed Friday during a game of strip billiards in his VIP suite. The pictures show a pool table but it wasn't clear whether there were others in the room.

The celebrity website said the prince and a large entourage had gone down to a hotel bar and invited some women up to his room.

Prince Harry's office confirmed Wednesday that the photos were of the prince but declined to make any further comment.
