Prince Harry is one of the most love-able members of the royal family.
The 31-year-old prince recently found himself in the headlines internationally after revealing that he was getting married to the starlet, Meghan Markle. So, let’s take a look and see what else he has been hiding…
The Playboy Prince
The world was shocked when photos were released of Harry romping naked in a hot-tub in Vegas. However, he is no stranger to scandal.
His former bodyguard revealed that the prince invited four models over to streak through Buckingham Palace whilst the Queen was away.
Devoted Diana
Diana was reported to be highly depressed after separating from Prince Charles. As a result, she was often in distress.
When Harry saw a troubled Diana, he suffered screaming fits in his panic. In 1997, upon learning of his mother’s death, Harry’s world fell apart.
Naked Nightmare
At his father’s 50th birthday party, a drunken 14-year-old Prince Harry stripped naked and ran around in front of the guests.
One guest in attendance recalled, “Charles turned crimson”.
His Reign of Terror
As a young child, Harry was incredibly mischevious. Former police protection officer, Ken Wharfe said, “you never knew quite what to expect”.
While attending high school, Harry loved to party. It was at these parties that he experimented with drugs, even getting himself the nickname Hash Harry at school.
The Class A Mistake
Harry was just 16 years old when he dabbled with Class B drugs at illicit parties which he hosted at ‘Club H’, a drinking cellar he founded at his father’s home in Highgrove.
However, he was rustled when one of the house staff at Highgrove smelled cannabis and alerted Charles.
Who's The Daddy?
Many have speculated, since his birth, that Harry is not actually Prince Charles’ son.
It is alleged that Princess Diana had an affair with the famous polo player, James Hewitt. Nothing has ever been confirmed by the royal family but rumors are fueled by the striking resemblance between the pair.
How Royally Awkward
However, others insist Harry is Charles’s son and go as far as to say that he was conceived in error when Princess Diana and Prince Charles ‘let their hair down’ at a wild Christmas party.
Diana’s close friend, Lady Tryon said that Diana had considered it “the most romantic night of her life”.
Hash Harry
It was here that Harry garnered the reputation as a loose cannon. During a party in 1999, Harry was found highly intoxicated.
One of the catering staff found the “legless and speechless” prince and ensured he was put to bed. But it got sinister in 1999 when in a drunken state he threw cider bottles at a bunch of teenage girls on a Cornish holiday.
Eton Educated
Harry left the prestigious school, Eton with only two A-levels – a B in art and a D in geography – and then went on to Sandhurst, to join the army, fulfilling his ambition to become one of “Granny’s soldiers”.
The Royal Bust-Up
Harry began at the military academy as a simple ‘Officer Cadet Wales’ and was treated just like all the others.
One night, whilst Harry was drunk at the academy, another cadet attacked him. However, Harry was more than a match with one witness saying, “he picked the wrong man”.
Caught Red Handed
As part of the royal protocol, the princes are not permitted to have a Facebook account. But, this is Harry and Harry never sticks to the rules!
He created a Facebook account under the pseudonym of Spike Wells but had to shut the page down after the 2012 Las Vegas scandal.
The Affair With Older Woman
In 2006, it was revealed that Harry had shared a moment of passion with Catherine Davies, a mother-of-two who was 13 years his senior.
Davies sold her story to the press, likely causing the young Prince to blush a little. She told The Daily Mail how she wasn’t expecting the 21-year-old Prince to attempt to kiss her.
Heartbroken Harry
Harry dated the Zimbabwean beauty for several years on-and-off, and whilst there were many cheating rumors, Harry was truly heartbroken when it ended for good.
One friend said, “I saw him cry one night at a club. He was surrounded by beautiful girls – and the only one he wanted was Chelsy”.
Petrified Prince
In a charity campaign, to encourage the destabilization of the stigma surrounding AIDS, Prince Harry revealed his secrets to encourage people to do the same.
One of his secrets was that he is in fact incredibly shy, saying that he often feels “incredibly nervous” in front of large crowds.
Blond Bombshell
Harry’s past romances have all been with attractive blondes, his former bodyguard even went on to reveal that Harry bought a blonde wig for a girl he dated who didn’t have golden locks!
However, that appears to have changed with Meghan Markle…
My Little Spencer
Diana gave Harry the name “My little Spencer” because his red hair comes from her family.
Which further puts to bed rumors that Harry is an illegitimate child.
Start Them While They're Young
Harry was just seven years old when he started at Ludgrove boarding school in 1992.
A few days after he started at school, an intimate conversation between Princess Diana and her boyfriend James Gilbey hit the headlines where she reportedly said it was better for the boys to be away from the house, with the newspapers out of sight.
The Painted Prince
The former bodyguard has stated that Harry is not allowed to have a tattoo, so instead, he often wears temporary ones as an act of rebellion.
Where does he wear them, you ask? On his backside! Oh, Harry!
