This only thing that has changed in the way I see Harry is his blatant lack of judgment. It was always a problem before, but now it is been magnified by this episode. I still see him as a good natured person because of how he comes across in interviews and when I watch videos of him interacting with others on official engagements. The fact that he partied naked does not make me see him as "disgusting" or even misogynist if that is what you are implying. Partying nude may not be for me, but I don't judge those who do it. I really don't see how getting naked at a party equals being a bad person.
I don't know the girls who partied with him. No one on this forum does. But because one sold the photos to the media, and another or two more are trying to sell their story to the media, tells me they are opportunists who took advantage of Harry's severe lack of judgment - his only "crime" if you will, in this situation. Those girls could've partied with the Prince and left it alone as something to reflect on when they get older. After all, who can say they partied with a world famous Prince?
But unfortunately, those girls intended to violate Harry's trust - a poor choice of his, of course - and now he's been hurt and embarrassed in front of the whole world. I believe Harry intended for some harmless fun in Vegas, and those girls destroyed it by being opportunists.
Once again, "Poor Harry." Prince Harry certainly seems to be quite charming. But, in truth he was just as much an opportunist as the girls with whom he partied. He used them and they used him. It was an equal opportunity evening of SELFISH indulgence. Maybe those girls felt "hurt and embarrassed" afterwards, as you think Harry must feel, and that made them willing to sell those pictures.
This behavior is a pattern with Prince Harry. Which begs the question, "Has this pattern developed because he gets away with it?" Prince Harry has a clean up crew and a PR team who comes behind his every mess up. I am sure they berate him for getting caught (never for what he did), tell him to lay low, trot him out in his uniform, and then send him to visit some underprivileged children.
So, why stop messing up? Why change? He seems "good natured," he's privileged, and pampered. He gets away with it because everyone gives him a pass and says Poor Harry, he was the victim. But, unfortunately, on this earth, our actions define who we are, and the company we keep tells an awful lot about us.
