Prince Harry made world headlines last week when naked pictures of him partying in Las Vegas were published on the internet. Now it has emerged there is video footage of the same night, which is about to be aired.
The 27-year-old prince was photographed naked after reportedly playing “strip billiards” with his friends and a group of girls in his private suite at the Wynn Hotel and Casino.

“There is video of Harry partying naked with women in the Las Vegas hotel room,” a source familiar with the situation told Radar Online.
“There have been some very quiet inquiries to see how much the video is worth.
“If the video goes public, this could be the biggest royal scandal ever.”
Harry has already felt the effects of the leaked images. His new girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, is said to have been “humiliated” by his wild partying and has dumped him.
The royal family is also trying to settle the situation, with Clarence House first releasing a statement confirming that it is indeed the prince in the photos, before unsuccessfully trying to stop the images running in UK publications.
But it seems this scandal is far from over. A Las Vegas newspaper reveals that the nude photos of the playboy prince are just the beginning and that “something gigantic” is yet to be revealed.
“The video has not been shopped around yet, its existence is being kept as discreet as possible,” the source said.
“With all the attention the photos got, the people with the video know it could be worth a fortune.”
The footage was shot by one of those partying with the prince. It is not known if the video was taken by the same person who took the photographs.

The question is what does the video actually show? According to one eyewitness, who was with the prince the night the naked photos were taken, drugs and alcohol were used by people in the hotel room.
“Things got pretty crazy in Prince Harry’s suite that night. Everyone was drinking and drugs were also being used by some people,” an eyewitness, who wished to remain anonymous, told Radar online.
“Some people were snorting cocaine.
“Some were already rolling on shrooms (hallucinogenic mushrooms) when they arrived at the party, and some were just high on weed. And that’s exactly why no-one there has come forward on the record… they don’t want to be implicated for any illegal activities.”
The witness said they did not see Prince Harry partake in any drug use and that they were not with him for the entire evening.
No doubt the Palace will do whatever it takes to ensure the video is never made public and although it could cause an enormous privacy lawsuit, it could also sell for a very high price.
