Clarence House has confirmed naked photos of Britain’s Prince Harry are genuine, the Daily Mail has reported.
Images of the 27-year-old royal partying naked with at least one nude woman were published on gossip website TMZ this morning.

The indecent images were snapped in Harry’s Las Vegas hotel suite, reportedly during a game of “strip billiards” that took place last Friday.
In one image, Harry is cupping his genitals while a seemingly nude woman hides behind him.
In another, he is embracing a naked woman from behind, again completely nude.
UK media initially hesitated to report the images fearing they were cleverly retouched fakes, but the Daily Mail broke the story in Britain this evening, confirming that the images were real.
“Prince Harry’s spokesman at Clarence House has confirmed to MailOnline this morning that the pictures are genuine, but said they would not be commenting on them,” the newspaper’s website reported.

The images are likely to enrage Harry’s grandmother Queen Elizabeth, who pride dignity and respectability above all else.
