Britain’s royal family has said it will not lodge a complaint with the country’s press watchdog over the publication of photographs showing Prince Harry (27) cavorting naked in a Las Vegas hotel room.

Pictures of the prince, third in line to the British throne, surfaced in August on a US gossip website and were later published by the bestselling Sun tabloid – the only British title to run the photos.

Prince Harry’s office in St James’s Palace said the royals had decided not to pursue a formal complaint given the prince’s current deployment in Afghanistan. – (Reuters)
