Prince Harry's 'wild' years before Meghan from naked Vegas to Kanye West bash
Prince Harry was known for his 'wild' years as a young royal before he settled down with Meghan Markle.
The youngest son of King Charles has previously opened up about his "wild" youth and the infamous naked pictures of him that emerged during a holiday to Las Vegas in 2012. Spending much of his 20s partying, enjoying romances and dabbling in drugs and alcohol-fuelled 'all-nighters', the Duke of Sussex led a hedonistic lifestyle before he later settled down to enjoy family life.
As Prince Harry is now threatened by a dominatrix with plans to leak unseen naked photos of the young prince taken at a Las Vegas party in 2012, we have rounded some of the Duke of Sussex's wildest confessions and partying moments over the years...

In 2012 a young Prince Harry caused a global scandal as pictures published showed him standing naked in front of a nude woman, covering his modesty with his hands. Another showed him leaving little to the imagination as he hugged a naked woman next to a pool table in a hotel room.

The pictures caused a media frenzy as further details emerged, with one attendee of the party telling TMZ : "There was a pool table and he was playing air guitar with pool sticks. He was screaming out, 'Somebody get me a glove! I’m going to do a Michael Jackson impression!'"
The Las Vegas antics followed similar partying in Croatia just a year before, where Harry was seen throwing himself fully clothes into a pool and dancing barefoot at a rave. He was pictured at the Veneranda nightclub near the island of Hvar where he partied in VIP and was seen drinking.
Poor taste dress up
One of Harry's most widely condemned moments came in 2005 when Harry was pictured wearing a costume with a swastika armband. The Sun broke the news on January 14, 2005, along with a photo of Harry in the uniform holding a cigarette and a drink, under the headline "Harry the Nazi".
The incident - at a fancy dress birthday party for Olympic triple gold medallist Richard Meade - happened in the run-up to the national commemorations attended by the Queen to mark the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Clarence House quickly issued a statement saying the young prince was sorry if he had caused any offence. In the statement, Harry said he was "very sorry if I caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone". He added: "It was a poor choice of costume and I apologise."

Harry's partying has been famous over the years including enjoying nights out with stars like Kanye West, who he was pictured with at a 2007 memorial for his mother Princess Diana. Even after he appeared to 'calm down', the young royal still enjoyed the odd late night, with one occasion apparently coming hours before his brother's wedding.
On the evening before Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot on April 29, 2011, the royal was reportedly up to 3am, nearly injuring himself after leaping from a balcony while enjoying some pre-wedding drinks with Chelsy Davy and Pippa Middleton.
A source told the Daily Mail: "He flinched for just a moment before he stood up, rubbing his ankle. Then he looked up, smiled and waved to a roar of cheers before disappearing on to the lawn where there was a secret exit. People were laughing and joking that his fall could have seen him walking through Westminster Abbey the following morning with a broken leg. At one point it was thought he'd twisted his ankle."
Drugs and cigarettes
Harry like many young celebrities was often pictured enjoying a cheeky cigarette, but he also later admitted to taking drugs in his autobiography 'Spare'. The Duke of Sussex admitted in his memoir that he had taken cocaine, cannabis and magic mushrooms, claiming that psychedelic drugs allowed him to see "the truth" and that he turned to them during a difficult time after his mother's death and growing up in the spotlight.

Prince Harry's love life was also a wild ride, with the Duke of Sussex having dalliances with stars ranging from The Saturdays' Mollie King to Caroline Flack and Ellie Goulding.
At a pool party in Berkshire in 2016, the Starry Eyed singer and young Harry were said to have been "all over each other" after texting for weeks. A source told the Mail : "They’ve always got on very well, but things stepped up a gear recently. There was a complete ban on taking pictures at the polo party so that Harry and the other celebrities there could feel comfortable.

"Harry and Ellie only had eyes for each other all night - they spent a lot of time sitting together under blankets. They were seen having a kiss before Harry had to go because he was playing polo the next day. Ellie left about five minutes later."
Former Love Island host Caroline confirmed she dated Harry as she wrote in her biography: "Once the story got out, that was it. We had to stop seeing each other, I was no longer Caroline Flack, TV presenter, I was Caroline Flack, Prince Harry's bit of rough."
Mollie King was more coy on her links with the royal, admitting they had once gone out for a drink but downplaying the romance as she added: "He's very out of my league, come on."
