Prince Harry has spoken for the first time about his notorious romp in a Las Vegas hotel suite when photographs were published around the world of him nude , just weeks before he began his tour of duty in Afghanistan . The prince was photographed during a game of strip billiards in his hotel suite with friends and a group of women they had met . The prince said he had `` probably let myself down , I let my family down , I let other people down . '' `` But at the end of the day I was in a private area and there should be a certain amount of privacy that one should expect . `` Back home all my close friends rallied round me and were great . '' He added that it was `` probably a classic example of me you know probably being too much army and not enough prince . It 's a simple case of that . '' No action over naked Prince Harry photos , palace says . His deployment with 662 Squadron , 3 Regiment Army Air Corps allowed him to withdraw from the public eye , but speaking while stationed at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan he allowed his frustration with the media to show through . Harry received news that the Duchess of Cambridge , was expecting a baby while he was on his tour of duty and , from afar , he expressed sympathy at his sister-in-law 's treatment at the hands of the press . `` I ca n't wait to be an uncle . I think it 's very unfair that they were both forced to publicize it when they were , but that 's just the media for you . I just only hope that she and him , but mainly Catherine , hopefully that she gets the necessary protection to allow her as a mother-to-be to enjoy the privacy that that comes with . '' Harry 's own privacy is clearly a concern for the prince as well , and he made little attempt to hide it . Referring to the TV producer whom he was addressing , he said : `` I never wanted you guys to be out here , but there was an agreement made to invite you out on the deal that the media did n't speculate before my deployment . That 's the only reason you guys are out here . '' Back home the media glare will inevitably be brighter than it has been on him for the last four months . And the pressure will be back on the 28-year-old to settle down . `` If you find the right person and everything feels right , then it takes time , especially for myself and my brother . You ai n't ever going to find someone who 's going to jump into the position that it would hold . Simple as that . '' Harry said he now put his military role ahead of his royal duties . `` Once you are wearing the uniform you are part of the gang and you know , fine , I am the queen 's grandson and all that good stuff . `` I love representing her , but to be honest with you ... and as far as I see it ... and as far as William sees it as well -- our service towards our country in the military in whichever shape or form it takes -- will always come first . I know some people look at it thinking it 's all a big bluff -- and the only reason they are doing all this is to keep themselves out of public duties -- well to a certain extent yes . There is no reason for us to do public duties , because we are doing public service . '' Harry on Afghan mission : 'Take a life to save a life ' Life in the army is `` as normal as it 's going to get '' for Harry and he said relishes having the chance to be hang out and be treated as `` one of the guys . Asked if he was more comfortable being Captain Wales than Prince Harry , he answered : `` Definitely . I 've always been like that . My father 's always trying to remind me about who I am and stuff like that . `` But it 's very easy to forget about who I am when I am in the army . Everyone 's wearing the same uniform and doing the same kind of thing . '' Harry admitted that he was more at home in an aircraft cockpit than a classroom . `` I do n't know ... I am one of those people that during my flying course especially ... I would be fine at flying , probably should have done a lot more reading . But I was fine at flying . Then every now and then a written test would come up and I would be absolutely useless ... exams were always a nightmare . Anything like kicking a ball around and playing Playstation or flying , I do ... I genuinely find a bit easier than walking sometimes . `` My brother ( was ) probably exactly the same , my father flew , my uncles have flown all , all sorts of people have flown in my family , I would n't suggest that is where it comes from it is , it 's great fun . I was given the opportunity and I could n't say no to it . '' What do you think about Prince Harry 's comments ? Leave your comments below .
