Who Knew Prince Harry Was Such an Adorable Drunk?

This is not the first time that Prince Harry makes it on the first pages of all the newspapers but never before was he in such an embarrassing situation. You see, this happens not only because he was caught in one of his, ahem, less than good days but also because he tried to shake a photographer for catching him in the act when so.

To sum up a long story: these pics were taken on Sunday, in the wee hours of morning, as Harry was leaving a British pub, where he had more than a couple of drinks together with Natalie Pinkham (who, by the way, is NOT his long-time fianc�). As Miss Natalie was leaving the scene through the back door, Harry wanted to make the whole thing less conspicuous and exited through the front door, only to be greeted there by a crowd of paparazzi.

Usually, Harry is very camera-friendly, but this was definitely not his night. As one photographer, namely Nirach Tanner, tried to snap him, he went on a rampage and tried to tear the camera out of his hands. So far, so good. The only thing that went wrong was the fact that (as reported in the media) Harry had one too many 'Crack Babies' and his feet were less than steady. That, to put it mildly.

Tanner had this to say about the altercation that ended with Harry in the gutter: 'He was very drunk. I took a few shots and he just came for me. He knows me because I've taken his pictures before and I have never had a problem with him. He screamed at me to "f**k off" then grabbed me and tried to shove me over. He had his hands around my collar and back. It was an assault.'

When Harry realized that the photographer was faster than him, he made it to the car that was waiting for him nearby and that's when he really made a royal ass of himself: because he turned too sharply, his legs got all confused as to what to do next and he fell 'into the gutter'. 'His bodyguard had to help him up and direct him into the car', an eyewitness explains.

As one might have expected, the royal family tried to downplay the whole incident by issuing a press statement that says that neither was Harry drunk nor did he assault the journalist. Coming in complete contradiction with the photos taken than night, the statement says that he only fell because he tripped and that, as is always the case, this is just another example of the evil ways employed by the media to make more money off something that, obviously, is not even there in the first place.

These being said, below are the photos. If you do not agree with the rest of the world in that Harry looks drunk, you will have to agree that he does have a pretty elaborate fashion sense. The way that beautiful red scarf goes with his pinkish face says it all...
