The future King of England is not so innocent when it comes to nude scandals, much like his brother. In 2012, Prince Harry apparently lost a game of strip billiards in Las Vegas, and TMZ got its hands on photos of the aftermath. “Speaking of naked princes, does anyone remember the time Prince William got caught peeing on a fence? That’s just as bad, right?” one Twitter user wrote at the time. This is, indeed, something that happened.
In 2008, William, Prince of Wales, had been playing in a polo match when a paparazzo snapped some NSFW photos of him answering nature’s call, presumably during a break in gameplay. According to Perez Hilton, royal watchers were so eager to get a look that they crashed multiple websites where the pictures were published.

True, it was despicable on the photog’s part to sneak those shots of William, but royals should have learned by now that they’re never safe from those long lenses. He could have at least gone for cover instead of standing behind a wire fence, which was possibly one of the electric variety, per Celebitchy. Some of those who have snuck a peek at the ill-gained images have also critiqued William’s, er, technique, with one person tweeting, “He was holding it like a cigar. Weird.”
