It’s enough to make you wish we’d kept the monarchy: In a sign of solidarity with Prince Harry, who got busted in some photos playing strip billiards, members of the British military have been posting nude pictures of themselves online.
“Support Prince Harry with a Naked Salute,” a Facebook group with more than 12,000 members to date, has seen hundreds of male and female soldiers uploading photos with their “grenades” carefully obscured by everything from sugar tins to the British flag. The page has proven so popular, administrators have opened it up to anyone who wants to show support for Harry.
“I started the group after my mate, who is about to deploy, sent me a picture of himself saluting naked as a joke after hearing about Prince Harry,” said page founder Jordan Wylie, 29. “What started as a jokey conversation in the pub has turned into a huge worldwide thing with people from all kinds of countries getting involved. Thousands of members of the military and ex-military are involved, sending us pictures from Afghanistan and everything. Even my dad who was in the Royal Marines is on there, and there’s also a 75-year-old man who is posing with his medals.” Wylie said members support the Crown Prince because he’s “just one of the lads.”
With more revealing pictures of the carrot-top royal rumored to be surfacing, expect more patriotic Brits to put their privates on parade. Careful with those guns, lads!
How about we take this to the next level?

Hey guys, you’re supposed to be soldiers! I can imagine al-Qaeda using this as target practice. Might as well bend over and spread your cheeks for the camera.

HRH Prince Harry is one of the coolest guys on this planet!
Prince Harry could have been at nude dude Ram Ranch and had a better night with over 90 naked young cowboys … where the saying is: “Ya Sure Are Hung!” What happens at Ram Ranch – actually stays at Ram Ranch! http://www.RamRanch.com

Well, Harry is a bit of a jerk, and I certainly would prefer William, but even jerks can start something interesting. Now, if only they could fight wars naked, maybe like bonobo monkeys we could make more love and settle things with less hostility, death and destruction and live more peacefully. Getting religion out of the way would help a lot. Certainly more nakedness, more sex and more love would make things more interesting, more peaceful and a lot more fun. Some of those middle eastern men look pretty hot and certainly need some release from all their frustrations.

I am glad the Prince decided to have a game of strip billiards. People are far too hung up about nudity and showing their bodies off, especially famous people.
Besides, what is a royal family without a scandal?

Well, there goes that theory about penis envy!

I am so proud to be English. Harry is a laddie and a half. I think he would have been perfectly happy growing up in a military family moving from posting to posting. Hanging out with his mates, then joining the Royal Marines and getting loads of tattoos. William is the most mature, perhaps, but Harry is especially beloved. Both are living proof that royalty benefits from mixing a little commoner blood to reenergise the bloodline and improve the looks of the lot.
The closest America came to something as wonderful as this was Steve Ford sneaking young ladies into the White House for a pyjama party one on one when his father was president. He was in his late teens or early 20s. As I recall he had the whole blond-surfer-dude thing going.

This is cool and all, but just makes me think how the US armed forces are so fantastically hot even sexy Brits seem dull in comparison.

@scamandrios: Soldiers of all stripes are hot!

Frederick, I agree 100%, but cannot help but be bias in favor of the US military considering they are the only nation’s brave lads I have frequently seen naked in person.
