Prince Harry has been photographed naked in a Las Vegas hotel room, with the pictures being confirmed as authentic by St James' Palace on Wednesday, although the spokesperson did not offer any other comment into the matter.

The 27-year-old bared it all during a game of strip billiards in his VIP Vegas suite at the MGM Grand Friday night, and TMZ has the pictures to prove it.

According to the site, Harry with his entourage intoe, partied it up in the hotel bar. They found some ladies who also didn't want the night to end and invited them up to the prince's VIP suite.

Things got wild once the group started playing strip pool, which quickly escalated into full-on nudity. 

Some of the parties captured his royalty in just his birthday suit. In one photo, a naked Harry covers his nether regions while it appears that a topless woman was standing behind him. 

In another photo, a naked Harry is hugging a woman who also appears to be completely nude. 

The women have yet to be identified. 

A rep for the Royal Family told TMZ, "We have no comment to make on the photos at this time."

Photographers also caught the prince partying in a fedora and red bathing trunks in a private VIP bungalow at the MGM Grand's Wet Republic as he hung out with friends and sipped Grey Goose and Cranberry. It was his second trip to Vegas after he did military training there in November 2011.

Sources say Harry looked to be having a good time on Saturday as well. He and a group of friends and bikini-clad girls stayed in his private area, drinking and playing with inflatable beach balls.

That evening, Harry hit the casino. He played craps at the Wynn resort until the wee hours of the following morning, sources said.

Sunday was a little more relaxed, with the prince and his guy friends keeping their distance from most of the women at the pool.

"He blew up a few inflatable beach balls and playfully threw them at a few women close by," an onlooker told People Magazine. "Most the women returned the favor, and most didn't realize who he was." 

Harry has also added to Ryan Lochte's 28th birthday celebration. After a brief introduction and a few drinks, the new friends raced each other in the pool of XS' Encore Beach Club on Monday night. 

Lochte enjoyed the friendly competition. "It was really fun swimming against Prince Harry. He's a great guy, and it was an huge honor to meet him!" he told E! News. "I was surprised that he challenged me actually. I didn't know if he had any skills in the pool, but I definitely wasn't going to take it easy on him!" 

"He was a great competitor but in the end it was Team USA all the way to the wall!" added Lochte. "Next time I'm in the UK it'd be fun to challenge him to something on his own turf ! Maybe Motocross? I heard he's pretty good but I'm a competitor so...Prince Harry whenever you're ready!"
