Prince Harry Enjoys A Night Out Of The Town, Sans Groping Snapshots (19)

London, England (AHN) - Since scandalous pictures surfaced of Prince Harry groping a girl at a London nightclub from three years ago, the young royal had been lately keeping it low key. However, the prince finally reemerged and was spotted at a night out on the town over the weekend with his brother and his brother's girlfriend.
Before hitting the club scene, the brothers enjoyed a nice dinner at Automat, an American restaurant which opened last year. They were then joined by William's girlfriend, Kate Middletown, at the Cuckoo Club, where they spent six hours mingling and dancing inside.
The nightclub is described as "5,000 square feet of ostentatious rock chic design," according to one website.
David Schwimmer, former "Friends" star, was also said to have been a party guest at the club on Friday night.
Prince Harry and his older brother were seen leaving the posh London nightclub during the wee hours of the morning.
At around 3:00a.m., a Range Rover awaited the princes outside. According to the British Daily Mail, Kate was said to have been wearing a black dress and looking very "composed" as they left the club and called it a night.

Front line Iraq 'too dangerous' for Prince Harry (18)
Prince Harry faces the humiliation of being held back from frontline service in Iraq because his presence there could prove 'too dangerous' for both himself and his men.
Although discussions are underway to send soldiers from his Household Cavalry regiment to the war-torn region next May, senior officials have admitted they may be forced to stop the third-in-line-to-the-throne from going.
Their decision is likely to put the head-strong young prince on a collision course with his superiors. He has already threatened to quit the army if he is not sent to a war zone, saying he couldn't stomach being "wrapped up in cotton wool".
But senior Ministry of Defence sources have told the Mail this week that 21-year-old Harry may have no say in the matter.
"We always knew when Prince Harry joined us that deployment would be an issue. Both he and his brother have made clear they want to pursue their careers with us as fully as possible - which for any officer means serving alongside their men on the frontline," the source said.
"But we also have to accept that Harry's presence will attract attention which may, on occasions, increase the risk to his soldiers and himself. "If this happened a decision would be made about his deployment or continued presence."
Although the MoD announced earlier this week that they hope to scale down the number of troops in Iraq over the coming months, it is understood that a new deployment is being prepared for next Spring.
Enemy positions
Sources say it is almost certain to include the Ist Mechanised Brigade which will take with it large numbers of men from the Household Cavalry Armoured Regiment (HCR).
The prince, who as a Second Lieutenant in The Blues and Royals is known as Cornet Wales, is currently on a troop commander's course at the Armour Centre in Bovington, Dorset, which is due to finish in October.
It is training him to become an armoured reconnaissance troop leader, scouting enemy positions in the heat of battle using a small Scimitar tank.
As the eyes and ears of the army, it will be Harry's job to find out where the enemy is, in what strength, where the obstacles are and where there are ways through the terrain ahead.
In Iraq 'recce' units are used to patrol the 620-mile border with Iran through which weapons, insurgents, drugs and money are all regularly smuggled by heavily-armed bandits.
It is a harsh, desert region where temperatures rise to 120F in the summer, although much of the soldier's work takes place after dark, using sophisticated night vision equipment to locate criminal and terrorist activity.
It is a duty that the 'gung-ho' young prince is desperate to take on, says one close friend. "Harry himself has said quite publicly that there is no way he would 'sit on his arse back home' while his men are off fighting for their country," they said.
"He loves the army and is proving to be courageous officer. It would be a tragedy for him not to go."
But MoD sources warn there is a ground-swell of opinion among top brass that it will be impossible for Harry to go.
"The truth is that if there is even the slightest chance of Harry's deployment in Iraq leading to an upturn in activity among insurgents looking to bag themselves some headlines by killing a prince, then we would have no option but to seriously re-consider putting him on the ground," said one.
"We sympathise with his frustration but he must understand that it is not only himself that would be at risk.
"The final decision on whether to send him will rest with the commander in charge of operations at the time and Harry will be officially told of it around Christmas.
"It is likely we will try to dress it up by saying we have only decided to send part of Harry's squadron - or even a completely different one - but the truth is that the army has enough on its plate out there and Harry's presence may prove too much of a risk, however disappointed he will be."
An MoD spokesman said no decision had yet been made to deploy the Household Cavalry Armoured Regiment to Iraq next year.
"A decision on the units that will be deployed in the Spring of 2007 will not be made until much closer to the time," he said.

Now Kate joins Wills and Harry for 3am night on the town (16)
by RASHID RAZAQ Last updated at 12:30pm on 25th August 2006
Another night, another nightclub. Prince William and Prince Harry appeared, according to onlookers, slightly the worse for wear today after emerging in the wee small hours from one of London's most fashionable clubs.
The fact they weren't completely inebriated is testament perhaps to their experience and training. After all they had spent six hours - along with William's girlfriend Kate Middleton - in the Cuckoo Club in Mayfair.
By 3am, Harry, 21, was being guided into a waiting Range Rover, his elder brother following close behind. Ms Middleton, wearing a sleeveless, patterned black dress, remained remarkably composed.
Mind you, for Harry this was tantamount to an early night. A recent high-profile visit to a nightclub ended with him stealing a kiss from his close friend, TV presenter Natalie Pinkham, at 5am. Last night's royal outing began with dinner at Automat, an American brasserie which opened last year in Mayfair.
The trio then moved on to the Cuckoo Club, on the site of the former Stork Rooms.
The club is the latest venue to be sampled by the princes - Harry, according to one gossip column, having been told to steer clear of his favourite, Boujis in South Kensington. One website review described the Cuckoo Club as "5,000 square feet of ostentatious rock chic design". Last night the club also played host to Friends' star David Schwimmer.
This was the princes' first appearance in a nightclub since photographs of the pair were published in The Sun under the headline "The Booze Brothers".
It turned out those pictures - which also showed Harry groping Ms Pinkham - were taken three years ago and allegedly stolen from Ms Pinkham's flat. Police are investigating.
PRINCE OF REVELLERS (17) BOOZER Prince Harry looks ready to be crowned the Prince of Ales after another night on the town.
The 21-year-old needed help from his minders as he left Mayfair's Cuckoo Club at 3am yesterday.
Looking pale and disorientated, he was guided to a waiting Range Rover after six hours partying with brother William, 23, and his girlfriend, Kate Middleton, 24.
An onlooker said: "They were a bit hammered, Harry especially.
"He had to be led along by his jumper and his purple boxers were popping over the top of his trousers.
"The pair of them looked like they had really enjoyed the evening."

Prince William Reportedly Loses His Cool During A Tennis Match (15)
August 22, 2006 9:26 a.m. EST
Maira Oliveira - All Headline News Reporter London, England (BANG) - Just because you're part of the royal family doesn't mean you can stay calm and collected all the time-as such was the case with Prince William recently. Late Princess Diana's eldest son reportedly lost his temper during a friendly tennis match recently.
The usually well-mannered prince was playing tennis against a friend at a private estate near the royal Scottish home of Highgrove, when he flew into a rage and unleashed a torrent of foul language.
According to Britain's Daily Express newspaper, "William started cursing up a storm after stroke. Every other word was an expletive," said a source.
The witness suggested that rather than being a bad loser, William's John McEnroe-like outburst was all part of a clever plan to fool his opponent.
"It could have just served as a distraction to his opponent, which it seemed to be because William won the match," said a source."
William, the second in line to the throne, is currently training to be an army officer at Sandhurst Royal Military Academy and is a keen athlete who also enjoys playing polo in his spare time.

How Rupert lost his Babykins to Big Willie (14)
By LAURA COLLINS
22:36pm 19th August 2006
In intimate detail, a new book tells the compelling love story of Kate and Prince William - and reveals the identity of the suitor she left behind
It is never far from public eyes, as countless pictures testify, yet, remarkably, little is known about the romance between Prince William and Kate Middleton and the extent to which it could redefine the Monarchy.
For theirs is a relationship that bucks all precedent on both sides of the palace walls. In a family run like a business, William and Kate are privately considered the future of the Firm.
Now a new book offers an intriguing insight into the love affair - and how it is affecting the inner workings of the Royal Family.
Written by Robert Jobson, who broke the story that Charles was to marry Camilla, the book William's Princess chronicles a relationship that is far more crowded and complicated than a simple tale of boy meets girl.
It reveals, for the first time, the identity of the man who lost Kate to William when all three were students at St Andrews University.
And it charts the subtle but seismic changes at the heart of the Royal Family, revealing details of the meetings held and the plans made that will do away with hundreds of years of royal tradition.
Jobson has studied and analysed William and Kate's relationship and its place in the creation of a 21st Century monarchy. And the result is a compelling account of an institution in a state of flux, as William prepares to step more fully into the role for which he was born and the once unthinkable becomes possible: the marriage of a future King to a commoner...
Now 26, Rupert Finch was the good-looking law student who dated Kate before William won over her affections. In the intervening years he has remained as discreet and loyal to Kate as she has to her Royal partner.
Rupert, now a trainee solicitor, met Kate and William when all three were students at St Andrews. His relationship with Kate and the circumstances under which it came to an end is not a subject on which Finch will be drawn.
Speaking last night for the first time about the relationship, he said: "It's not something I'll ever talk about. It's between Kate and me and was a long time ago."
Finch was 22 when Kate arrived at St Andrews as a 19-year-old History of Art undergraduate. He was sporting and popular and a member of the University Cricket Squad. In 2002 he acted as tour manager for the team on a tour of South Africa - managing a squad which included Fergus Boyd, who would go on to share a student home with William and Kate.
Kate lived in St Salvador's, the same halls of residence as William, mixed but segregated into all-male and all-female floors. At that time William was following the sage advice of his father, who gave his eldest son a pep talk prior to his arrival.
Jobson says: "The ground rules were very simple: no drugs, no getting caught in compromising positions with girls, no kissing in public, no excessive drinking and no giving his bodyguards the slip."
Kate and Finch appear to have dated for less than a year but seemed well-suited. Kate was a sporty, outdoors type too and they shared a similar well-to-do upper middle-class background.
Home for Kate, the eldest of three siblings, is a substantial five-bedroom house in the village of Chapel Row, Berkshire, from where her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, run a successful mail-order party supplies business, Party Pieces.
Home for Finch, the eldest of two, is a sprawling farmhouse in Fakenham, Norfolk, set in rich land owned by Earl Spencer, from which Rupert's father John makes a healthy living and on which his mother Prudence organises equestrian outings. The book notes: "He was considered by some more Kate's 'speed' than a future King."
There is no suggestion in the book that William stole Kate from the affable Finch. His days at university were coming to an end as hers and William's were beginning. On graduating Finch secured a traineeship with solicitors, Mills & Reeve, a firm with offices in Birmingham, Cambridge, Norwich and London. He now works in the London office.
Unlike his father William will not, according to the book, be "bullied into marrying one of his own". He has fallen in love with a pretty, middle-class Home Counties girl - someone to whom he is not only drawn physically but who is his intellectual equal.
Kate's 'low maintenance' appeal
In stark contrast with his father's relationship with Diana, William has found in Kate a young woman close to him in age, interests and outlook. She is also, those near to the couple claim, prepared to accept that the life of the partner of a future King will often be one of enforced separation and compromise.
"Theirs," according to one of Jobson's sources, "is a truly modern 'marriage', a union in the 21st Century sense."
Unlike any other Royal couple in history they have openly lived together, first at St Andrews in a house full of friends and later in Chelsea. Prince Charles allows them to share a room when Kate visits his home at Highgrove in Gloucestershire. It is a degree of commitment that Charles was never able to offer the women in his life.
Friends describe Kate, a former pupil of Marlborough College, as "sporty... family-orientated and not easily influenced". She barely drinks and has never smoked. The worst criticism levelled at her is that her wholesome ways might be construed by some as dull.
It is obviously not a view shared by William who affectionately refers to her as his "adorable Kate", and has nicknamed her "Babykins". She, in turn, playfully calls him "Big Willie".
According to one girl once romantically linked to William, part of Kate's appeal is her "low maintenance". She explains: "A lot of the aristocratic girls he has been linked with are too much trouble for him. Kate does not have the baggage some of these titled girls do; problems like anorexia, drugs, drinking. He doesn't want all those problems."
Kate became a part of the Prince's social circle from the beginning of his student days. Like William she had taken a gap year and spent part of it in Chile, like William she was shy but popular. She skis, was an accomplished hockey and netball player at school and adores sailing.
Over the occasional drink or coffee and bacon butty they would chat with increasing candour and intimacy about their lives. Sometimes William would invite friends to his room for a drink.
Kate, we are told, was invariably among them although she was, at first, dating Rupert. In April 2002 Kate's influence on William became apparent as, on her suggestion, he changed courses from History of Art to Geography at a time when there were genuine fears that he would quit St Andrews.
Ironically the reason behind his "wobble", is given as his pining for the then 21-year-old Arabella Musgrave with whom he had enjoyed a brief romance before starting university.
Kate's importance in William's life was confirmed when, at the end of their first year, it transpired that she, Fergus Boyd and William would be sharing a student home in their second year. Quite when friendship evolved to romance may never be known, but during the time in which they shared a four-bedroom cottage on the Strathtyrum estate on the outskirts of St Andrews, Kate and William made a pact not to show any signs of physical intimacy in public.
On the night of their graduation ball, the book claims, they vowed to remain friends whether or not their romance lasted out in "the real world".
That it has, in spite of rocky patches, rumours of trial separations and Kate's alleged irritation when William occasionally falls out of nightclubs with his younger brother, is attributed to Kate's ability to "play it cool".
"In Kate," the book claims, "William has found a girl who can make sense of his conflicting character traits and the opposing demands of his life as a modern prince. She keeps him in touch with a lifestyle from which, by virtue of his HRH, he will always be one step removed."
William: A new voice at the Monarchy's top table
The extent to which the Royal Family is governed and run like a business is startling. The future of the family is governed and set by senior family members along with the aid of a clique of key confidants and advisers.
They meet twice a year and form the powerful group in the Monarchy's inner sanctum known simply as the Way Ahead Group - essentially the twice-yearly general meeting of Windsor plc.
It is not a process of which William has ever been a part, until now.
In what is presented in the book as "the most significant evidence yet of what those close to the Monarch already know: that the Queen has begun her retreat from public life", it is alleged that William sat in on his first Way Ahead Group meeting last Christmas.
The Group makes the decisions which have shaped the Royal Family for the past decade or so. Not even the Prime Minister is privy to the details of its discussions.
Established in the early Nineties by the then Lord Chamberlain, Lord Airlie, the Way Ahead Group is the Royal Family's version of sitting round the kitchen table and thrashing out differences of opinions and plans for the future.
William's inclusion in the influential Group, Jobson says, brings him ever closer to the moment when he must fulfil his ultimate duty.
Moreover, it is claimed that, with his own succession inevitably entering his thoughts, male primogeniture (the male heir's superiority) has been discussed by the Group and that both the Queen and William are in favour of doing away with the outmoded concept.
"There is only one thing that the heir to the throne must do," Jobson states, "only one thing likely to have any true impact on the future of the monarchy and the success or otherwise of his own reign, and that is find a suitable partner and breed. In this respect the heir to the throne is little more than a farmyard stud, albeit from a top bloodline, in a well-tailored Savile Row suit."
The truth about me and Harry - by his party girl (13)
By KATIE NICHOLL

Why the girl in the Prince Harry 'groping' pictures feels betrayed by some of her closest friends... and why Chelsy Davy has nothing to worry about
When Natalie Pinkham awoke, alone, in her new London flat on Tuesday morning, she had a very simple plan for the day to look forward to.
The television sports presenter, enjoying a short break from her hectic routine of filming, was going to do nothing more complicated than catch up with her friends in a Chelsea restaurant.
She does, admittedly, have a rather wide circle of companions, including stars of sport, television and, most famously, Prince Harry - and the bubbly brunette is well used to the glare of attention which often accompanies her attempts at a private life.
But nothing prepared her for the phone call she took from Clarence House that day as she innocently went about organising her day off. A panicked Royal aide was on the line. A tabloid newspaper had that morning printed a front-page photograph of her, he said. And there in full colour, for millions to see, was a drunken Harry groping her breasts.
Today The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Natalie has vowed to hunt down the person who stole the negatives from her private collection.
She believes it was one of two or three trusted friends who sold the photograph, and describes the theft as "the most massive betrayal" of her life.
"Those pictures were private and never left my possession. The actual photographs are still locked away in a box at home, but all my negatives have been stolen," she told a friend.
"I have no idea what other negatives were taken. I am absolutely devastated and plan to track down whoever has betrayed me, even if it takes months."
Miss Pinkham, a close friend of the Prince for seven years, reported the theft to the police, claiming that a handful of negatives were taken from her Fulham home just weeks ago when she was moving out.
Natalie believes it is unlikely that anyone from the removal company she hired is to blame and is now trying to come to terms with the inescapable suspicion that a member of her inner circle is responsible.
But last night the son of a leading New Zealand TV tycoon appeared to be a key figure in the sale of the pictures. He is Craig Harman, the 27-year-old son of Brent Harman, one of the most powerful men in Australian broadcasting.
The Mail on Sunday has been told that Craig was the source of a report in the New Zealand Herald on Sunday that the son of a well-known businessman received £20,000 from the Sun newspaper and is reported to have made a further £50,000 from subsequent syndication sales. His uncle Wayne is a senior executive on the newspaper.
Land Registry records show Craig bought Natalie's flat. Both have worked for the Sky network this year. Brent Harman was managing director of the TV company Flextech which provided content for several Sky TV channels.
Sources at the New Zealand newspaper, which did not name Craig Harman, said the man who sold the pictures claimed that they had been discarded inside a drawer of an old piece of furniture left behind by the previous owner.
Following inquiries by the Mail on Sunday, Mr Harman's webpage on the Ukscreen.com website, where he advertises his services as a freelance cameraman, was suddenly taken down at 11.30pm last night. He was not answering the door at the flat.
Clarence House said it would be making no comment on Mr Harman's alleged involvement.
But earlier Natalie told a friend: "Harry is understandably upset and we both want to know who has done this," she told the friend. "I thought only two people knew about the existence of those pictures: one of my most trusted friends and my brother. I know for a fact that neither of them was responsible.
"It makes me sick to think I have had someone in my house who could do this to me. So far I have narrowed it down to three possibles."
When the pictures appeared, the suggestion was that they had been taken recently. In fact they were taken three years ago at Natalie's 25th birthday party - before Harry met his South African-born girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
Natalie, 28, a politics graduate from Nottingham University, has been in touch with Chelsy to reassure her that she is no rival for Harry's affections.
She contacted Chelsy through the Prince just weeks ago after it was reported that she had demanded a goodnight kiss from Harry at five in the morning after a booze-fuelled night out together in London.
"Natalie has never met Chelsy, but she wanted Chelsy to know she had nothing to worry about," said the friend. "Natalie is loyal to Harry, but nothing more. She is in fact enjoying a passionate relationship of her own at the moment with a dashing young man from overseas."
'They enjoy one another's company'
I know Natalie Pinkham well. Ambitious, good fun, nicely spoken and fiercely protective of her friendship with the Prince, Natalie has always refused to discuss their friendship.
Privately she is known to regard him as a "normal bloke". She enjoys his company and thinks the Prince is great fun, but according to friends she prefers older men.
There have been all sorts of rumours, ranging from the claim that they shared a goodnight kiss to reports that Natalie was once the recipient of a feathered G-string from the Prince.
But her friends say that Natalie has never been in a room on her own with Prince Harry for more than two minutes and that she most certainly has not received lingerie from him.
Said the friend: "They enjoy one another's company and it's probably the case that when they first met, Harry had a bit of a crush on Natalie, but she never saw him in that way."
One senior Royal aide describes her as "a great girl, who is one of Harry's favourite drinking buddies" and there is no doubt about the warmth of the relationship or the esteem in which she appears to be held.
She has a hot line to Paddy Harveson, the Prince of Wales's Press spokesman, and enjoys a good relationship with ex-Welsh Guards officer Mark Dyer, a former member of Charles's staff who was responsible for mentoring Harry and William when they were younger.
It was at Dyer's house in July that Natalie last saw Harry and was reported to have demanded that now infamous - but mythical - goodnight kiss.
It is, no doubt, an unusual relationship. Natalie does not have an aristocratic background, coming from solid - if rather wealthy - middle-class stock. Her father is a property developer. She is also seven years older than Harry. Yet Natalie seems entirely relaxed about the friendship.
"She found it weird at first but she treats Harry like she does all her friends," said one of her circle. "She and Harry texted one another regularly when she was at Nottingham. She'd be making beans on toast or some thing when a text would suddenly come through, but she was always very discreet."
For all the gossip, Natalie and Harry rarely see one another because of her filming commitments. She has invested heavily in her career and when I spoke to her for an article for The Mail on Sunday's Live magazine in November, she insisted that work was the most important thing in her life and that she was tired of her "fame by association".
Her TV career started after graduation, with a brief spell working for Ready Steady Cook as a researcher. Since then, Natalie has forged a lucrative career as a sports presenter on satellite channels.
She is best known to viewers as the host of Sky TV's The Poker Channel, which broadcasts live coverage of games around the world. She recently presented ITV's football magazine show World Cuppa and is currently the host of a new sports show being made in Portugal.
In March, she was announced as the new 'face' of the European Poker Tour, a championship which Natalie covered live for Sky. Her job has resulted in her being linked to a string of famous sports stars but Natalie insists she is not 'a sports groupie'.
There was a long-term relationship with England rugby player Matt Dawson and a short-lived romance with cricketer Kevin Pietersen. She first met Harry at an England rugby game seven years ago.
"I'm always in the Press for the men I've dated but the truth is there have really only been two famous men in my life, and Matt wasn't famous when we met," she told me.
"I met him when he was 22. We just hit it off. He was a student sports teacher at a local school. I met him years before he played professionally. He was on a salary of £7,000 a year, living in a pokey little house.
'She's determined not to let this ruin her reputation'
"Then in 1996 he played for England. I remember how exciting it was. I'd be getting out of school uniform and sneaking off for rugby internationals with him while my friends were at school. He's done fantastically well.
"He was my first love which is why I'll always respect him. He was a very important part of my life. Matthew supported me through university and recognised I had to lead my own life.
"In the end we split because we met too young and just grew apart. I had a lot of learning to do."
But it was through Dawson that she met the Prince. Natalie said: "Matt introduced us and I looked after Harry with Clive Woodward's wife Jane while we were in the stands, not that he really needed looking after.
"We just chatted to him, and then Matthew and I became friends with him. I realised very quickly what a normal bloke he was. I was in my final year at university at this point, and our friendship has continued since then."
It has guaranteed constant media coverage but Natalie claims to hate the attention. "I never wanted to be a dolly bird. I find fame by association so cringeworthy. If I'm going to do well, I want it to be down to me," she said.
She has learnt to be cautious and confides in her parents John and Joy who still live in Yardley, Hastings, where she grew up with her older brother Sam, who is now a breakfast show DJ for Heart radio in Nottingham.
Natalie's mother Joy, 45, is a barrister and her father John, 62, is a specialist in Croatian property. She says her parents have inspired her to work hard and forge the career in television she always dreamed of.
Those who know Natalie say that even when she was at school, she was ambitious and had set her sights on making it right to the top.
Friends remember her as a popular girl and a keen athlete. She was 16 when she left Queenswood boarding school in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, to become a day girl at Rugby, the exclusive school in Warwickshire.
While Natalie has a reputation for being pictured out at nightclubs with Prince Harry, she insists that she is actually happiest when she's back at home in Hastings, taking a long cycle ride with her father or bodyboarding in the sea with her brother.
Natalie has told friends she is devastated about the publication of the pictures of her with Prince Harry and fears it could ruin her ambition to make it as a primetime sports presenter.
"She has worked so hard to get where she has, she's determined not to let this ruin her reputation," said a friend.
Royal sources last week insisted that the furore had not damaged Natalie's friendship with Harry.
"They are still good friends and drinking mates who will continue to see one another,' said a senior Royal aide.
"The Prince and his chief aides are in constant touch with Natalie while the police investigation takes place."
August 16, 2006-
FERGUS SHEPPARD
MEDIA CORRESPONDENT
BUCKINGHAM Palace yesterday clashed with the Sun after the tabloid newspaper ran pictures of Prince Harry groping a woman at a nightclub.
The Sun claimed the pictures, also featuring Prince William, were taken this summer, but royal officials insisted that they were three years old.
The prince's press secretary, Paddy Harverson, has demanded a correction from the Sun on the grounds that the pictures imply that 21-year-old Harry was cheating on his girlfriend, Chelsy Davy.
Prince Charles's aides point out that Harry's relationship with Ms Davy had not begun in September 2003, and they say the pictures were taken at another occasion.
"The key issue is that the Sun has got the story wrong, and we are asking them to correct that," Mr Harverson said.
The tabloid faced further questions as 28-year-old television presenter Natalie Pinkham, the woman pictured in a clinch with Prince Harry, claimed the photos may have been stolen from her and were used without her permission.
However, the Sun last night defended the story. A spokesman for the newspaper said: "We bought the photographs and negatives of our favourite playboy prince, which were taken in a popular London venue attended by members of the public.
"There is absolutely no question over their authenticity."
The timing of publication last night fuelled suspicions that the Sun was taking revenge on behalf of its sister paper, the News of the World, whose royal correspondent was suspended last week amid allegations that Prince Charles's staff had their mobile phones hacked.
Roy Greenslade, a former deputy editor of the Sun, said: "I think this was an incautious thing to do, given the current dispute.
"It sets the Sun and the palace at each other's throats. Surely it must have been discussed at the highest levels in the Sun and therefore has to be seen as a corporate decision."
Prince Harry was livid last night after stolen photographs showing him in an intimate clinch with a close female friend were published in a tabloid newspaper. The pictures, showing the third-in-line-to-the-throne kissing and groping the breast of pretty Natalie Pinkham, 28, were allegedly taken from the home of the television presenter and sold to The Sun.
Under the headline 'Dirty Harry', the article suggested that the 'playboy' prince's behaviour would have deeply upset his girlfriend Chelsy Davy, who is currently at university in South Africa.
He and Miss Pinkham have been romantically linked in the past and were photographed partying together until 5am earlier this year. The snapshots also show Harry's casually-dressed brother, William, quaffing cocktails and chatting animatedly to several attractive female revellers.
In another, Harry can be seen flinging his arm affectionately around his brother's neck and grinning wildly while dishevelled William stares goggle-eyed into the camera.
Enquiries yesterday revealed, however, that the photographs were not taken this summer at louche upper class nightclub, Boujis, as suggested by the newspaper.
Instead they were snapped in September 2003 at Chelsea nightspot Purple during a private party to celebrate Miss Pinkham's 26th birthday - six months before Harry even met Zimbabwean-born Miss Davy.
Harry, 21, is furious that he has been forced to reassure his distraught girlfriend that there is nothing to the story and has demanded the newspaper publish an apology.
It is a particularly sensitive issue for the Prince as in recent weeks he has been the subject of three tabloid 'kiss and tells'.
Looking red-eyed and texting furiously on her mobile phone, Chelsy abandoned her university lectures yesterday morning and returned to her luxury home in an exclusive suburb of Cape Town where she remained for the rest of the day.
Miss Pinkham, who describes herself as 'angry and distressed', confirmed to the Mail that the photographs in question were taken with her camera.
But she insisted that the original pictures had been kept 'under lock and key' at her London flat and had no idea how they had come into the newspaper's possession.
"The pictures are personal and were never intended for publication," her spokeswoman said.
"Natalie is both distressed and angry that somebody has somehow managed to make copies of her private photographs.
"She considers herself to be a friend of the Princes and they are aware that she would never do anything to embarrass them."
She has chosen not to report the matter to police to avoid further embarrasment to the princes. There is no suggestion, however, that The Sun printed the photographs knowing they may have been stolen or taken on Miss Pinkham's camera.
Although allegedly innocuous, the candid snapshots will indeed come as an embarrassment to the party-loving princes - particularly William - who rely on the discretion of friends on their regular, and decidedly high-octane, nights out.
Both boys are said to be fond of Miss Pinkham, who had dated several sports stars including England rugby player Matt Dawson and cricketer Kevin Pietersen, but Harry is said to have had a long-standing 'crush' on her.
Although close friends deny anything has ever happened between them, it is believed she was the recipient of a feathered thong the young royal bought from Selfridges at Christmas 2001.
And in June Miss Pinkham was heard asking Harry for a kiss as she left a London flat where they had been partying together until 5am.
A source close to Harry, who is currently training with The Household Cavalry in Bovington, Dorset, said yesterday: "He is pretty furious about the whole thing. Not just that these photographs appear to have been taken from Natalie's flat without her permission, but the suggestion that he was doing this behind Chelsy's back and may even have been unfaithful to her.
"The photographs were actually taken in September 2003 - more than six months before he even met Chelsy - and in a completely different nightclub.
"On one hand it's quite laughable that the photographs are accompanied by quotes from people supposed to have seen Harry and Natalie canoodling together when everything else in the story is wrong.
"It also doesn't take a genius to work out that from the haircuts that both he and his brother are sporting, that the pictures were taken well before they went to Sandhurst. For that matter Natalie is blonde in the pictures, but when she was pictured just a couple of months ago she was brunette.
"Harry is 100 per cent behind Natalie and believes that she had nothing to do with the sale of the pictures. But it's an absolute mystery as to how they came into the newspaper's possession and he is determined to find out.
"It is difficult for him and Chelsy to be apart for such long periods of time and things like this do not make it any easier."
A Clarence House spokesman last night confirmed the newspaper would be printing a correction. "The main issue for us is the inaccuracy. The pictures are three years out of date." he said.
A spokesman for The Sun confirmed said: "We bought the photographs and negatives of our favourite playboy Prince which were taken in a popular London venue attended by members of the public. There is absolutely no question over their authenticity."
Harry is no stranger to being the subject of compromising photographs. Pictures of him at a fancy-dress party wearing a Nazi uniform last year caused widespread anger and forced a public apology from the prince.
But the photo 'sting' also comes at a difficult time for News International, publishers of The Sun.
Clive Goodman, royal editor on its sister paper, the News of the World, is due to appear in court today charged with eight offences of unlawfully listening into messages left on the mobile phones of senior royal aides.

The Sun newspaper apologised to Princes William and Harry last night after it published three-year-old photographs of them in a nightclub, claiming they had been taken this summer. A female friend of Prince Harry, Natalie Pinkham, shown in one of the photographs being fondled by him, also demanded an apology, claiming the pictures were hers.
The paper splashed five pictures of the two princes, clearly having a good time with young women, across three pages yesterday, along with a cartoon and headlines calling them the Booze Brothers and captioning Harry as Dirty Harry, the Paw Prince and Squeezer Geezer.
The complaints followed a troubled week for Rupert Murdoch's News International during which Clive Goodman, the royal editor of the Sun's sister paper, the News of the World, was arrested by police on suspicion of hacking into the mobile phone messages of royal officials at Clarence House. Mr Goodman is due to appear in court today.
Senior editorial staff at the Sun said last night that the photographs were authentic but conceded they were old, contradicting an assertion in yesterday's paper that: "The fun-loving shots were taken this summer in trendy London nightclub Boujis - a favourite haunt of the princes."
The paper had suggested that Harry would be left "with a little explaining to do" to his girlfriend Chelsy Davy, who was not in the party. Across one of the pictures, the newspaper printed its traditional warning to rival tabloids not to lift its exclusive: "Warning: Our lawyers are watching".
Possibly they were not watching closely enough, though, as an exasperated Clarence House responded yesterday by saying that the pictures were old and predated the prince's relationship with his girlfriend.
The length of the princes' hair - rather longer than they would be allowed at Sandhurst military academy where both have trained in recent years - may also have given the game away.
Ms Pinkham, 28, was said yesterday to be "distressed and angry". A spokeswoman was quoted on her behalf by the Evening Standard as saying: "The original photographs are under lock and key at her home. (They) were taken at a private celebration of her birthday at the Purple Club in Chelsea in September 2003, which William and Harry attended.
"The pictures are personal and were never intended for publication. Natalie ... considers herself to be a friend of the princes and they are aware that she would never do anything to embarrass them."
Ms Pinkham, daughter of a Northamptonshire property developer, is hoping to make a career as a television presenter for ITV4 and has also dated the England rugby player Matt Dawson and cricketer Kevin Pietersen.
She was said by the newspaper last night to have withdrawn allegations that the pictures had been stolen.
Paddy Harverson, the princes' official spokesman, said that they did not intend to take further action, such as reporting the paper to the Press Complaints Commission.
He added: "There are privacy issues but the reality is they [the princes] do not have much."
In a statement the Sun attempted to mend fences with Harry, whom it described as "our favourite playboy prince" but added that the pictures had been taken in a popular London venue attended by members of the public. "There is absolutely no question over their authenticity," the paper said.

Navy Title for Army Princes (9)
By Vanessa Allen
PRINCES William and Harry were appointed to senior Navy ranks yesterday - despite still serving in the Army.
William, 24, was made Commodore-in-Chief of the Navy in Scotland and of submarines.
Harry, 21, was made Commodore-in-Chief of small ships and diving.
The appointments are ceremonial, naming the two princes as patrons of their commands.
But they were expected to raise smiles at Sandhurst - where Wills is studying - and Bovington, Dorset, where Harry is completing his tank commander course.
A military source told the Mirror: "The boys will probably get a bit of ribbing from the Army.
"It just goes to show it's still who you know, not what you know."
Camilla was made Commodore-in-Chief of Naval Medical Services.
Prince Andrew, dubbed "Air Miles Andy" for his frequent flights, was made Commodore-in-Chief for the Fleet Air Arm.

William and Harry were warned about phone tap (6)
By Andrew Pierce
Princes ignored advice from protection officers as suspicions grew that their mobiles were unsafe
PRINCE WILLIAM and Prince Harry defied advice from their royal protection officers to stop using their mobile telephones as suspicions grew that their messages were being intercepted.
The princes were given the same uncompromising message as senior Cabinet ministers that their mobile telephones were no longer secure, were susceptible to being bugged, and should be used only sparingly.
As The Times disclosed yesterday, the police inquiry has been widened from Clarence House to cover politicians such as Tessa Jowell, the Culture Secretary, after the News of World reported that she had accused her husband David Mills, a businessman facing fraud charges in Italy, of cashing in on her links to the Prime Minister.
Scotland Yard was called in last November to investigate complaints that three key officials at Clarence House, who liaise daily with the princes, had been targeted by hackers.
But in the ensuing months the princes continued to use their telephones, with some of their text messages to their girlfriends being reprinted in the News of the World.
The Prince of Wales is protected from eavesdropping operations. He — as well as the Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary and the Defence Secretary — has a secure telephone system. The Prince can be contacted on it in any part of the world from Clarence House. “It’s watertight,” a source said last night. The Duchess of Cornwall has the same security back-up.
The Prince, who has been kept informed of the police inquiry, is particularly sensitive about telephone security. In 1998 a newspaper published the “Camillagate” tape revealing an intimate conversation he had with Mrs Parker Bowles, as the Duchess was then.
Neither William nor Harry will have to give evidence in a court case because it was not their telephone voicemail systems that were allegedly downloaded. It was after two stories appeared in the News of the World about William, including details known to only three officials, that supicion grew that telephone calls or messages were being intercepted.
The principal players will be Paddy Harverson, the Clarence House communications secretary; Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, the former SAS officer who is private secretary to the princes and Helen Anstey, William’s diary secretary.
Clarence House said that it could make no comment on the police investigation.
The police inquiry, under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, was triggered by the complaint from the three officials to the royal protection officers. Breaches of the Act are punishable by up to two years in prison or unlimited fines.
The Anti-Terrorist Branch is leading the inquiry because of the security implications involving such senior members of the Royal Family and the Government.
The police are examining whether David Blunkett, the former Home Secretary, was targeted by eavesdroppers over his alleged affair with an estate agent last year, as reported in the press.
Sven-Göran Eriksson, the former England football head coach, stopped using his mobile telephone months ago because of fears that it was being hacked into.
Clive Goodman, 48, from Putney, South London, the royal editor of the News of the World, and Glenn Mulcaire, 35, a former Wimbledon footballer who runs a crisis management company, have been charged with offences of plotting to intercept communciatons.
They have been bailed to appear at Horseferry Road Magistrates’ Court next Wednesday. A 50-year-old man was released on bail on Wednesday.
All eyes on Prince William, the rising officer (5)
By Jenny Percival
Prince William's stature was immediately apparent yesterday at the Sovereign's Parade at Sandhurst.
As a six footer, the 24-year-old prince was put at the end of a company of cadets at the military academy.
Bearing an SA80 rifle, he marched first in slow time and then in quick time.
Prince William, who is expected to be commissioned as an officer in December, ignored the "eyes right" order because he was the marker helping to maintain a straight line. King Abdullah II of Jordan represented the Queen at the parade.
The king, accompanied by his wife, Queen Rania, took the salute and inspected the 484 recruits, including the sons of the king of Bahrain and the ruler of Dubai.
He told the cadets at the academy in Camberley, Surrey: "You will have changed out of all recognition while you have been here. Although we are trained in the profession of arms, never forget you are soldiers, not warriors. And that armed conflict is always the worst, and must be the very last, way to settle disputes."
The king was a cadet at Sandhurst 25 years ago.
He said the recruits were taking up one of the most demanding but rewarding of professions, the command of men and women who would look to them when things go wrong. "It is then that your training and preparation to be an officer will cut in," he said.

Stories which raised Prince William's suspicions (1)
Two News of the World stories about Prince William appear to have raised suspicions that Clarence House officials' voicemail messages may have been intercepted.
The first, a short piece about a knee injury Prince William suffered, apparently left the young royal puzzled about how an undisclosed meeting he had with a doctor to discuss the problem came to be featured in the article.
The story claimed William had to postpone a mountain rescue course because he had hurt the joint at a public event.
Published on November 6 last year under the by-line of the Sunday newspaper's royal editor Clive Goodman, it stated: "William pulled a tendon in his knee after last week's kids' kickabout with Premiership club Charlton Athletic.
"Now medics have put him on the sick list."
William, an officer cadet at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, has admitted in the past to suffering from a niggling knee injury.
The article went on to claim: "He has seen Prince Charles's personal doc and is now having physiotherapy at Cirencester hospital, near his country home Highgrove."
At the time Clarence House refused to comment on the story.
The second News of the World article was written a week later by Mr Goodman and claimed ITV's political editor Tom Bradby had lent William some broadcasting equipment.
The story appeared a week before Mr Bradby was due to have a meeting with William.
It said: "If ITN do a stocktake on their portable editing suites this week, they might notice they're one down.
"That's because their pin-up political editor Tom Bradby has lent it to close pal Prince William so he can edit together all his gap year videos and DVDs into one very posh home movie."
Speaking about the prince Mr Bradby said: "When he and I hooked up we both looked at each other and said, 'Well how on earth did that get out?"'
Prince William guessed his voicemail was being intercepted when details of a meeting got into the News of the World
A television reporter today described the moment he and Prince William realised that the mobile phone voicemail messages of Royal aides could have been hacked into.
Tom Bradby, ITV's political editor, claimed details of a meeting he had arranged with the Prince appeared in the News of the World before it had even taken place.
When he eventually met William and discussed the matter, the Prince also raised concerns about another story that had appeared about a meeting with his knee surgeon.
They concluded that one of the ways these details could have got out was if mobile phone voicemail messages had been intercepted, he said.
The News of the World's royal editor Clive Goodman is currently being questioned along with another man by police over alleged security breaches involving the mobile phones of royal officials.
Scotland Yard's Anti-Terrorist Branch investigation is also examining whether other high profile public figures or members of the Royal Household had their voicemail messages hacked into.
At least one Cabinet minister, but not the Prime Minister, is understood to have been among those affected along with high-profile celebrities, top footballers and other senior politicians.
Mr Bradby, a former ITV News royal correspondent, told the channel's lunchtime bulletin: "I was due to have a private meeting with William and I was pretty surprised to find that, not only details of the meeting but of what we were going to discuss pitched up in the News of the World the Sunday before.
"When he and I hooked up we both looked at each other and said, 'Well how on earth did that get out?' and we worked out that only he and I and two people incredibly close to him had actually known about it.
"Then we started discussing one or two other things that had happened recently. There had been a meeting he had had with a knee surgeon that again only he and his personal secretary and the knee surgeon had known about that had got into the News of the World.
"Basically, the answer we came up with was that it must be something like breaking into mobile answering machine messages.
"His chief of staff is a former SAS officer and his attitude was that 'if this is potentially happening to us, who on earth else could it be happening to?
"He passed his concerns on to the police, the police had a small investigation to begin with into the localised incident in Clarence House.
"What they discovered then alarmed them enough to hand it to IT specialists from the anti-terrorist police who looked much more broadly."
Clarence House is the official residence of Prince Charles, his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Princes William and Harry.

The News of the World's royal editor Clive Goodman will appear in court Wednesday in connection with a string of offences after being questioned over alleged mobile phone hacking.
Scotland Yard has confirmed that Goodman, 48, from Putney and 35-year-old Glenn Mulcaire from Sutton had been charged with nine offences: one count of conspiring to intercept voicemail messages and eight counts of intercepting voicemail messages between January and May this year.
The exact charges are: · On or before August 9 2006 within the jurisdiction of the corruption and crime commission intentionally, and without lawful authority, within the United Kingdom, you conspired with Clive Goodman/Glenn Mulcaire to intercept communications, namely by agreeing to access individuals' telephone voicemail messages, in the course of their transmission by means of a public telecommunication system, contrary to the Criminal Law Act 1977.
· On January 3 2006; February 24 2006; March 20 2006; April 28 2006; May 8 2006; May 15 2006; May 23 2006; May 30 2006 within the jurisdiction of the CCC intentionally, and without lawful authority, within the United Kingdom, intercepted a communication, namely by the access of individuals telephone voicemail, in the course of its transmission by means of a public telecommunication system, contrary to Section 1 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.
Goodman and Mulcaire were released on police bail to appear at Horseferry Road magistrates court next Wednesday.
The News of the World's Goodman was driven away from Charing Cross police station at 9.50pm last night.
Another 50-year-old man was arrested at the same time as Goodman and Mulcaire but has not been charged and was released on bail earlier yesterday, to return in September.
Scotland Yard launched an investigation after members of the Prince of Wales' household became suspicious that mobile phones may have been hacked into.
The anti-terrorist branch inquiry has now widened to look at whether celebrities and politicians have also had their mobiles hacked.
Story in full
THE Royal phone hacking inquiry was prompted by Prince William after he became alarmed that details of two private conversations had leaked out. Details about the prince's role came as the investigation widened to include senior politicians, celebrities and sports personalities, amid warnings about the "relatively simple" practice of phone hacking.
Clive Goodman, 48, the royal editor of the News of the World, was questioned by police yesterday over alleged security breaches involving the mobile phones of royal officials. He and two other men were arrested on Tuesday over claims that messages left on phones belonging to members of staff at Clarence House had been hacked into.
The inquiry is being handled by the anti-terrorist branch, and the three men were held under Section 1 of the 2000 Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, under which the maximum penalty is two years in jail.
Tom Bradby, ITV's political editor, told yesterday how details of a meeting he had arranged with Prince William appeared in the newspaper before it had taken place. When he eventually met William, the prince raised concerns over a story that had appeared last November about a meeting with his knee surgeon.
Mr Bradby said: "When he and I hooked up, we both looked at each other and said, 'Well, how on earth did that get out?'" They concluded that mobile phone voicemail messages could have been intercepted, he said.
Scotland Yard was contacted, triggering a seven-month investigation. Detectives are trying to trace other numbers acquired during the inquiry which are believed to belong to the likes of politicians, celebrities and footballers. One source said: "The investigation is taking us to all walks of public life."
Max Clifford, the public relations guru, said he believed his phone might have been monitored. He is to be interviewed.
James Herring, of Taylor Herring Communications, said he had been warning clients, such as Robbie Williams, Catherine Tate, Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, about security issues involving voicemail for years.
He said: "It's an open secret in Fleet Street that there are certain reporters who have made their currency in getting stories this way. Their standard method is to get into people's phone messages by working out the default PIN for their service provider.
"There have been situations where a celebrity will try to access voice messages and won't be able to because someone has gone into their phone and changed the PIN. It's been going on for a while, but some people obviously aren't wise to it."
Jack Wraith, the chairman of the Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum, said people should think twice about leaving "sensitive or potentially embarrassing" messages on voicemail.
Jeremy Marks, an electronics expert and director of the website spycatcheronline, said it was not difficult to intercept voicemail. "The default PIN code you are given by the manufacturer [to access voicemails] is the same for everyone and it's up to you to personalise it. If you don't, anyone can get into it."
He said hackers could also buy a cellular interceptor device for about £130,000 to listen in to a person retrieving messages.
• Last night two men, aged 48 and 35, were charged with one count of conspiring to intercept voicemail messages and eight counts of intercepting voicemail messages. They were released on bail and are due to appear at Horseferry Road Magistrates' Court next Wednesday.

EXCLUSIVE: WHEN HARRY MET THE CAD (7)
Prince snubs royal love rat at party
By Victoria Bone And Louise Male
1 August 2006
PRINCE Harry came face to face with royal love rat James Hewitt for the first time since he was a boy.
And the 21-year-old totally blanked his mum's former lover when he waltzed in at a posh party.
He refused to even look up from his chat with girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
Smug Hewitt swanned around introducing himself to other guests at the polo bash, but he also deliberately steered clear of Harry's table.
Onlookers said the pair barely glanced at each other all night.
One added: "They didn't speak, but Harry knew Hewitt was there. He was walking round talking to everyone, as Harry sat there smoking.
"Harry didn't look like he was having any fun at all."
The encounter happened at the Cartier International Polo Tournament - the same event where Princess Diana famously presented the cad with a cup at the height of their affair in 1994.
Harry, who has not seen Hewitt since he was a young boy, had looked glum throughout the after-party despite being on the winning team in the contest at Windsor, Berks.
But his mood blackened when the former army officer strolled through the door.
Harry and Chelsy, 21, sat having a heart-to-heart, ignoring calls from drunken friends to come and dance.
At one point, the prince slumped his head wearily on his girlfriend's shoulder.
He later refused to have his picture taken with an adoring fan at the do, organised by London nightclub China white.
Harry held her hand and told her: "I'm sorry, I just can't. I'm really sorry."
He and Chelsy eventually left the VIP enclosure at 11.40pm, long before the celebrations were over.
The prince may have been down in the dumps, but his raucous friends were having the time of their lives downing champagne and taking over the dance floor.
One boozed-up toff even cheekily whacked OC actress Mischa Barton on the bum, which didn't go too down well with the shocked actress.
An onlooker said: "Mischa didn't have a clue who he was. But he was drunk and didn't care what she thought."
Wills in Hewitt's regiment (8)
By DUNCAN LARCOMBE and ALEX PEAKE
The Sun
01 August 2006
PRINCE William has amazed Army pals by asking to join James Hewitt’s old regiment.
Wills, 24, is set to follow in the cad’s footsteps after putting the posh Life Guards at the top of his list of preferences.
Like all officer cadets at Sandhurst, he has been told to nominate four regiments he would like to join after he passes out in December.
Initially it was thought Officer Cadet Wales would join the Welsh or Irish Guards.
But to the astonishment of many mates he has now set his heart on the Life Guards.
The elite mounted regiment makes up the Household Cavalry with Prince Harry’s outfit the Blues and Royals. The units — mourning the loss of two Cavalry soldiers in Afghanistan yesterday — share barracks in Knightsbridge, London.
That means huge savings in security for the Princes.
A Sandhurst source said: “The decision is a surprise, particularly as the Life Guards was the regiment where his mother’s old flame James Hewitt famously served.”
Hewitt, 48, was a Captain when he met Princess Diana in the 1980s.
Wills will find out in November if he has been officially accepted for the regiment. But a Life Guards source said: “We have been told William will be joining.
“He is hardly likely to be turned down.”
