Back when Prince Charles was a boy, there were never those obnoxious photographers snooping around capturing his every move. Okay, perhaps the paparazzi were a problem in the 1950s and 1960s, but at least they had some decency back then. Not today, and not with Prince Williams. Because here he is, taking a break from a polo match to relieve himself, and sharing with the world what only Kate Middleton should be seeing. The NSFW photos below.

They Go To Venus.
TWO PRINCES Between balding and thinning, the British prefer the latter. A recent survey found that the majority of Britons would rather Prince William take over the monarchy than his father. What would Freud say? [Reuters]
Prince Harry's drunk face is hotter than his brother's. They should upgrade him from spare to heir.
Prince William’s drunken shenanigans remind us that underneath the crown, millions of pounds and dozens of royal estates, he’s really just a regular guy who can’t hold his liquor or onto his hair.
P.S. For our money, Prince Harry’s drunk-face is hotter.
When Princess died ten years ago, there was a general outcry against the paparazzi for chasing after the pictures the public itself was so desperate for.
Ten years later, photographers are still being blamed for car accidents caused by drug use. But some things have changed since Princess Diana died. While William still stands to inherit the throne, Harry has emerged as the new hot prince.
Let’s be honest, the past ten years have not been good to William. His face has begun to look more equine and he has inherited the Windsor comb over.
More analysis, after the jump.
"Concert for Diana features music fit for a princess!" proclaims the NYYDN.
Assuming a princess would enjoy a six and a half hour marathon of Fergie's warbling voice (fortunately muted, thanks to technical difficulties) a recycled version of Diddy's tribute to B.I.G., the musical stylings of a still-drunk Lily Allen and heartfelt performances of Kanye West's "Gold Digger" and Pharrell's "Drop It Like It's Hot."
Not to mention a completely literal interpretation of 50 Cent's lyrics, "We gonna party like it's your birthday."
Rest in peace, D.

Hey, William and Harry? Did you know you were famous? Like, even people on this side of the Atlantic know who you are? Tumultuous news, we know. Thank god Matt Lauer is there to walk you through it.
You know Matt Lauer, don't you? He's the serious journalist who would never stoop so low as to conduct a cheap celebrity interview. Except here. Oh, and in the above.
"Frankly it is ludicrous," says an unnamed BBC industry observer in London's Evening Standard, "that a major interview with the sons of the Princess of Wales is not conducted by a proper journalist." That's the reaction that's been repeated by many industry onlookers (or so we're led to believe) over the BBC's decision to choose Radio 1's 25-year-old Fearne Cotton (a self-described "mouthy little girl") instead of, say, Huw Edwards.
The interview, of course, comes during the lead up to the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana's death — leading some in the news biz to think this type of interview would be conducted as a piece of serious journalism instead of, say, a celebrity puff piece.
"In contrast," reports the paper, "the American TV network NBC selected its veteran broadcaster Matt Lauer, 49, to interview the princes." Ah yes, Matt Lauer, who's never done a celebrity shtick piece in his life.
We're living in a world where everything has its price. And apparently, the going rate for an interview with Princes William and Harry (a.k.a. "the heir and the spare") is $2.5 million nowadays.
At least, that's what it was worth to the execs over at NBC, who shelled out for the rights to an exclusive chat. Oh, but just to keep things legit, they're technically not paying for the interview per se, but rather, the right to sponsor some bullshit Diana tribute concert with lots of British has-beens and a few almost-but-nots!
NBC News doesn't pay for news, but NBC does. Matt Lauer just interviewed British Princes William and Harry (the heir and the spare) after NBC paid $2.5 million for the "rights" to the Diana tribute concert on July 1.
But, of course, that's not all.
