Murdoch says give Harry a break

Rupert Murdoch said Britain’s Prince Harry should be given a break, days after his Sun tabloid added to the 27-year-old’s embarrassment by printing pictures of him cavorting naked in Las Vegas, in defiance of appeals from Royal lawyers.

“Prince Harry. Give him a break. He may be on the public payroll one way or another, but the public loves him, even to enjoy Las Vegas,” the media mogul said on Twitter.

The Sun, part of Murdoch’s News Corp empire, broke ranks with the rest of Britain’s press by publishing the grainy pictures on Friday.
