Being a royal has its benefits – a public platform, designers clamouring over themselves to create clothes for you and people to wait on you hand and foot.
But being in the public eye also means public photographic evidence of every little thing that you do – including some of the most embarrassing moments of your youth.
Prince Harry is learning that the hard way at the moment, as photos from his bedroom at Eton have resurfaced, and they are slightly cringe.
The series of images taken at Eton in June 2003 are doing the rounds on social media – exposing Prince Harry’s teenage interests.
Let’s take a look at some of his interior décor choices…
Prince Harry's Eton Bedroom - Grazia
1 of 3The Halle Berry poster
In pride of place on the wall in the middle of an elephant patterned wall hanging are cut outs of Halle Berry, posing seductively in bikinis and a halter neck red dress that captures 90s Hollywood star style perfectly. Caprice also makes an appearance on the far left, and we can't believe these pictures were signed off by the royal family for public release. Halle Berry recognised herself immediately as the pictures starting spreading on social media – tweeting 'Ok #PrinceHarry, I see you! ud83eudd23'

In another photo, Harry cleans his army boots on his bed – hopefully his taste in bedding has improved over the years – bright purple and blue check definitely won't do at Nottingham Cottage. We dread to think what Prince Charles – whose picture is peering out from behind a poster of a mountain on the pin board behind – would think!
3 of 3A picture of Diana, taken by Mario Testino
A touching tribute to Harry's mother Diana sits on his desk - a black and white print of her taken by Mario Testino.
