Not satisfied with just having one of their staffers merely pose as a naked Prince Harry, as they did for today's paper, the U.K.'s Sun tabloid decided to go with the real-life princely flesh on their Friday frontpage, which, as they point out themselves you've probably "already seen on the Internet."
The only place where news outlets could possibly get in real trouble for printing those naked pictures of Prince Harry is in the U.K., where royal officials have warned the press not to print them. Not to be deterred, those papers are printing stories based on pictures which they can't run.

As the British investigation into corruption at Rupert Murdoch's News International reveals a "culture of illegal payments" at the Sun, news that Scotland Yard loaned one-time Sun editor Rebekah Brooks a police horse has the rest of the U.K. press crowing about an inappropriate connection with the cops.
On Sunday, News International launched its shiny new Sunday edition on The Sun (which owner Rupert Murdoch boasted sold 3.2 million copies), but the company still faces serious accusations of bribery that could hurt the company as much as its phone hacking scandal.
"Having a winning paper is the best answer to our critics," Rupert Murdoch wrote in an email to the embattled staff of The Sun as he announced a Sunday edition of the tabloid where five editors were arrested last week.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation set up a division to investigate wrongdoing in its tabloids, and wrongdoing it reportedly found.
