According to the Daily Beast, Prince Harry has reportedly closed down a Facebook page under the name 'Spike Wells' after the media storm surrounding nude pictures of him in Las Vegas.
Spike supposedly had 400 friends, including Arthur Landon, who posted a picture of Harry passed out in the sand on Richard Branson's Necker Island, where he recently vacationed, the Beast wrote.
Landon’s Facebook page, previously accessible to the public, is no longer.
The UK's Daily Mail reported Harry's private secretary, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, who is heading an inquiry into the Prince’s trip to Las Vegas had advised the Prince to delete the account.
