seemed like a good idea after a summer of demanding royal duties. some harmless pool partying and a swim-off with u.s. gold medal winner ryan lochte. but the prince may have some regrets after these naked photos turned up online, secretly taken late at night in harry's hotel suite. an embarrassing reminder that he can never escape the public eye. the palace has gone to the press complaints who argue the photos taken in harry's hotel room are an invasion of privacy. but the press has done everything but run them. this is the cover of "the sun." look closely. it's a recreation. for some the real issue has been the prince's security detail. were they responsible for making sure this didn't happen? not necessarily. >> it's not up to the protection officer, the bodyguard, to worry or be concerned about the private and particulati -- anti

you teakake a look, you see it' going to be coming across haiti and santa domingo. intense there has this comes across. that is not great news. it makes its way out across the atlantic and heads towards key westerly monday morning and parallels the western coast of florida heading toward the panhandle sometime late tuesday on into wednesday w >> mostly sunny skies on this thursday. we're in the low to mid 80's towards the afternoon.

vegas. >> how low to take a picture and put it out there. he's not a private figure. it's stupid of him to assume something like this will not go out. >> this is not a circle of trust he had there. >> and indiscretions in his family have cost the family members big time before. >> today's generation understands it. every politician, every royal, every athlete, this generation is used to seeing them in compromised positions. this is the world now. it's not a big deal. we're going to get used to seeing our heros in unheroic poses because we live in this world now. it's a different world. every politician, every royal is going to be seen. to young people it's a nonevent. they're used to seeing themselves in these positions. we've got to take these people off a pedestal and understand we're going to see everybody figuratively with their pants down. >> i want people -- >> i don't think to a 25-year-old they go and -- >> i don't think that's true. i think 25-year-olds want to

believe there are people around them who aspire to greatness. >> to them that's their world. they don't see it that way. they're like, oh, yeah, i saw joey in a picture like that. >> do you think harry deserve as reprimand from the queen? >> well, a reprimand from his military office no question. his conduct was unbecoming of an officer of his stature. grandma's going to get you. >> are you surprised the british press largely has not shown these photos? the aggressive british tab employed -- >> can you say reprimand from the queen again? >> sure, why? is there any reason why we're doing this? >> i heard this joke the other night don't blame him he's from a broken home and he's been on the public dole for the last, you know, how many years. >> let's move on. next topic, just don't do it? the lebron basketball shoes are going to retail for $313. >> teahat's a shame.

>> we all remember the $65 air jordans, how things change. a lot of people are outraged about this. donny, what about you? >> last week we were giving nike wonderful kudos because of the spot with the overweight boys. >> and encouraging the women during the olympics. >> free enterprise, blah, blah, blah, don't shoot the messenger, the kids have got to be the ones but nike does have a responsibility and lebron james does have an opportunity. you don't need that $300 shoe. you can't be both, the company of the people, the company of the underdog and empowerment and then being feed beiing into -- don't think they have to do it. >> are we putting our values and morals on nicky because they've so swept us up and into their advertising? their branding is we care about

young athletes but in reality their business is to make money. >> this shoe is going to appeal to the kids who think they're the next nba player and those kids are not the next nba player. >> that's not the problem. the problem is it is to inner city kids the ultimate status and what will those kids do for the $300 shoe. >> and that's not fair to parents to say, no, johnny, we can't afford $300. >> i disagree with that because a parent does say no. $313 you don't get that, you get that history book that we need. >> or 12 history books. >> it's on the parents but nike doesn't need to do that. >> okay, reverse retouching. what's happening in some magazines where they're using photo shops to make the models look heavier, bustier and more -- >> you know, i'm pissed. it would have cost me a lot less

money, a lot less time, i'd be sitting on "the view" instead of with these people. >> i'll call barbara walters. >> i've been saying for years the waif-like look of kate moss isn't -- >> i want women to understand nothing in the magazine is true. the bigger ones, the smaller ones, everybody gets retouched. >> magazines are a fantasy. >> we're safe here. school colors. did you hear about this story? a 5-year-old boy came to school with a university of michigan t-shirt, was forced to turn it inside out because there's a policy that says only oklahoma

school wear can be worn to school. anybody go to defend it? >> yes. there was an issue in 2005 about gang wearing. it was not about you have to support oklahoma. it's like we're not getting into if you wear this school, you're on this team or what not. there was an actual logic behind it. first amendment one thing, but i think the school was right in this instance. >> the school was right in its policy but wrong in the way they implemented it because he's a 5-year-old kid. that kid does not represent a gang. you have to use discretion. >> just send the kid home. you're right about that. >> this is where school uniforms become really smart. >> i love it. >> donny's right, they started with a good premise. almost like thinking like a terrorist. you think the gangs are thinking, oh, we have to go into oklahoma colors, it's going to be broken. but school uniforms make sense. it's another reason why. >> i'm wearing my first university of maryland shirt

from my nephew, i took him to college yesterday. >> and we will not make you turn your shirt inside out. >> star, donny and nancy, thanks. >> coming up, the things you may not know about hidden sugar in your diet. and what you must know for your college-bound kids coming up after this.

this morning on "today's five fact," what you might not know about sugar.

madeline fernstrom, nice to see you. the first fact is we are predisposed at a very early age to like sugar. >> we're born with a preference for a sweet taste. fruit is nature's original candy. a fruit was going to be ripe. for survival you'd go sweet taste, lots of nutrients really good for you. think about breast milk, a lot of milk sugar in that, good, baby will look that for survival. the problem now is so many added sugars and that's all in processed foods but the same center, the same taste buds we have perceive the same sweetness. we don't really discriminate, is it a source of sugar from nature or something that's going to be added. you look at this 4 pound bag of sugar. this is a 4 pound bag. 20 bags of this a year. >> it used to be a 5 pound bag.

>> the next sugar fact has to do with our brains. what is it? >> sugar is actually the preferred fuel for our brains. that may sound surprising. it's not chowing down a bunch of table sugar but we eat carb hydrates, proteins and fat, the central mechanisms use glucose. >> next it has to do with all of the sweeteners. so many different varieties out there. >> low-calorie sweeteners do promote weight loss. good scientific evidence, more than 90% says these can be a good support to weight loss. this starts with obese diabetics who couldn't use sugar. but then you can't have a triple bacon cheeseburger and balance

it off with a diet soda. you want to think about everything in moderation. it can support, not replace the effort. all of them are safe. use which ever or don't. even a t -- teaspoon of sugar only has 15 calories. >> is there one sweetener better than the others? >> the debate of molasses versus honey really isn't true. they're all about 15 calories per teaspoon. you can't be fooled by new, natural things like agave. >> a minute or two left. the next has to do with health issues. >> sugar does not cause diabetes. it's not like your pancreas can't take it. it's all the hidden sugars that we eat. the added sugars and sugars and

fat combined together make people gain weight. you don't have to gain that much weight, maybe ten pounds or so to be at risk for diabetes. it's the weight gain from all the extra sugar. >> final fact when it comes to sugar? >> sugar does not cause hyper activity. that's a medical condition. you know from your kids you're at a birthday party, kids are bouncing off the walls. sugar will raise your blood sugar. that's nature's way with being energized. but it's not causing hyper activity. keep blood sugar even. freights a fruits are the best way to have a little extra sugar and give you energy and not have a big boost of energy. >> madeline, thanks so much. >> you're welcome. >> coming up next, back to school cool. april fordable look for kids as
