This cartoon by Andy Davey from The Sun, relates to
the latest scandal involving Prince Harry,
who was photographed in the nude clutching his privates during a game of
strip pool in Las Vegas. The photos have since gone viral on the internet.
The Queen is on the phone to Harry while reading about
his 'Nude Photos Outrage' in a newspaper. She tells him: "Harry, when
I said send me some pictures of the Las Vegas strip ..." Prince Philip seems to be less concerned by
Harry's antics than his wife.
EXPLANATION
The cartoonist plays on the double meaning of the word 'strip'. If you strip, you take your clothes off (think striptease!). But a strip is also a long street in a city or town, where there are a lot of stores, restaurants, and hotels. Many of the largest hotel, casino and resort properties in the world are located on the Las Vegas Strip.

VOCABULARY
