One Direction in Prince Harry nod

One Direction at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards

One Direction appeared to pay tribute to Britain's Prince Harry's Las Vegas antics yesterday (07.10.12).

The 'Live While We're Young' hitmakers took to the stage at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards at London's Wembley Arena with a life-size cardboard cut-out of the 28-year-old royal - who was pictured naked playing a game of strip billiards in the US city in August - who was holding a glass in his hand.

The stunt seemed to be a nod towards the prince's controversial adventures in Vegas but the boy band - who won three accolades at the ceremony for Best British Music Act, Best British Single for 'One Thing' and Best British Album with 'Up All Night' - didn't mention the cut-out while on stage.

A source at the event told The Sun newspaper: 'They were getting a bit giddy and clearly worship Harry's antics in Vegas.'

But One Direction - who are made up of Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik - are no strangers to Vegas themselves.

Earlier this year, the 'What Makes You Beautiful' hitmakers were reportedly keen to gamble in the US city - which is nicknamed Sin City - while visiting America, but security at casinos knew who they were and didn't allow them to bet as the legal drinking and gambling age in the US is 21.
