PRINCE Harry and the Duchess of Cambridge are among famous faces looking a little worse-for-wear on nights out during the noughties.

Kate Middleton, 36, was spotted jumping into a cab in 2007 after she had just left Mahiki in London’s Mayfair - a popular haunt with royals and A-list celebrities.

Celeb photographer Max Butterworth has now released a selection of his images which show the rich and famous leaving hotels, nightclubs and bars between 2005 and 2008.

Prince Harry was also papped outside the now-closed Boujis nightclub in Kensington after he failed to slip under the radar by exiting a side door.

On this particular occasion, the Prince was able to keep his cool after a number of run-ins with photographers.

In 2004, the then 20-year-old was involved in a scuffle with photographer Chris Uncle who claimed the royal had deliberately “lashed out” – but Clarence House said he was simply defending himself.

Meanwhile, a female civilian randomly stripped naked in front of a police officer outside Boujis in what Max described as the most “bizarre” incident in the three years. She was later arrested and thrown in the back of a police car.

Describing his photograph of Kate in 2007, Max told The Sun Online: “Kate had been in Mahiki for a few hours and jumped into a taxi at around 2 or 3am.

“I think she was telling the taxi driver where to go when I took the photograph and Prince Harry and Prince William got in their royal transport shortly after."

He also said that Posh and Becks would get “mobbed” wherever they went and the photograph of actor Rhys Ifans putting his fingers up was “typical behaviour” because he “didn’t like having his picture taken”.
