Queen issues warning over paparazzi photos

The Queen has issued a strong warning to newspapers not to publish paparazzi pictures of the Royal Family.

Her lawyers have reminded papers of their obligations under the industry's own code of practice amid concern about invasions of privacy.

Photographers will be monitored on public roads around the Sandringham estate in Norfolk this Christmas.

Prince Charles' spokesman said the Royal Family had a right to privacy during "everyday private activities".

The Prince of Wales' spokesman Paddy Harverson said: "Members of the Royal Family feel they have a right to privacy when they are going about everyday, private activities.

"They recognise there is a public interest in them and what they do, but they do not think this extends to photographing the private activities of them and their friends."

Damn those paparrazi!

Are they running around snapping photos of the Queen taking a dump again????

"Photographs taken on crown estates at Sandringham and Balmoral in the Scottish Highlands, in past years have included “snatched” shots of the Queen twisting a shot pheasant’s neck and battering another bird with a walking stick. Prince Edward has been photographed appearing to lash out at a dog with his walking stick.

Animal protection groups have used the images in their campaigns against field sports. "
