William's mom Diana was hounded by paparazzi and she was being pursued by them when she met her tragic death. Now William's wife is being hounded by paparazzi who have taken photographs of her on private grounds 1/2 kilometer from the public road. If he has daughters are they also to be subjected to such hounding?
I agree and I am so disappointed that they are not leaving Catherine alone, even though William pleaded with the media when they got engaged. The two of them seem to be doing a wonderful job of giving a new, friendlier and more approachable image to the monarchy, why won't people just leave them alone? Life really can't be easy if you are being watched 24/7.
That's all very informative, so you can't judge a book by its cover, but we can judge a man by his paper.If you read the Star and I read the Irish Times, it is more likely than not that I have a superior intellect to you. But it is obviously not the case that every single Irish Times reader is more intelligent than every single Star reader.
There are various studies looking at IQ by social class (easily found on t'internet and there seems to be little dispute about the findings/general concept) - one showed that the highest social class had an average IQ of 115, compared with the overall average of 100 and an average of 90 in the lowest social class (the lack of symmetry caused by there being a greater chance of someone of higher intelligence being in the lowest social class (through lack of opportunity or choice) than of someone of lower intelligence being in the highest social class).
Tabloids are more likely to be read by lower social classes therefore tabloid readers are more likely to have a lower IQ. But again, these are all averages - you can't form a judgement about a single person based on what they read...
See (and I'm not having a go here) part of the problem is that you know all this about them and appear to be quite interested in them, like many thousands of others. If people weren't interested in stuff then the papers wouldn't bother with it.
Enda Kenny is in the public eye too and nobody seems to be interested in publishing a photo of him in his jocks even though we are all more or less interested in him in his official capacity.
Why?
It's about recognising someone's right to privacy and to not be photographed topless in a private place without their consent.
Because Ive got an Enda crush of course! I find it difficult to concentrate on the content of anything he says due to my fluttering heart at hearing his manly dulcet tones. I even get my husband to say things 'Enda Style' for a giggle. Its the whole sinister alpha male tone he uses. I often make up things that would sound funny 'Enda Style' - things like "Im going to break every bone in your body if you dont vote for me"
...... she made a Faustian pact when she decided to step into the limelight and became a Royal,in the real world you just cannot expect to turn media attention on and off to suit your purposes,it just doesn't work like that.
Funnily enough I thought the same. Hubby showed me the photos last week and I didn't recognise her at all, he asked me who it was and I'd no idea.
Was that him in Easons the other day?
I understand what you are saying but still do not get the whole knicker twisting that's going on,whether she likes it or not she made a Faustian pact when she decided to step into the limelight and became a Royal,in the real world you just cannot expect to turn media attention on and off to suit your purposes,it just doesn't work like that.
Just an observation. Isn't it a bit sad that we Irish people are so wrapped up in the antics of the British Royal family?
We have all the British High street stores, we watch British television. Are we all just west brits?

.. The issue here is about the right to privacy of individuals who are public figures ..
This is the same British media that published photos of Nicholas sarkozy's wife naked, right?
The indignation is sickening; the uk tabloids are the trail blazers of scumbag journalism.
