Sort of mild compared to chopping off heads.

I think it's funny they're trying to block the pics from being published in the papers. In the internet age. Very effective.
I also like how all the other papers have headlines that say, "Sun Defies Royal Family", lol. There are about 7 different reasons why.

Whoa Harry!!! He has always had a wild streak in him.
I've always thought Prince Harry kind of looked like Beavis.
While I agree, Harry should have known better (so should his security team-they should have requested people handover their cell phones until the end of the festivities), but it seems to me kind of a shame that an incident like this may make people forget about all the good this kid has done. He's devoted to wounded British Troops and raising money for them, he's raised money for kids in Africa and I admire his dedication to want to serve with his "mates" in combat.
The kid is 27 years old. He's young and is prone to make poor judgement (as has been his behavior in the past) but I really don't think it's the end of the world. Sure, he should have used his big head (not his little head) when he was in Vegas, but it also shows he's prone to making mistakes. It will all pass the next time Fergie embezzles some money from someone or gets caught with huge gambling debts

I say give the guy a break. His protection officers dropped the ball on this one.
I think it's a riot!

Thank you to whoever merged this thread. I am sorry but I forgot it was here.
Another scary issue arises from this. Is it acceptable to publish pics that were taken inside a private space? It is one thing if they were cavorting in public but a private hotel room?
I hope this is a lesson to the young man. Use high class hookers who are paid keep their yaps shut.
Anytime. pwem. And yeah, it's legal. Think Marion Barry or Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee.
.
The thing is, courts have been unsuccessful in being able to get all copies of these types of things removed from the internet because it's a worldwide information service. Once it's out there, it will be copied and downloaded and redistributed on the side. Think Subpeona's autopsy photo.
Basically, courts tend to only want to hear cases that they can rule on and then enforce those rulings. The best they can do with something like this is pursue and then make an example of the person who took and then shared the photos. That would only happen if Harry pressed charges. Think his family wants anymore publicity from this? I'm thinking no.
.
The naked photos are funny. He is having fun. I love Harry and think everyone is stuck up over here. They are claiming he's a lost little lamb or now the black sheep of the family. I think the UK press and public should back off and leave my Prince alone, he's just having fun! He's got a fit body too
Harry is the hottest ginger out there! I agree, Cindy T!
TMZ probably STILL has a boner from getting these pics.
I agree with you and Cindy. He is hot stuff. Very handsome. And I agree with Spooky, give the kid a break. He was in a private hotel room, he's a single 27 year old guy on vacation from his military duty in Vegas. It's not like you can even see his weenie anyway.
I have heard that they had been confiscating cell phones from people, so I do wonder how this person got one in. I mean yes, it's just a harmless nudie pic, but what if a person had been able to sneak in a gun instead of a cell phone?
I wonder if Harry will accept?

Good grief. The man is a soldier, a captain. I'm afraid his military superiors will be all over him. *sigh*
Everyone must die but not everyone has lived
I have a thing for Harry so I was thrilled he had a momentary lapse of judgement.
He was in a private room. I would be more concerned about security.
BTW....Prince Hot Ginge if you Google your name and this thread pops up. Call me!! I will leave my camera at home.
I'm aware of a big deal brewing across the pond about topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge circulating around several European publications and the (ultimately successful) attempts on the part of the Palace to put the kibbush on them.
Now, I think Duchess Kate seems like a charming and lovely young woman and if she doesn't want her bits and pieces published in a magazine then they shouldn't be. I don't blame her and the rest of the Royals for being upset!
That said, though, I'd always thought that topless sunbathing was the norm in Europe. Isn't that the case? So should the sight of a pair of royal boobies really that astounding?
PS Speaking of European things, I just found out that the doughy little things one eats with clotted cream and jam are pronounced "scawns" and not "scones". Now I feel really stupid for having pronounced them as scones and I'm afraid that the waitress at the Shelbourne in Dublin went into the kitchen and laughed at me when I asked her what kind of scones they had that day

I think it's a joke the royals want the original photos and have them taken down from the webpage. Hello, this is the internet? Those photos have been right-clicked and saved every where by now! They won't go away! LOL
While she's a public figure, like all of us, she has her private moments. These pictures were totally inappropriate and I'm glad she's taking legal action.
Everyone must die but not everyone has lived
She was on a private estate, those pictures should have never been released. It isn't like Harry's situation, someone used a cell phone that was at his party. Kate deserved privacy.
Oh, I absolutely agree with you Duchessmary and jacksmum! I guess what I basically wanted to ask is doesn't everyone in Europe sunbathe topless? Oh geez, THAT really came out wrong! I'm not trying to make it sound like I think Europe is a giant nude orgy or anything, I was just under the impression that topless sunbathing is no big deal.
Regardless, of course, I think it's rotten to take pictures of someone who doesn't know she's being photographed.
The royal protest is a token effort I think. However, to me, those pix reveal Kate to be one buffed woman. Yes she's slim, but appears to be very toned with broad shoulders and good biceps.
She does deserve her privacy. I have a very deep crush on the woman but I don't know if it was the angle they were filmed or what but I didn't think they looked that great.
Maybe I built up too much of an image which is the adult theater of my mind. Better they were left to my perversion.

No, not everybody sunbathes topless - and not everybody should.
There are probably places even here where it is not advisable - near churches and schools, or where there is a perfectly good designated nudist beach right next door, or in deeply Catholic Bavaria (except for the English Garden in Munich), or certain parts of Spain or Italy (where you do not wear shorts if you want to go exploring the old cathedrals).
But in Germany at least, you're probably not going to get arrested unless you are on the public square. Even then, most likely you'll just be asked to put some clothes on.
We don't all have loose morals all of the time.
I dunno, I thought that was one magnificent rack. I always assumed her princesses were way smaller than that.
(And I realize that anything I say after THAT comment is not going to be taken very seriously, so I won't bother mentioning that it was inappropriate to publish those shots, let alone take them)
Aww, but I liked the name of my thread better!
I think it's a shame too, that Kate and William's privacy was violated. I mean the few pics I saw she was with him. I didn't see anyone else around. It's not like when they snapped Fergie topless and having her toes sucked on by a man who was not her husband. Kate and Will were having some private time together.
Did these French photogs learn nothing from William's mother's death? That is what I really find bothersome. After what happened to Will's Mom, you would think the press, especially the French press since she died in France, would be a lot more respectful.

I have a running joke with a friend. My Mom lives with my husband and me and she goes to Florida in the winter. And when she does my friend always says to me "Yay, you're Mom's going to Florida, now you and your hubby can have Naked Saturdays." Sadly, no rag mag would pay any money to have topless pics of my husband or me.
Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils.
Shame on all these paparazzi that don't respect boundaries. I'm so glad she won the lawsuit.
I am just disgusted by all this. The photographers are getting more brazen and completely overrunning people's private boundaries.
As someone here just said if she was walking down Sloane Street topless then she is fair game but this was a PRIVATE domain. I can't imagine how she and her husband feel.
JUST WRONG on so many levels, especially taking pictures of someone on THEIR OWN PRIVATE PROPERTY! Unbelievable how low some people will stoop nowadays to get an "exclusive."
But being figures, these people all but asked for it, didn't they? [/sarcasm]
What about this? http://www.tmz.com/2012/09/04/prince-phillip-tmz-tv/
Has anyone else noticed that
"KATE MIDDLETON"
is an anagram of
"NAKED TIT MODEL"?
I'm in agreement that the person who took those pictures was way out of line. Talk about an invasion of privacy! It's more than a tad bit creepy, too.
I feel so bad too. I mean they were at a private villa. And I agree that they should have learned something from Will's mom.
I just love Kate and William. I think they are so much more personable and handsome than Princess Diana was. They make me smile to look at them. I'm sad that this happened but I hope she can get past it. I don't think having pictures of her boobs is that bad, it's the way they were obtained that bothers me.
I do find Kate to be very engaging. I hate to compare her to Princess Diana, but I can't help notice that Kate is so much more self assured when she's meeting crowds. Diana was very nervous and jumpy but sweet. But then again Diana was much younger than Kate was when she first became a public figure. Kate seems very approachable and kind.
Will and Kate are a lovely couple and I love that they try very hard to stay out of the limelight as much as they can. And I agree with you, they deserve some privacy and that those pics should never have been taken. It's discusting. The woman was not in public, she was with her husband alone. It's not like she was at a bar, got drunk, jumped on a table and did a strip tease.
