Minutes after the pictures of an unclad Prince Charles first published by TMZ began to make the rounds, the Royal family in England made a royal and a passionate request to all English newspapers not to publish the photos.
But the Sun Newspapers today splattered the images of the nude Prince baring is Royal ass on its front page, alongside an editorial.
The paper while explaining the rationale behind publishing the pictures said, it was letting it’s readers “take a full part in the national conversation” about the scandal.
They wrote: “There is a clear public interest in publishing the Harry pictures, in order for the debate around them to be fully informed. The photos have potential implications for the Prince’s image representing Britain around the world.”
“There are questions over his security during the Las Vegas holiday. Questions as to whether his position in the Army might be affected.”
“Further, we believe Harry has compromised his own privacy.”
Referring to Prince Harry’s blame in the matter, the newspaper states: “These are not pictures of him and a girlfriend at Balmoral. The Prince was in Vegas, the party capital of a country with strong freedom-of-speech laws, frolicking in the pool before inviting strangers to his hotel room for a game of strip billiards.”
They went on: “These are hardly the acts of a man jealously guarding his privacy. And, sadly for Harry, what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas.”
The paper also points to the example of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge’s honeymoon when “privacy” was agreed with the UK press.
They claimed: “Compare that with Prince William and Kate, whose desire for quiet privacy on their honeymoon was respected by the British Press in the kind of arrangement we have readily agreed to with the Royal Family in the past and will doubtless agree to again.”
