Prince William Moves For Privacy For Royals Prior To Marriage Proposal Rumours.
Prince William is taking action to try and prevent the publication of paparazzi photographs of any members of the Royal Family, unless they are engaged in official duties. Many believe that this direct action, which is supported by Buckingham Palace, has been undertaken as a precursor to a Christmas Marriage Proposal by The Prince to his girlfriend Kate Middleton.
A spokesman for bookmakers William Hill, is quoted as saying “A group of our customers have interpreted the Queen’s decision to crack down on the paparazzi as a clear sign that she expects extra activity over the Christmas period, which can only mean a royal engagement.” Currently, odds on a Christmas proposal by The Price To Kate stand at 6 to 1, slashed from 12 to 1 after this action was announced.
The 27 year old Prince has is believed to have employed the services of a firm of lawyers, instructed to implement human rights legislation to try to stop publication of paparazzi photographs of the couple together by threatening to sue for breach of privacy and harassment.
Sources close to William say he has always detested paparazzi, who he blames for the death of his mother, Diana, who died in a car crash, as they were allegedly trying to outrun a number of pursuing photographers.
Paddy Harverson, senior media adviser to Prince William spelt said of this action, “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.”
The first indication of the success of this move is likely to come when the Royals come together at Sandringham this Christmas.
