Avoiding Lawsuits
Some thought that the press was just being careful and trying to avoid being charged. There was this instance in the past where Prince William and Kate pressed charges on against the media for publishing her photos without consent. Of course, they won the case. Who would dare go against the palace?

The letter read, “In addition to being false and highly damaging, the publication of false speculation in respect of our clients’ private life also constitutes a breach of his privacy according to Article 8 of the European Convention to Human Rights.”
