I DO understand the young royals being annoyed at the invasion of their privacy.

However, they must be very naive if they did not learn from what happened to Princess Diana.

The royals have a very privileged life. They never have to wonder where the next penny is going to come from.

It is surely unwise and counterproductive to go to court over the publication of topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge as there will surely be many other occasions similar to this one.

If they annoy the paparazzi they will be in for a very hard time.

William and Kate have had many column inches of good publicity.

If they get annoyed by the coverage from time to time surely it goes with the job?

No doubt royalists will not agree with me, but that goes with the job of being a republican.
