Sorry, but, no, I don't think Prince William is a "celebrity", certainly *not* in the modern sense of the word (ie a usually publicity hungry non-entity
).
He has as much right as anyone who does not court publicity to have a private life and be able to meet people *without* paparazzi peering over his shoulder.
People and newspapers should remember that "public interest" does *NOT* mean "what the public is interested in", it means "of benefit to the public" eg it's in the Public Interest to prove a cabinet minister lied to them, but what someone gets up to in their private life (provided it doesn't affect their job) is not in the Public Interest (that's just public nosyness!)
