If the Sun feels fit to break the agreement, I think the Royals have every right to ban them from photocalls for a while. |
I don't think that the pictures were in 'the public interest', but I'm not bothered if the Sun prints them (it's not like I read it anyway). However, I thought that all of the arrangements regarding photos of William only ran until he was 18 - as an adult in his position, surely the palace understand that the tabloids are going to be trying to get pictures / information about him (although I'm not saying that it's justified).
At the end of the day, we live in a democracy that is meant to show freedom of the press - surely banning the Sun from photocalls breaches this?
