The Sun has no right to be invited to photocalls at private occasions, regardless of who the host is. So the Palace has every right to exclude them, for whatever reason they see fit. In this case, I think they have a very good reason. Claiming 'Public Interest' really is stretching the definition too far. The issue of a future queen is almost certainly so far into the future that even if this poor girl is it, it is not an issue of public interest at this point in time.
