No, What is a disgrace is attacking someone who is serving in the army, 10 weeks on the front line, to suit your own agenda. Don't pretend it's the Afgan people you are concerned about, you just want to have a go at the Royal Family.
A photo-op does not need to involve 10 weeks on the front line (more if drudge hadnt leaked it), real danger, real risk. The media needed to stay out of this so he would not attract kidnap attacks. The media asking for some pictures in return is understandible.

Also, they were only out interviewing him at certain moments. He had many weeks without the media, and they were not there when he was fighting.
