Jeremy Hunt: No Public Interest in Nude Prince Harry Photographs

THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: There was no public interest in the publication of photographs of Prince Harry nude in Las Vegas, the Culture Secretary has said.

Speaking to BBC News this morning, Mr Hunt said: "Personally I cannot see what the public interest was in publishing those.

"But we have a free press and I don't think it is right for politicians to tell newspaper editors what they can and cannot publish. That must be a matter for the newspaper editors.

"I just hope that people won't remember this, but they will remember the amazing good work that Prince Harry has done."

Mr Hunt added: "We can agree with what someone like Mr Murdoch does or you can disagree with it.

"But in the end that is not for politicians to tell editors what to publish. » | Telegraph reporters | Sunday, August 26, 2012
