Prince Harry: The Sun Defies Royal Family to Print Naked Pictures

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The Sun has become the first British newspaper to publish naked photos of Prince Harry, arguing the move was in the public interest and a test of Britain's free press.

The Sun has become the first British newspaper to publish naked photos of Prince Harry, arguing the move was in the public interest and a test of Britain's free press.

The pictures of the prince frolicking in the nude with an unnamed woman in Las Vegas made headlines around the world but until now no papers in the UK had used them following a request from St James's Palace, made via the press watchdog, to respect Harry's privacy.

The Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid said it was carrying the pictures in today's edition so the millions of people who get their news in print or have no internet access could ''take a full part in that national conversation''. » | Friday, August 24, 2012
