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

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

U.S. Website Airs Naked Photos of UK's Prince Harry

REUTERS.COM: Pictures of a naked Prince Harry, grandson of Britain's Queen Elizabeth, cavorting with a nude young woman in a hotel room in Las Vegas were published on a U.S. website on Wednesday, in a potential embarrassment to him and the royal family.

A royal source confirmed to Reuters that it was Harry in the photos.

One photo published on the celebrity gossip website TMZ shows Harry, an Apache helicopter pilot in the British army, covering up his genitals with his hands while an apparently naked woman hides behind his back.

The other shows the 27-year-old prince, third in line to the British throne, pictured from the back hugging what appears to be the same naked woman.

The blurred pictures were taken in the a VIP suite of a hotel in Las Vegas where the prince was enjoying a private holiday with friends.

According to TMZ, the pictures were taken after Harry and his friends went down to the hotel bar and invited some women, who have not been identified, back up to their room.

The photographs of Harry were taken after the group started playing a game of strip pool. » | Michael Holden | LONDON | Wednesday, August 22, 2012
