Royal Palace issues appeal against Prince George’s unauthorised photos

The Royal Palace of Kensington has issued an appeal to the paparazzi not to target Prince George. They have publicly appealed to media organisations not to print unauthorised photographs of their son George.

The Royal couple wrote a letter to the media organisations of the world, asking the readers of magazines, which published unauthorised photographers of Prince George, to think over the dangerous tactics used to get the photographs.

Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, said the paparazzi had gone to "extreme lengths," crossing the line to take pictures. The couple accused them of hiding in sand dunes, woodland and car boots, pursuing cars and using other children to entice the Prince into view at playgrounds.

The Royal couple said they did not want their children to grow up behind Palace gates and in walled gardens but were deeply disturbed on seeing personal pictures being published. Meanwhile, London's Metropolitan Police warned the people, who targeted the royal family, as they ran the risk of being shot because they might be mistaken for someone whose intention is to harm the family.

The letter also said that a few media organisations, mostly in Australia, France, Germany, New Zealand and the US, had published the unauthorised photos of Prince George in "unacceptable circumstances.” However, the letter mentioned that the unwelcomed activity was not at all uncommon.

The family thanked the British Media for understanding the importance of the matter and were also pleased with other commonwealth publications, particularly from Australia, Canada and New Zealand for adopting a similar position.

Kensington Palace tweeted : "The Duke and Duchess want to extend their thanks for the kind and supportive messages they have received in recent months.” "They have been delighted to share photos of their children and will continue to do so in the months and years ahead,” BBC reported.
