Look, they don't want to be bothered by the public and I don't want to be bothered by them.
Yeah, they as persons - but the 'human drama' as such, of values, attitudes and generations, and the 'public' being thrilled (?) into headlines of the Royals, the Kardashians (even though the photos of Kim really are beautiful imho), the 'human Ken' turning into Barbie... and in the background some glimpses of Putin sacking his whole government and 'amending' the constitution, Trump impeachment, Merkel getting old and Brexit on its bumpy road.
Oh, and some generals killed and a commercial aircraft blasted accidentally.
And the weird weather, with hailstorms battering Canberra amid firestorms in general.
Sure I've missed something, though.

OK photo competition. Which is a future King of the UK and which is the Royal drop out. Notice that the Sussexs both had two heavies with them yesterday. She must have more than two over there. We are paying for that.

They need to go live somewhere where the paparazzi are illegal and can be sued for lots for privacy infringement. Might save them having to work for a living.

What on earth did they expect. Certain protections.in the UK but the Canadians and Americans are going to have a field day over there. Yet another thing they didn"t think through.

You didn't think that one through Courtney.

Do you need permission to photograph someone in a public park?

To whom have they issued a "warning" and what sanctions will apply ? Much as I'd like to see withering showers of sh*t descend on the reptiles of the press, not much their Holinesses can do about public spaces.

And apparently not illegal. I think they objected to them hiding in the shrubbery but as pointed out, if you get your own photog along you can hardly complain.

Initially I was trying to understand why they decided to take action against paparazzi but then again they need anything will keep them in the spotlights

PH and MM have, by their actions encouraged the media to follow (and report) their activity.

Unintended consequence.

Could it be The Cambridge Diet that is responsible?

Is it about to be renamed The Royal Cambridge Diet?


As for the media BBC News, why have they sent a reporter from the UK to Vancouver Island? Then file a report of no consequence and with no substance.

The parasites should back off and stop waisting licence payers money

If by 'she' you mean Meghan, she would be smiling, she knows she's going to divorce Harry and get millions when she sells her story or goes back to being a third rate actress, only this time she will play herself.

They, together or apart, will find idiots with money to support them, if just to say that they are tight with (ex)-royalty.

There are almost unlimited beautiful places in North America where they could go and live in obscurity if they changed their names and didn't live too flashy. They could buy a ranch in Montana or somewhere out West and build a beautiful home surrounded by a thousand pristine acres upon which they could ride horses, hunt, fish, and have a garden and no one would know they were there.

But I don't think that's what they're after.

Ben, reminds me of when I saw a British actor, Patrick somebody, face like chiseled granite, raincoat drapped over his shoulders, striding down a London street.

His face was a picture. One moment 'I don't want to be pestered by fans' next moment one of annoyance that no one recognised him.😁

Love to walk past him or her in the park and not recognise them.
