I don't exactly disagree with you Lee. I would prefer not to be faced with his backside early in the morning.

 The point is that he isn't any other serving army officer. He is third in line to the throne who has a royal protection detachment guarding him. Where we're they? There are serious questions about their role. And you and I pay a lot of money for them to do their job. Surely there is considerable public interest there.

The soldiering bit is a side issue but was brought up by Chris Accabussi (can't spell his name). As a former serving soldier he wondered about the respect from his men after he has been seen to act in such a way. Next time he has to discipline someone how can they respect him after they have seen his antics. (Although soldiers most would probably think it ok.)

So from a DP point of view I think publication is fully justified.

From a personal point of view I have no problem with Harry doing what he wants, we all need to let off steam. I work in the garden or go walking.

How exactly did the public benefit (which is after all the very crude basis of public interest) from the Sun publishing the photos?  The only beneficiaries were The Sun's accountants if there was a circulation increase.
 
The press need to learn the difference between what is 'in the public interest' and what 'interests the public'.  The Harry pics most certainly fail to meet the first and I suspect they struggle to meet the second as well.

As much as I dislike the Sun it is in everyones public interest to prick the bubble of privilege privacy.

Serving army officer (off or on duty) makes an exhibition of himself and puts himself in potential danger when being guarded at great expense to public purse. That is more what the story should be. The fact we have to sell it on the back of a naked bottom says a lot about our society. That so many newspapers were reluctant to print it says a lot about the bravery of our press.

Interesting article, but if every tabloid got the appropriate fine every time they breached the DPA they'd all be bankrupt by now.
