What is this "royal" nonsense coming to. A bunch of rich people ordained by priests long ago in a circus of ceremonies to impress the common people that makes them untouchables. It is a outdated circus that should have been abandoned long ago. For entertainment of the citizen who will never be able to get into the "royal" circle, it is a excessive privilege, and an affront. Let the royals be celebrities like any other artist who must give up its privacy if they want to play and act silly games for the entertainment for the rest of us.

And would there be restrictions on a free press taking photo's of me on vacation -- I think not (assuming they are not slanderous, etc).

If the royals do not want their pictures taken, perhaps they should find a new line of work -- maybe one that is even useful;-)

WHY NOT??? At least, this is the only chance that we can see how they are using and enjoying our money, specially for the people who are unemployed it's the only possibility to appreciate the most beautiful, exotics and expensive places that they can visit. "
