Sadly, in the UK at least, many of the pictures are purchased by mainstream,
mass-circulation daily tabloids, and magazines, apparently in an attempt to
prop up
their flagging circulations (still millions), thus increasing the demand for
ever-more sensational photographs.
I fear that William and Harry, as well as having to cope with the loss of their
mother, will now bear the brunt of these unwelcome attentions.
