The Sun which is a UK tabloid published photographs of Prince Henry naked in Las Vegas and have become the first paper to defy the British publication to defy a request from the royal family’s lawyers.The tabloid claimed press freedom to defend their action,adding that the public had already seen the photos online.
Almost half of the front page of Friday’s The Sun newspaper shows a photograph of the naked prince covering up his genitals with his hands while an apparently naked woman hides behind his back in a Las Vegas hotel room.
The Sun is part of the British arm of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, said millions of people around the world had already seen the pictures and its readers had a right to see them.
The royals had warned the British media against the use of Prince Harry’s images .A royal spokesman has confirmed that the family has contacted the Press Complaints Commission to request that British newspapers not to print the images, arguing it would be a breach of privacy.
The photographs first published in the United States by celebrity news website TMZ.com, showed Prince Harry without clothes in a hotel suite.
In one of the two photographs, the 27-year-old is pictured, apparently wearing only a watch and a necklace, covering his genitals with his hands while another person, who also appears to be nude, stands close behind him.
In the other, he is bent over bear-hugging a second person, who also appears to be naked. It is not clear if the person is a man or a woman.
Prince Henry of Wales (Henry Charles Albert David) is the younger son of Charles, Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales, and fourth grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
