Royals And The Media

Richard and Judy show that the trend of the Media and Royals as 'gossip fodder' are a subject that sells papers and magazines
Saying that, I rather believe that various members of the 'Royal Circle' and their hangers-on and associates, 'court' the media for their own ends. i.e. Fame By Association syndrome.

I still do not think that various personal questions should be asked of the Royal Family, but sometimes they put themselves in a position where comment will be passed, thus leading to further questioning. Constitutionally, the Royal Family in their privileged position are courting the press not to their best advantage. Some of the younger Royals should take stock, pull back and question the suitability of the company they keep. Maybe if they are seen to be behaving in such a manner, the media would back off? But as long as Princes William and Harry and their friends are seen falling out of nightclubs at all hours drunk, the media will be handed an opportunity for a story of sorts. Especially when their companions do not help by allowing them to gain the publicity by not stopping them getting drunk in the first place!

I don't think The Queen would appreciate being called a 'Celebrity Royal'........nor Princess Anne come to that!
