If you're a Princess, don't get your tits out in public.

Not too much to ask, is it?

I wish I were a princess.

I can honestly say I would hit the roof and go after anyone that photographed my wife in that way.

I do think she should have known better than to do something like that, its obvious what is going to happen!

Not too much to ask, and not what she did. It was in a private swimming pool, and the person obtained the photographs by using a long range high zoom camera.
I don't think they're comparing it to the car chase. Prior to that whole series of events, there were various attempts to photograph diana using hidden cameras in her gym etc.

At least I wish more people would stop caring about the lives of famous people to take care of their own. It would make life better for everyone, famous people included.

She just needs to get a t-shirt printed up; in big block letters "I'm Glad You Like Them".

The fuss after the fact is what drives page views/clicks. After everyone's had a gawk, a chuckle and a sad few give a magazine a pearl necklace it would all be forgotten if nobody made a big deal about it.

I think if I were a Prince and Mrs Asbeau were a Princess, I'd be bloody livid with her for putting herself in this position, rather than angry with the papparazzi that papped her paps.

Although if it were Mrs A they wouldn't need the telephoto lens, if you know what I mean.

Agreed. It's all well and good to complain that we live in a "prudish" society, but the fact still remains that the exposure of breasts in almost all of current western culture has sexual connotations (no idea if this is spelled right. Don't have firefox handy D:), and getting unsolicited pictures of them is effectively sexual harassment as a result. Until the culture changes, that's how it's going to remain. I for one would go completely postal if someone did that to my wife. Because regardless of how things "should" be, getting candid booby shots is an invasion of privacy to any woman who considers that part of her body to be...well...private. Also, it's the royal family, and from what I understand they're held to pretty strict rules of conduct.

On a somewhat related subject, this is why I see fame as being a curse rather than a blessing. I'd hate having the sort of life where photographers are constantly out to get you in your most private moments.
well, you're a lucky man aren't you? :3

1. Who's "we" ?
2. I don't think "tribals" is a fortunate turn of phrase in this situation... Quite the opposite, actually ;P.
EDIT: Princess activities suck !

If the princess looked more like the current queen, she wouldn't have this problem.

I don't think they should be expected to act as if they are in public when in private.

I think the sad reality of it is when you are such a public figure like that you are never private. I don't think all the money in the world could bribe me into living in the spotlight like that.

You have obviously not seen the movie "The Princess Bride." That movie accurately describes the importance of a princess's breasts.
