The Independent reports:
bq. Princess Caroline of Monaco has won a landmark ruling preventing the German press from publishing photographs of her and her children, which could have important implications for privacy cases in Britain.
Matthias Prinz, Princess Caroline’s lawyer, is quoted:
bq. “This is very good for my client and for all people in Europe because the court is raising the standard of protection of private life to a level higher than in Germany – to the level of France,” Princess Caroline’s lawyer, Matthias Prinz, told Reuters.
I am torn between my fondnesses for privacy laws and prinsessgossip on this one. Life can be so very complicated!
The problem is: how do you get hold of the photos without them being distributed through the tabloid press. A difficult one. Did you see that Ben Hammersley’s wife is Swedish and he has also quoted Aftonbladet?
I hadn’t, but I have now. It is the ‘bladet of choice for discerning persons everywhere!
