From Selina McGeoch
Sir, - When I heard on the BBC News
that photographs had been taken of Prince Harry while he was at
leisure in a private hotel room, I was deeply saddened that someone
among his associates should have been so disloyal as to take
advantage of a silly and rather immature moment in a young man's
life.
I was disgusted but not really
surprised that The Sun newspaper should have found an
excuse to print the photograph, to pander to ignorant prurience and
for commercial gain. I was relieved that the serious newspapers had
better judgement in knowing that their readership would find it
vulgar, cruel, disloyal, and above all hurtful to the Queen
herself, if they printed such pictures.
It was with utter incredulity that I
saw the photograph reprinted in your newspaper. The one place I had
expected to maintain the highest standards of moral probity, I find
has descended to the level of the gutter press.
