IPSO rulings

PRINCE HARRY

Mail Online, the website of The Daily Mail, a mid-market newspaper, published photos of Prince Harry while on holiday in Jamaica.

Prince Harry's complaint appealed that Mail Online breached Clause 1 (Accuracy) and Clause 2 (Privacy).

IPSO ruled that this was a breach of privacy and was not in the public interest., 
Reasons given:
  • The prince was not carrying out official duties as a member of the Royal Family
  • the photographer was in close proximity (700-800 yards) of the prince without him knowing about it
