Palace Bans Harry's Bum From U.K. Media
Not legally, but even the notoriously raunchy London tabloids are laying off.
"The royal family can ask to deny the right of the photos being published, but it's more of the British media self-policing and being afraid to print them," Rory Carroll, U.S. West Coast correspondent for The Guardian, tells E! News. "In this climate, with the Leveson Inquiry [into press ethics], there's been so much focus on the media, especially the tabloids and their excesses, like the hacking scandal—it's made everyone much more skittish."
The family, which has confirmed that the cheeky pics were indeed of Harry enjoying a "private holiday" in Vegas, is said to have made the blackout request to the Press Complaints Commission, citing the third clause of the PCC Editor's Code of Practice: "It is unacceptable to photograph individuals in private places without their consent." (The PCC is not a legal body, but a regulatory agency.)
