The ingenious recreation of The Sun to publish the scandalous photo of Prince Harry
"What happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas," the saying goes. But to poor Prince Harry this was not fulfilled. The 27-year-old young man went to Sin City for a few days to relax and everything ended in a real scandal that went around the world.
Harry just wanted to have fun in the mecca of the game and was encouraged to participate in a strip-pool. And it is seen that he lost resoundingly, since he remained as God brought him into the world. But he was not alone: a young girl, totally naked, appears in the images next to him. Very close to him ...
The point is that the TMZ.com site did not want to "leave it in Las Vegas" and published the photos, which some not so occasional witness took in an oversight of the prince, and a great stir was created. Blue blood does not run in the United States and the images were uploaded to the site without any problems.
But the English tabloids were not so lucky. For them, those photos were gold dust, but the British royal house, through the prestigious law firm Harbottle & Lewis, turned to the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) to inquire about the possibility of the media disseminating these photos .
In this way, directors and editors of the British media were reminded of good conduct practices. According to the law, photographs of individuals cannot be published in private places, unless they are in the public interest
But The Sun newspaper managed to report without violating the law. The newspaper, owned by tycoon Rupert Murdoch, recreated on its cover one of the images of Prince Harry in the company of a totally naked young woman.
The funniest thing is that two tabloid employees worked as models for the recreation. The man in the photo is Harry, he is 31 years old and he is a photo editor for the newspaper, and the young woman who accompanies him is Sophie Henderson, 21, an intern at The Sun.
Resourceful, guys.
