ROYALS : Editor Fired for Royal Photos
LONDON — The publisher of The People newspaper said today that he has fired its editor for publishing photographs of Princes William and Harry that were deemed to be “not acceptable.”
Wendy Henry, who was appointed six months ago by publisher Robert Maxwell to edit the Sunday tabloid newspaper, had no comment on her dismissal.
The front-page photos showed 7-year-old William in a pose captioned: “Willie’s sly pee in park,” and a series of pictures of 5-year-old Harry in a tussle with schoolmates.
Their parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, issued a statement deploring them as an intrusion into the boys’ privacy and a security concern.
The photos appeared to have been taken in a garden square at the school the boys attend.
