Except that it wasn’t in public

But the photographer took the pics from a public road!!1!eleven!!

Yes, I'm being facetious. Having inadvertently seen one of the (censored) pics, it appears that "visible from a public road" means "somewhat visible through a high-magnification telephoto lens and even then so distant as to need serious blowing up of the image."

Actually, I'm not sure if the Royals have a case here, but what it's a shame that this situation has come about at all- if I saw somehow saw someone topless 400 yds from the road, I think I'd just look somewhere else and not care much about it.

I think that, all legalities notwithstanding, a reasonable expectation of privacy should just be a matter of common decency.

Now Prince Harry on the other hand...

“a reasonable expectation of privacy should just be a matter of common decency.”

Yes. It should. - These papparazzi have high powered lens and telescopic ones that get more powerful every day. No one could conceal anything much from them. - Lately, the royals have been given some hard lessons in the depravity and greed of their tabloids. - It is shameful.
