The private life of the royal family in the foreground: Tampongate, topless Kate and phone hacking

Her life and works have always employed the means, causing immense curiosity about everything that happens in front and behind its closed doors. From the call – the prank of Queen Elizabeth and Kate’s topless photographs, to “Tampongate” and the wild pursuit of Harry and Megan’s car, the right of the royal family of England to private life has not been circumvented a few times with the Palace running and not reaching the… uncompromising. And if a question exists on the lips but also on the thought of many in recent months and that is no other than “What is going on with Kate Middleton?” this hiding of the palace for its health not only does not help but instead gives food to rumours and conspiracy theories. And now it comes to add the rumored while being hospitalized in January, with three employees of “The London Clinic” being targeted. Let’s see the times the private life of the royal family went… for a walk. When Queen Elizabeth called the hospital where Kate is being treated In 2012 Queen Elizabeth allegedly called the hospital where Kate Middleton was being hospitalized, at King Edward VII in Windsor, with morning nausea and I was pregnant with Prince George and asked her personal nurse what is the best time to visit Kate, without disturbing. In fact, he also asked Prince Charles to “throw her” to the clinic. The call – a prank was organized by radio producers Mel Greig and Michael Christian, posing as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles who after their misdemeanor were found out “air”. The prank took very large dimensions, as all hospital records were put under control. Indian-born nurse Jacintha Saldanha was found dead on December 7 – three days after transferring the call to a colleague who revealed details about Kate’s recovery. The investigation into the death of 46-year-old nurse and mother of two revealed that she blamed herself for diverting a call, which she believed was true. The investigation concluded that he committed suicide. Prince William sent a condolences message to the nurse’s family speaking of a “unbelievably sad” event and thanking for the care Kate received at the hospital. “Jacintha and her colleagues took very good care of us and I am very sorry that someone who cared so much for others was in such a desperate situation,” William later wrote as the nurse’s family revealed. Kate’s topless photos Kate’s topless photographs – taken while she and Prince William vacationed in southern France – were published in French publication, Closer, in September 2012. Prince William and Kate are said to have reacted with “anger and mistrust” and thought that “a red line was crossed”. The royal couple described “trigger and unjustified violation of privacy”. But the then publisher of the publication, stated that the couple were “visible from the street” and that the images were “not at all embarrassing”. They were taken with a zoom lens as they relaxed outside in a tower belonging to the queen’s nephew, Viscount Linley. The front page showed Kate naked on the porch of the house. Inside the magazine were other photos of her performing topless sunbathing. British newspapers rejected proposals to purchase the photographs. The royal family filed a lawsuit for violating privacy and took injunctions prohibiting further use of images. They also brought suit for violating privacy against magazine publishers. Court ordered the French magazine Closer to pay compensation of 100,000 euros (92,000 pounds) to the couple in September 2017. Kate and William expressed their satisfaction with the court’s decision after a “serious breach of privacy” and stated that “they wanted to make clear with emphasis that this kind of unjustified invasion should not happen.” Tampongate A copy of the notorious telephone conversation known as “Tampongate” between then Prince Charles and Camila Parker Bowles was published in 1993 by many British newspapers, after appearing in an Australian magazine. The story referred to the details of a personal conversation between the future king and queen, full of sexual innuendo. The call between the illegal then couple, was made in December 1989, and in this six-minute conversation they described their erotic fantasies. It was recorded by an illegal radio enthusiast who had fallen into the conversation using a high-tech scanning device. The publication of the phone call, first in Australia and then in headlines around the world, followed the publication of Andrew Morton’s revealing book resulting from the transcriptions of the tapes that Princess Diana had smuggled to him, and recounted her side of her marriage to Charles. The announcement of Buckingham Palace was preceded in December 1992 that the then prince and princess of Wales had decided to separate. Ords of furious journalists and photographers with large lenses gathered outside Camila’s house in Wiltshire, to take a look at Charles’ mistress. Telephone interceptions Recently, Prince Harry earned considerable compensation in a wiretap case accusing Mirror Group Newspapers group of illegally gathering information about him in their reports. As proved 15 of the 33 articles presented to the court were deemed to be a product of telephone interception or other illegal collection of information, as the Supreme Court ruled. Specifically, as the indictment reports, from 1996 to 2010, knowingly of their managers, the group was monitoring its calls. The Duke of Sussex, as the main plaintiff against the publishing group, argues that more than 140 publications during the period in question contained details of his personal life that can only be based on interceptions. Judge Timothy Fancourt stated that the Duke’s phone might only be monitored to a small extent and that it was “controlled carefully by certain individuals” from late 2003 to April 2009. But he added that there was a tendency of the Duke to assume that everything was a result of hacking. The judge awarded the prince the total amount of £140,600. The practice was “widely widespread and usual” from 1998 onwards, the judge said, while phone monitoring “was still an important tool in journalism” in all three newspapers – Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Sunday People – from 2006 to 2011. Harry hailed the decision on December 15, 2023 as “fair” and targeted senior executives and editors, including Pierce Morgan – who was in charge of the Daily Mirror from 1995 to 2004. In response Morgan insisted that he had never hacked his phone. Pursuit by car from paparazzi Prince Harry, Megan, and her mother were involved in a “almost destructive pursuit” with paparazzi, for more than two hours, said the prince’s representative. The incident, which “awakened” memories of Princess Diana’s fatal accident in 1997, occurred after Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended an award ceremony in New York City on Tuesday. Ashley Hansen, a spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, then told Sky News: “They were incredibly scared and shocked. There were several times the car stopped and security went out. There were cases where the police confronted the paparazzi and had asked them to stop or give them room to do so safely. Unfortunately this desire was not respected.” The taxi driver who carried Megan’s couple and mother, said the photographers tried to take pictures and record videos as long as Megan’s couple and mother were in the car. However, he said he never felt he was in danger and rejected the suggestions that it was like a pursuit you would see in the films. New York police officials also downgraded the incident by saying they do not believe the chase was “almost destructive” and instead described it as “a little chaotic scene”. However, it was another example of the constant interest in the lives of members of the royal family and the pressures on their privacy… Information From
