My wife is English (Bradford) and, as she says, everyone knows that a large segment of the British "public" has a lust for this kind of thing. Whether it's sucking on Fergie's toes or showing a naked (almost Royal) breast, it is all in the "Royalty watching" game. So Sophie Rhys-Jones has begun to pay her entrance dues. Having said that, I personally do not agree with the practice. But no matter what we all think, it isn't going to stop. Remember the rubber Prince Charles "ears" that were on sale when he and Di wed? There is a huge HUGE industry built around British Royalty and embarrassment. And pictures are the sought after "Crowning" glory. Jim - ---- Hey Jim... WISH "I" took the photo... $400,000.US bucks?...hmmm... Maybe then even I....could afford to buy a LEICA...with a lens, even!...hah. ED.
