A sad press story in the UK again. 

"I wonder if some Luggers know that yesterday, The Sun published a
picture where Sophie Rhys-Jones' (34) naked breast can be admired". 

Rhys-Jones will marry Prince Edward on 19 June. 
The picture was shot about 10 years ago in Spain while Sophie was on a
business trip with colleagues from the radio station for which they were
doing p.r. work. 
The Sun has bought the picture from the person who took the shot, one of
Sophie's colleagues at that time. He was offered no less than 400,000
USD 
!!! 
This person was promptly fired by the radio station when the news
appeared in the paper yesterday. 
Guess he didn't need to work for them any longer in any case... 
Three personal comments: 
1. Where is the relevance of such image? This picture was taken in
another context and it is hypocrite to make a fuss about this right now
that she is about to marry Prince Edward. The picture just displays a
funny situation that happened 10 years ago. 
2. This affair does raise a couple of questions, not only on the
inexcusable behavior of her former colleague, but sadly enough also on
professional press ethics (at least, of some sort of press). 
3. Beware of colleagues... ;-) 
The picture has been seen in many internet newsgroups and on sites
yesterday.

Hmmm...What's the 'big deal"?
I'm sure there must have been other Princ's who married Princes' with
tits.

Too bad he didn't get a shot of both breasts...maybe he would have been
paid for 'double exposure' (hah)...perhaps $800,000.US?...hah.
