The mounties have really dived in their uniform standards

...however, their ability to hide their professionalism by slouching about with their hands in their pockets whilst on the blower to make any would be assailant think they couldn't give a flying fk, is superb and extremely convincing.

f course you're right.

I was thinking these long-lens, hide in a bush types unwelcome types who Harry and Megan are complaining about.

I guess it doesn't sit well with me to know I'd be contributing to making a family unhappy.

FWIW they were standing on the side of a road, not in a bush.

Regardless, doing something unwelcome.

If you or I were doing it outside of the media umbrella, it could amount to criminal harassment.

If an individual did it, then as long as that specific individual didn't repeatedly and consistently do it there'd be no basis for any charge.

There is nothing stopping an anti-harrassment order.

A member of the public is perfectly entitled to take photos of pretty much anyone and anything whilst they're in a public space - and sell those images commercially.

It's only when in the private sphere, where model releases, etc. are required.

I believe the Canadian chart of rights enshrines the rights of photographers to take any as as many shots as the want when in public.

Standing quietly on the side of the road taking photographs could hardly be described as harassment

It can be if the subject of that photograph is on their own private property. Which is one of the accusations being made at the press in Canada.

I'm no expert on bodyguards, but with 2, shouldn't 1 be in front?

The team would be larger than those two

She was in a Private Park ?, first I have seen of that claim.

I don’t see any in front though. If it's not a posed photo, as the threat of legal action implies, there would be a big scary guy in the photographers face.

I’m not talking about that picture. I am talking about other instances.

And ?

Doesn’t mean they are not there just because you can’t see them

Neither you nor I know the layout of the location, the threat or the risk

What you are seeing there is likely to be the PPO with a Canadian cop.

The nature of the location may be that there was no need for any other staff to enter the park, they are pretty good at understanding the risk

So they would have known a 'tog was there with a "long lens" (that really wasn't that long)?

Looks to me like the photographer was outside the park, maybe in a car .

You do see the first photo in Gromm’s post is taken behind a car right ? ( you can see the tailgate blurred at the bottom). I would imagine the second, heavily cropped , picture was taken from the same place.

Do you lot have any other hobbies?

Who knows, maybe they were spoken too and discounted as a threat to the safety of the principal

Being in a public place comes with certain problems .. namely the public

The question really is whether the man with the camera was committing any offences .. I’d imagine not

I’m sure that the prot officers and Meghan would have been well aware of the press interest and the risk of being photographed if they ventured out into public

I don’t get the impression that Meghan is adverse to cameras somehow

Taking a walk in a public park, in the middle of a worldwide media feeding frenzy, when you are the subject of that intense interest is not, I’d imagine, the best way of keeping a low profile.

There’s a very good chance of getting your photo taken .. maybe that was the intention ?

the protection team are there for the physical safety of the protected person

- Hello paps
- Hello Meghan
- Did you get a clear shot of my a2se?
- Yep, we sure did
- Nice one

These pictures say a lot about Meghan. Harry is too loved up to see through it all.

I think it is clear from the picture just how angered MM is at the outrageous intrusion of the photographer into her morning stroll

She has a face on her like Greta during a Trump speech ........

So says the person that's in this thread daily whinging about everyone else with the timerity to post in it

For what it's worth the ARRSE forums (army/military people) has a healthy topic on Megs and Harry too, maybe you could pop over there and tell them how mumsnet they all are instead of reminding us every day, cheers

I'm not whinging I'm just watching in fascination at the somewhat grotesque delight some of you take in armchair forensically dissecting everything this woman does.

I'm sure that you think that you are are all normal, well adjusted people.

I'm not sure that a forum with a military theme precludes odd people from posting.
