Celebrity gossip: Has the media gone too far? – Part 18

When it comes to Princes Harry and William, I definitely think that the media has gone too far. William and Harry didn’t ask to be in the spot-light. They were born into it. They’re not like the Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears of this world that wanted to be a celebrity. For two young men that didn’t ask for their celebrity standings, I think that Harry and William are doing quite well for themselves.

Yet now we see the media criticising Harry for a night out. Yes, Harry did look a little worse for wear when he exited the nightclub, and yes, he did seem to lunge for a camera-man. But this is excusable when we look at the facts: Harry’s mother was killed at the hands of the paparazzi. So, obviously, Harry is going to show some contempt when photographed. Secondly, Harry is about to go to war. If he wants to go and let his hair down before he goes off and fights for his country, then so be it. He deserves it.

Then William is scrutinised for touching a girl’s breast. Anyone who has seen the picture will note that William simply had his arm around the girl to take a picture. He was obliging the young girl. It’s not his fault that he has big hands.

The media made such a fuss of it. They declared that William’s girlfriend Kate Middleton was upset over his antics. Will they make up their minds? One minute they’re praising Kate, touting her as the next queen, the next they are declaring that her relationship to William is over.

The media has gone too far with Prince William and Harry. Every part of their life is scrutinised. They are not left to enjoy their own time. William will one day be king, let him at least have a bit of a life now. And Harry, the boy’s going to the front line, let him have his fun before he leaves.
