27. I would need more facts

Fri Sep 14, 2012, 03:12 PM

Sep 2012

Was she sunning herself on a veranda in plain view of a public street? Was it obvious to neighbors or passersby that someone in the yard was nude but it took a special lens on the camera to magnify the face to see who it was? Was she even trying to hide or was the publication an issue only after the Queen found out about it and got on her new grand daughter-in-law's case like she did with Diana? At one extreme would be my expectation of privacy if I went outside to water my lawn in the nude or if I was in a back yard surrounded by a wall and someone trespassed on my property. I do find the publication to be a disgusting thing and I would never buy the rag. But I can't decide where I stand without more facts.
