The Sun. for its part, has no intention of carrying photographs which invade the privacy of Princes William and Harry." said the tabloid, which has a national circulation of 4 million.

The Daily Star wrote: "Earl Spencer’s angry words .... were echoed in most people's hearts. No paper or magazine, no editor. Journalist, broadcaster or photographer should allow words like that ever to be uttered again." The tabloid

pledged to secure privacy and respect for William. 15. and Hany. 12.

The 9th Earl Spencer, in an attack on tabloids in his oration at his sister's funeral Saturday, said the media had made Diana "the most hunted person of the modem age."

The Sun and other British tabloids over the years have regularly bought and printed paparazzi pictures of Diana.

Ludgrove school which Harry attends.
