Prince William Won’t “Tolerate” the Media Harassing Princess Kate

Prince William is reportedly extraordinarily protecting in relation to his spouse, Princess Kate.

As reported by CosmopolitanPrince William’s protecting nature was explored in royal writer Robert Jobson’s e book Catherine, the Princess of Wales. When French journal Closer printed nude pictures of the Princess of Wales throughout a non-public trip in Provence, France in 2012, Prince William “could barely contain his fury,” Jobson defined.

Horrified by what Cosmopolitan described as a “shocking breach of privacy,” Jobson shared that William “believes that if anyone oversteps the mark regarding Catherine…it is his duty to step in and protect her.” Per the writer, William’s “stance was clear from the start of their relationship: he would not tolerate the media crossing the line.”

Princess Kate was ultimately awarded €100,000 [approximately $116,000] for the intrusion of privateness. During the trial, Prince William stated in a written assertion, per the BBC“My wife and I thought that we could go to France for a few days in a secluded villa owned by a member of my family, and thus enjoy our privacy. We know France and the French, and we know that they are, in principle, respectful of private life, including that of their guests. The clandestine way in which these photographs were taken was particularly shocking to us as it breached our privacy.”
