The right royal commercial break

LONDON: There are certain rules of conduct for a British monarch. Do your duty, wave, and smile — and don’t get too close to the press.

In more than five decades as Britain’s sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II has never given an interview. Not so her eldest grandson, who not only spoke to a reporter but sold the story of his upcoming nuptials to a magazine reportedly for £5,00,000.

The 20-page spread in Hello! magazine featuring 11th in line to the throne Peter Phillips and his fiancee reflects a generational sea change in relations between the royal family and the media.

The youngest generation of royals appear regularly in tabloids and celebrity magazines. The latest issue of Hello! features an interview with Princess Beatrice, as well as pictures of Harry receiving a medal for his military service in Afghanistan.— AP
