Protecting Kate: Prince William Invokes EU Law to Ensure Privacy

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has been a national treasure since her engagement to Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge.

However, being a royal comes with its disadvantages, particularly regarding privacy and personal affairs.

The media often puts her in the spotlight, which can lead to unproven rumors.

As a result, Prince William has been stepping in to protect his wife from the tabloids since the early days of their relationship.

In a recent Channel 5 documentary titled “The Tabloids and the Royals,” Kelvin Mackenzie, a former editor of the Sun newspaper, spoke about how Prince William invoked EU law on Kate's behalf.

Both Prince William and his brother, Prince Harry, are protective of their significant others due to their mother's death.

Princess Diana suffered at the hands of the media and was constantly in the spotlight.

Kelvin Mackenzie stated that he wants to protect Kate, so he effectively invokes the law.

There is a European Court of Human Rights law stating that everyone has a right to privacy, and Prince William invoked it on Kate's behalf.

Before the royal couple's marriage, Prince William introduced Kate slowly into the public eye to avoid the mistakes made in the past concerning his mother.

Diana was plunged into the deep end when she was introduced into the royal family.

Prince William devised a unique plan to protect Kate from paparazzi so she could enjoy her life as a royal.

In addition to invoking the EU law and slowly introducing her to the press, he wrote to editors of the tabloids to ensure her privacy.

There were many events that provoked the actions taken by William.

One of these events was back in 2005 when Kate was photographed riding a bus in London near her flat.

The royal family was not impressed with the media as she was going back home from a job interview and was followed all day.

A reported upsetting event regarding paparazzi for Prince William was on Kate's 25th birthday in 2007.

Rumors were spread that William had planned on proposing to Kate that night.

So the paparazzi waited outside her flat in Chelsea in order to get a statement from her.

It went as far as her car being blocked by the reporters and camera lenses shoved in her face.

Afterward, Prince William made a statement to the press in which he called for the press to stop harassing Kate.

Prince William is protective of his wife and still continues to work with the media to ensure her privacy.

However, since then, Kate's privacy has been well-protected.

Most of the publicized press about Kate is positive news and often very complimentary towards her fashion choices.

Prince William has been proactive in protecting his wife, and his efforts have paid off.

When it comes to privacy, he is not afraid to invoke the law to ensure that Kate's rights are respected.
