Prince Philip pursues privacy

The Telegraph reports that the Duke of Edinburgh hopes that the Max Mosley privacy ruling will be applied to the royal family in the future. Under these standards many well-known royal stories of the past three decades would never have been published. Frankly, I wish him success; while in general few people are more interested in reading about the royal family than I am, there were certain aspects of the endless Windsor scandals of the 1990s about which I wished I hadn't read.
