It's a bit like the Americans I read about who either go on a rant, buy something else, or run out of a store screaming if their total or change comes to $6.66 - there will always be random stuff to offend people as long as there are idiots in the world - unfortunately we are making it easier for them to survive long enough to breed.
The really sad thing is that the people who read the Sun will not think about the context of this picture, they won't see the good that has been achieved by members of the Royal family.......and whether we like it or not the Royal family do add to the sum total of the cultural wealth of this country...and they certainly won't consider the upset to a woman who was seven years old when this picture was taken......a PRIVATE picture...something that was for her family, not for publication.
