Could the reason that paparazzi are hiding in cars trying to take pictures of royal toddlers have something to do with the woeful lack of 'official' pictures that are issued?

My niece has been flooding Facebook virtually every day for the last six months with snaps of her sprog. Never once has it been suggested that the kid's childhood is being sacrificed.

Why not issue a few 'official' photos every few days? 99.9% of the papers will soon get bored and not bother to print them all, and the sad 'Hello' readers will get their regular dose of pictures to bill and coo over.

And it will make fuzzy pictures taken from half a mile away though a long range lens completely worthless.

Just a thought!
