THE Princess Royal’s lively daughter, Zara, is reported to be cross after palace officials vetoed a £500,000 deal she had made with a magazine for pictures of her wedding to rugby star Mike Tindall.
She is said to be fuming over this – and rightly so.
As a private individual who doesn’t sponge off the public purse, Zara should be able to sell the rights to her wedding. Plenty of people in the Royal family, and all sorts of hangers-on, do have access to the public purse.
So for her not to be able to receive income from pictures of her wedding is disgraceful.
