That photographer has apparently been "stalking" members of the Royal Family for some years, in the sense of finding out where they are going and taking unwanted photographs. |

I think the worrying thing was that it is thought the photographer had plotted his previous movements so that he knew exactly when he would be in the park. It is a warning to his body guards I think that, small as he is they have to be as alert as if he were Catherine or William. If one person knew his movements others will too. And now it has been well publicized who knows what person (terrorist or unstable person) will be thinking along the same lines. They need to make sure he is not taken to the same place the same time every day. It is good to see him leading as normal a life as possible and difficult to know where to draw the line. I am sure that his body guards would have been alert to this though. |

don't forget the Queen as a child was allowed to play in a nearby garden .......... and made a lifelong friend because of it. |

I am sure that any parent who suspected that their child was being stalked, by a photographer, or anyone else, would take action, and seek the protection of the law, through the courts if necessary. |

I think it is just a warning that they will be trying as far as is possible for him to lead a normal life, starting NOW, and won't put up with any interference |

He would have had body guards while out,,and I would imagine some form of hat,,,plus right under peoples noses is often missed and people milling about going about their buisness would least expect him to be in the park,,,,,,,,,No one else has come forward to say they had seen him. |

I was just thinking that with all these terrorist threats he'd make a great target for some nutcase |

I agree with Rose - fgs 'we' have moaned for years about the monarchy being remote and out of touch. The only way it's going to survive is to show a more modern face and common touch and I think they have done a pretty good job in the last few years - at least they're trying. |

Why should he not be allowed to walk where there are other people without being followed and photographed? Any 'normal' parent who decided that their child should only be walked round their own garden ( however big) would be pilloried for being over protective and not allowing the child to socialise. |

They are trying not to cossett him behind high walls and to intregrate with others ,,,but he like any other child has the right for someone to speak on his behalf be that his parents and it maybe he would say,,,,,,""Back off I dont want you taking my picture"",,,,,,every other child has the right to object, so the same rule must apply for him,----prince or no prince, |

You would think they be more security conscious with all the terrorist threats around |
