Do the Royal Family have a right to privacy?

Do the Royal Family have a right to privacy?

This weekend The Sunday Times reported details of a blackmail plot against a Royal. The identity of the Royal involved in the alleged sex and drugs blackmail plot remains protected by court order. Do taxpayers have the right to know more or is the scandal a private matter for the Royal Family?

    No, they don't have a right to the kind of "privacy" that they think they should have.

    They should be investigated like everyone else, including PM's, MP's, "Lords" and everyone else who's paid by the state!

    Just another bunch "claiming benefits". They're no better than anyone else! In fact, they're worse!! They spend more on un-necessary "crap".

    Everyone deserves privacy to adegree including the Royals.
    What they don't deserve is respect and admiration when they behave like common louts.

    If the Royal Family want the same privacy as the rest of us they should surrender their inherited privileges, cease from being supported in unbounded luxury by the public purse and live and work as ordinary people. The truth is, if this were to happen, they would be lost. How could they ever manage without servants?

    For years they have courted publicity through the media and thought that they could control the beast. They have found to their chagrin that the media relishes destroying reputations even more than building them. Especially when it comes to royal reputations.
