Overview
- Reports published Tuesday say new “No Photography” signs have been placed around parts of Eton, which the school and some outlets present as a step to curb on-site image capture.
- Some media accounts describe plans for continuous police protection for George while he is at Eton, but those details have not been fully confirmed by Kensington Palace.
- Royal commentators and Vanity Fair reporting say William and Catherine could seek an informal agreement with the British press to avoid intrusive coverage of their son at school.
- Experts warn that smartphones and social media make informal restraints fragile because a single photo taken by a classmate or passerby can be shared worldwide within minutes.
- Eton was picked in part for its proximity to Windsor and its culture of pupil privacy, and the measures now under discussion could shape how the palace and press handle the royal children's private lives going forward.
