The Queen is have a hissy fit over people taking photographs of her and her sorry family. She wants a complete lock-down on those pesty paparazzi using the zoom lens to catch all the bad stuff her family is doing..

The crackdown against photographers in the United Kingdom reached royal levels last week when police
confiscated dozen of cameras from people trying to photograph the queen and her family as they walked down a public street.
It was the first time in decades this occurred.
Norfolk police later admitted it was a misunderstanding, claiming the royal family had nothing to do with the confiscation of cameras.

the Mail Online,
For decades, supporters of the royals have turned out to greet them as they go about their duties.
But those hoping for a memento of the Queen and her family yesterday were stunned after police seized their cameras.
It is the first time that visitors watching the Queen, Prince Charles and Princes William and Harry make their way to church have been prevented from taking photographs.
The incident comes just weeks after the Queen made an appeal for privacy and warned newspapers they face legal action if they publish paparazzi photos of ' private' situations.
So those of us whom might be deciding to visit the land of no rights at all, because you might be a terrorist, be prepare to submit to questioning under Section 44, and other crap that the uk po can think of, to protect the public from your camera or video camera.. However its ok from them to spy on you while you are there, walking down the streets, while you dining and drink in their pubs,, Big Brother/Queen is watching you, but you can't watch them...
But there is concern that the recent legal warnings are merely an attempt to obtain an unofficial privacy-law 'by the backdoor'. Graham-Smith, of anti-monarchist group Republic, said: 'The police are not there to protect the privacy of the royals.
'The Royal Family have to expect that people want to take photos of them in public. We hope that this is not a sign of things to come.' A spokesman for Norfolk Police, said: 'An officer, in error, requested cameras from members of the public. We will be allowing the public to keep their cameras, in accordance with a long-standing agreement.'
A spokesman for the Royal Family declined to comment.
How nice the Coppers are taking heat for the old wind bag. However remember that what ever happens over there finds it way here..

I have to wonder if one reason why the queen wants this banned--if it has to do with the one Paparazzi who caught William with his willy out at a soccer/football game??
see here
just maybe this one is why??
Party time: William and Kate leaving the Boujis nightclub. While Boujis has become synonymous with the names of both its fun-loving royal patrons, it is also a magnet for cocaine abuse. Prince William is said to have run up a bar bill of £11,050 ($22,000) at Mahiki the week he separated from Miss Middleton (that’s around half the average national annual salary).
