The Sun UK issued an apology of sorts for the scandalous picture of Harry that made its way into their pages. The photograph, originally alleged to be recent, shows the 3rd from the throne groping a young woman:

Unfortunately the picture was actually taken sometime in 2003, as the Sun states:

In yesterday’s story “The Booze Brothers” we published photographs of Prince William and Prince Harry at a London nightclub. We accept that the nightclub was the Purple Nightclub and not Boujis as we said and the photographs were taken in autumn 2003 and not summer 2006. We apologise for the error. The Sun published the photographs in good faith but we apologise to Ms Natalie Pinkham, a close friend of both Prince William and Prince Harry for publishing them without permission and for any embarrassment or offence their publication has caused. We will be making a donation to a charity of Ms Pinkham’s choice.

I’m not sure that the issue is “publishing photos without permission” but rather “causing offense.” Still, the apology seems to include every possible mollifier.

   This tabloid is known for offending. I think it was a strategy to tell first they were taken this year.

   the tabloids are not so friendly to the royals and celebs, I think they must think first before invading the privacy of the personalities, hey guys! they are also human! give them a break!
