The media is in the business of selling.
Toddlers sells, especially if they are pictured having their moments and melt down.
The media wants access to George's toddler moments.
They want access to George in closeup informal settings not controlled settings.
William has teased the media about George's escapades, yet the media is not allow to capture these moments.
IMO, some in the media feels cheated because of this and have resorted to other means to capture these moments.
George being held at the Trooping the Colours, a play date in Australia and attending his or his sister's christening, is not the same as running around for an hour at a Horse Trial or a Polo match.
The media has more access to Princess Anne's granddaughters Savannah, Isla and Mia's in informal setting than George.
Photographs of Princess Anne's granddaughters can be captured several times a year.
I do not think it is necessarily a case of the media not being allowed to capture informal moments with George, it is more a case that the opportunities are far and few between.
I am quite sure that if George and his parents attended the Badminton or Gatcombe Park Horse trials or other public events where cameras are allowed, there would be more photos of him. But they don't go much to events like this.
I guess this does contribute to media frustration, which is understandable, but not much can be done about it unless George's parents take up a sudden interest in horses.
