The fee may not be up to Harry but the media and press arrangements are.
There’s no reason to only have PA photographers given pride of place. This is the first wedding at Windsor that a fee has been charged. Photographers are saying the least you can do is give us equal access.
I know Harry is not a fan of the press and rightly so but a media pen for all agencies directly outside the chapel seems easy enough.
From Emily Nash
To give you a flavour of the global interest in this Royal wedding
5,000 journalists are accredited, 79 international networks are involved, and 46 US affiliates.
And these sniping journos want to be in a pen opposite the Chapel door? Sorry guys, that would do nothing more than blind the wedding party and frighten the horses!
Rudolph, why do you continue to omit the most salient reason photographers are not in a pen opposite the Chapel doors? There is not enough room anywhere within the horseshoe and they would be far too close. This is not Westminster Abbey where there is room to safely pen photographers without ruining the wedding.
Let's get real here. Like it or not this is a
private weddingHarry and Meghan have made arrangements for as many people as possible to see the Wedding, bridal party and the carriage ride, sharing their happiness because they know there is are many people who want to share it with them.
The crowd control issues are the responsibility of the Royal Borough of Windsor and the Thames Valley Police. Correct me if I'm wrong, but members of the Metropolitan police have also been seconded to augment the Windsor contingent. Harry is nowhere in that situation other than stating his preferences within the workable situation.
The Powers That Be, namely HM's representatives in consultation with Royal Borough of Windsor, the Police and their own protection personnel.
I am astounded at the disingenuous whining and general bad mouthing of Harry especially by people who know better. You don't have to like Harry, you don't have to be in Winsor for the wedding. But telling half-truths are more of a lie than an outright lie. You can have your own opinion but you can't have your own "facts".
