rude? no way, you were not being rude, just asking a perfectly legitimate question
LadyMacAlpine said:Tosca dear friend I was going by what was written in an Internet article said an official statement would be made on July 7th on the Nicole Alexandre thing when she filed against Albert. Its only next week now that he's in control lets see what else occurs. Albert you won round one now go after the rest and show the people what you are made of Champ.
I agree, invasion of privacy is also a destroying of someone's solitude.LadyMacAlpine said:I can and think its great.
dreed777 said:So, this suit was not about them allegedly printing untruths, but about breach of privacy? Interesting. If that is correct, it pretty much makes it appear that Nicole was telling the truth after all.

If this whole thing of Nicole going to the press (accordingly through betrayal by a family member) to reveal Alexandre thereby getting her name and condition out to the world so Albert is 'forced' to marry her and make his heir legitimate is being orchestrated by the Palace to put an acceptable spin on the entire situation...I would have to commend the advisors on a brilliant job. Its stupid and ill-advised but quite something.
However, I think the theory entire hogwash.
Since Thierry is now being truthfully quoted as saying there will be an official announcement on the 7th (though whether it will merely be about arrangements on the 12th or something bigger remains to be confirmed) and that is only a week away, let us all take a deep breath and wait.
We are putting waaaaaaay too much energy into something we cannot change for either side. We can whine after we actually KNOW something.

It's a nice write up, isn't it? i like itLadyMacAlpine said:Thanks for the update.
LadyMacAlpine said:This was posted in another Forum don't know how accurate it is.Theres a Privacy law that one of the media people posted I didn't save it, wish I did. Anyways Nicole also breached Alberts right to Privacy a person can be fined or put in jail for a year. From what Alberts Lawyer had said somewhere, if you can believe everything you read, she is suppose to pay back all the money she recieved from selling her story. I don't know if she has to pay this to Albert or give it back to the tablods.
Personality rights in civil law
In contrast with common law jurisdictions most civil law jurisdictions have specific civil code provisions that protect an individual's image, personal data and other generally private information. Exceptions have been carved out of these general, broad privacy rights when dealing with news and public figures. Thus, while it may violate someone's privacy to speak about his medical condition, if he were the President of France, one can speak about his public life and even a famous person such as Princess Caroline of Monaco is entitled to live her private life without the interference of paparazzi with telescoping lenses.
Unlike most common law jurisdiction the personality rights in civil law are generally inheritable, thus one can make a claim against someone who invades the privacy of a deceased relative if the memory of their character is besmirched by such publication.
[edit]
Personality rights in France
In France personality rights are protected under article 9 of the French civil code. While publicly known facts and images of public figures are not generally protected, use of someone's image or personal history has been held actionable under French law. The most famous case in recent history is perhaps the publication of the book on François Mitterrand called Le Grand Secret in which Mitterrand's doctor published a book that not only revealed private facts about Mr. Mitterrand's life, but also revealed medical confidences protected by doctor-patient privilege.

Indeed, seems as if it was just yesterday...monaco70s said:The mourning period is over today July 6. I can't believe 3 months went by.
