Yeah, I can see why the sun aren't getting good spots to picture anything.
"My view is that they are taking control. The boys are taking control.”
Mr Edwards is damn right there, and I [for one] am glad of it. For DECADES the tabloid media [and paps] have fed off an institution they NEVER hesitate to damage, absolutely without the least consideration for anyone within it [not children, not 'newcomers'.. NO-ONE].
I have zero sympathy for their 'plight', and am pretty certain a majority my compatriots [regardless of their views on the Monarchy] feel the same..

According to a few royal reporters yesterday on Twitter, only PA will be outside the chapel by the steps. So the wide range of pictures that we are all used to in the past wont happen.
These photogs, incl Arthur are not paps - they are recognised professionals who have toured with all of the royals over theyears,
This change appears to be just with William and Harry. Its a 2 edged sword because they still need the media to get their messages re causes out into the wider domain. It will be interesting to see how this pans out.
The NYT article is definitely worth reading - its more than just the wedding.
I thought the NYT article said four or five outside the Chapel? But regardless, this is a private wedding. The couple is not obligated to share ANYTHING with the media. They've allowed access for cameras to televise the wedding and a procession for the public, all which they aren't obligated to do either as this isn't a state or even semi-state event.

Harry is a member of the BRF who will be supported by the public as he does duties on behalf of a national institution. Meghan will now too. Their wedding is not a private event and the public deserves access which comes through the media. Claiming so is IMO disingenuous.
Folks everyone knows William doesn’t like the press but this wedding isn’t about William. Arthur Edwards says in the story this is Harry’s doing.
Press wasn’t limited at the wedding in 2011. Press isn’t limited in front of the Lindo Wing for royal births. William makes sure we see the children.
We had video and photographs for George first day of school.
I mention this only to keep the mods happy and not have yet another thread go off topic
I said William doesn’t like the press but this is the quote I’m talking about
“Mr. Edwards, 77, a veteran of seven royal weddings, said he assumed the decision was Prince Harry’s. “I can’t imagine the press officer advising that to the prince,” Mr. Edwards said. “He and Meghan have seen what’s been written and said, ‘We don’t want anyone near the wedding.’ That’s a clear message, yeah.”
William doesn’t control Harry’s wedding. You can try and muddy the waters but this one is on Hazza

Actually I think the big culprit here is the venue. Westminster Abbey and the area around it is public accessible. St. George's Chapel is on private land of Windsor Castle where there is more freedom to set the limits on who will be close and who won't be. We saw that there were certain invitations issued to people to actually be on the grounds of the chapel for the wedding. These people are vetted ahead of time so they know who is outside and no chances of someone with nefarious intents is going to get close.
This is Harry and Meghan's wedding and they're calling the shots for how it is dealt with as far as the public goes and that includes the media. They very well could have closed this wedding off to everyone and only let the press and the public in on the carriage ride through Windsor.
William’s to blame for everything. Even limited access to a wedding he has nothing to do with is William’s fault.
This is getting to be too funny
And last I checked no media is barred from this wedding. It will be well covered by all sorts of media. Their issue is they dislike the access and frankly, oh well.
I see one photographer saying this should be a time of healing yet these same photographers sell their work to these publications that turn around and attack the royals and royals to be using their images. They can't have it both ways. They will be in attendance. They will just have to make do. They always manage.
