That is what I asked and mentioned before, there is hardly much done in the UK,
that is both a question of constitution, law, sense of privacy and especially the press code is" nothing" compared to other countries.
But still then I wonder why H&M take these tabloids so serious... we will see, at least at the moment they seem to hide which I think is a good thing, first think then act;-)
Actually I was under the impression that they could charge you with a crime if you spread hate on social media in the UK. I keep reading that. Or for that matter France. I keep reading that too.
To my knowledge you can't in the US. Or Canada though Canada has "hate speech" laws that might cover it. Someone from Canada would have to tell you.
What I read about them on social media ( mainly Twitter) is far worse than anything the tabloids come up with. Mainly because papers are still vetted and social media isn't.
I still think they'd do better to just ignore the media but others have good points when they give reasons for lawsuits.
People wanted them gone. Now they are. I remember some of the royal correspondents threatening to not cover them after Archie was born. Well now they no longer need to. Simple. They made that decision for you.
These lawsuits are what they feel is needed. That is their right and the court will decide one way or another. Come spring they will no longer be working members of the BRF. And everyone will start their new journeys.
Seems they all already have anyways. Now it is just technicalities left. This lawsuit with MoS will likely heat up in the summer time. Probably over by the fall. But we shall see.
Not so simple. They're still celebrities like Diana was. And the media didn't go away when Diana got divorced. They got worse.
Plus they're in a no win situation. They need the media because they need to promote their various projects. As Diana learned you can't just call the media when you want good publicity then demand they go away when they give you bad publicity.
They would have been shielded more as members of the royal family. As celebrities with titles no one is protecting them.
