Press warned against using Kate Middleton's family pictures
Kate Middleton's family has asked the UK media watchdog to warn newspaper and broadcasters against breaking the editors' code of practice.
The warning - in a letter from the family to the Press Complaints Commission - comes after agency photographers pursued Middleton's mother and sister in recent days.
A letter from the Middleton family lawyers had claimed Carole and Pippa Middleton were "pursued" and "harassed" by photographers who then sell their pictures to the highest bidders.
"A letter has been sent to Fleet Street editors and broadcasters," the Sky News quoted a spokesman from the PCC as saying.
The editors' code of practice states 'journalists must not engage in intimidation, harassment or persistent pursuit."
"As a rule there is a very hard line against agency photographers who harass and pursue members of the royal family," a spokesman for Middleton said.
"We are grateful however to those editors who show restraint and adhere to the Press Complaints Commission code," the spokesman added. (ANI)
