Complainant Name: Clauses Noted: 4 Publication: Daily Mirror Complaint: Ms Kate Middleton complained, through Harbottle & Lewis solicitors,
that a photograph of her published by the newspaper had been taken in
circumstances that amounted to harassment.
Resolution: The complaint was resolved when the newspaper, which issued a public statement the day after receiving the complaint, then published the following text on page 2 of its subsequent edition:
“The Daily Mirror
yesterday said ‘we got it wrong’ after Kate Middleton complained to the press
watchdog about alleged harassment.
Lawyers for Prince William’s 25-year-old girlfriend contacted the Press
Complaints Commission about a photograph.
Editor Richard Wallace said: ‘On Thursday we published an innocuous
picture of Ms Middleton walking down the street with a cup of coffee. It was taken by a freelance photographer in
circumstances where we were later told she felt harassed. We got it wrong and we sincerely regret
that.’ The PCC said it was still
investigating.”
