Dutch royals win photo case against AP
Dutch Crown Prince Willem Alexander and his wife on Friday won a court case against the Associated Press (AP) news agency over the publication of holiday photos of the family in Argentina. An Amsterdam court ruled that the AP could no longer sell the four pictures because the family had a right to privacy in its free time. The court ruled that it would only be permissible to publish photos if they contributed to public debate. The prince and his wife Maxima are pleased with the court's decision, Radio Netherlands quoted the Dutch Government Information Service as saying. The photos were published in a number of regional and national newspapers in the Netherlands. The Government Information Service found that they contravened the Dutch media code, which stipulates that the royal family should only be photographed during official engagements and arranged photo shoots.
