Mirror removes pictures of Prince Harry visiting Nando’s

By Dominic Ponsford

Pictures of Prince Harry collecting a chicken take-away from Nando's in Fulham have been taken down from the Daily Mirror website, following a complant from the Clarence House press office.

The photos were carried on the Mirror and other websites and featured the prince visiting the restaurant shortly before midnight on Tuesday.

They were taken inside the restaurant, apparently on a smartphone.

The Editor's Code of Practice states: "It is unacceptable to photograph individuals in private places without their consent…Private places are public or private property where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy."

The Press Complaints Commission told Press Gazette that it has not received a complaint.

Prince Harry's press office declined to comment.
