Now apologises to Versace heir

By Press Gazette

Allegra Versace Beck, heir to the Versace fashion millions, has won an apology from Now magazine after complaining to the PCC.

The 18-year-old was unhappy about an article published on 15 September headlined: “Yes, you can be too rich and too thin”.

In
an apology, the glossy weekly said: “We speculated about Ms Versace
Beck’s health and wellbeing, which we accept we should not have done.
We wish to apologise to her for this intrusion into her private life.
We have agreed that we will not repeat the article.”

She complained that the article was in breach of clause three of the Editors’ code (privacy).
