The queen of England, fed up with the antics of the paparazzi, has authorized a crackdown on them, reports the Telegraph in London.
The tough approach has the support of the prince of Wales, Prince William, Prince Harry and other senior members of the Royal family, who are now prepared to take legal action against what they see as the "intrusive and unacceptable behavior" of photographers, the Telegraph said.
Look for a test of the new strategy during the Christmas holiday, when the queen and family members celebrate the holiday at Sandringham, her Norfolk estate.
Several freelance photographers usually spend many hours a day in the area in the hope of "snatching" photographs of the royal family on the estate.
