Lady Louise 21st birthday - end of privacy?

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

So first of happy 21st birthday to Lady Louise!

I wouldn’t have even realised save for seeing a few articles online showing her celebrating with her boyfriend. The photos have been credited to Facebook and shows her posing for a photo and looking into the camera, but also a photo of her posing for a selfie and not seeming to be aware someone is photographing her. It looks like the media have been trawling through her/friends Facebook accounts or else someone has sold her out. Is this is now that she is 21? Is she not entitled to privacy any more? Is she going to get stalked and papped from now on?

The Counsellors of State don't have to be working royals. The Countess of Southesk and the Earl of Harewood weren't working royals but were on the list of counsellors of state until closer relations came of age.

The changes with Anne and Edward being added are purely a PR thing - there's no chance the royals can risk something happening like happened in 1974 when QEQM and Princess Margaret were the ones who officially dissolved Parliament for the election while QEII was in Australia.

Imagine the social media fall out of "Andrew and Beatrice call election"

They also like to have a bit of contingency for the very worst case scenario and will be considering what happens if something happened to Charles and William before George is 18 and the next 4 of age were Harry, Andrew, Beatrice and Eugenie. Not because the four wouldn't be able to manage the CoS and/or Regency workload, but because the PR of it would be a disaster.
