The mayor of London Boris Johnson has complained to the PCC after News International’s Thelondonpaper published photographs of him with his four children on holiday in Turkey. The PCC said that the “intrusion has caused some distress to one of his daughters”.

Photographs of the children of celebrities are generally considered off limits by the media unless they are on public business. This has been the position since Princess Caroline won a landmark judgment at the European Court of Human Rights.
