'Minder' to stop paparazzi from taking Kate's sneaky pics

A female "minder" will accompany Kate Middleton to stop unscrupulous photographers and members of the public from taking sneaky shots of the fashion-loving British Royal.
The "minder" will accompany the 32-year-old Duchess of Cambridge on shopping trips and stand guard outside changing rooms while she tries on clothes, the Daily Star reported.
The Duchess was horrified this week when a German newspaper printed a sneaky picture of her.
The photographer had clicked his shutter just as the future queen's dress billowed up in a gust of wind on a visit to Sydney's Blue mountains during her official tour of Australia last month.

"Kate will now be watched all the time. We can't afford any more embarrassing photos like this," a royal source was quoted as saying by the daily.
British newspapers refused to print the photo, saying it was in bad taste and an invasion of Kate's privacy.

However, the editor of Bild splashed it in the German tabloid.
The Palace officials are now worried that Kate might fall prey to more sneaky shots taken by unscrupulous professional photographers or by opportunistic members of the public using their mobile phone cameras, the daily said.
Until recently, Kate would happily sneak off to High Street stores to look for clothes, leaving her bodyguard standing outside while she browsed.

She would pop into changing rooms on her own to try on new frocks, trousers and tops, but now she will have to be more careful, the report said.
Kate and husband Prince William have faced frequent battles to protect their privacy and modesty by preventing the publication of photographs.
The most notable case that created a furore in Britain was when topless pictures of Kate appeared in a French magazine in September 2012 taken on their holiday to a Provence Chateaux.
The couple launched legal proceedings and issued a statement saying: "They have been hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and unjustifiable manner."

They were also snapped on their honeymoon in the Seychelles and on their holiday to Mustique when Kate was pregnant with George.
