Prince Harry wearing a swastika armband was a camphoneshot ?
I followed the headlines of this story in the press like everyone else, but this is the first I've read - in JoongAng Daily - , that the picture of Prince Harry wearing a swastika armband, which broke on the front page of The Sun, was taken by one of the guests at the costume party with a camera phone. The theme of the party was "colonial and native".
"[...] Recently, an amateur paparazzo took a photo of 20-year-old Prince Harry wearing a Nazi uniform. The prince was at a costume party, and one of the attendees there had taken a photo of him with a cell phone camera and sold it to a tabloid. The photo was instantly spread around the world via Internet."
(note from emily) I think this information should be taken with caution, because I've been reading through the UK press and can't seem to find another article on this event that claims the picture was taken with a camera phone.
Picture from the BBC.
