This is an old story, but someone posted it elsewhere in discussions about Prince Andrew. It is another example where he thinks it is funny to cause alarm and damage to other people's property, as a joke.

"The British consulate may pay $1,200 to a photographer whose cameras were sprayed with white paint by Prince Andrew.

Consulate spokesman Angus McKay told UPI Monday that payment is still 'under consideration' and is being discussed with royal family representatives in London.

The prince picked up a paint sprayer during his four-day Southern California visit last week and squirted paint onto American and British journalists and photographers covering the royal tour.

He then wiped his hands on a newspaper and told county Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, 'I enjoyed that.'

Chris Gulker, a photographer with the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, said Monday he was most upset not by the spraying but by the prince's response.

'He didn't say, 'Oh my God, I'm sorry,'' Gulker explained. 'He had such a grin of delight.'"

The Herald Examiner presented the consulate with a $1,200 bill the same day, saying that would cover costs of replacing equipment owned by the newspaper and the photographer.

A Buckingham Palace official, meanwhile, said a report that Queen Elizabeth might personally compensate reporters was 'pure speculation.'

  1. DM using the same photo as the other article you posted is sending me

  2. There is a video of Harry from years ago where he – unprovoked – put his coloured palm onto the bald head of Arthur Edward, a royal photographer.

    Royals and their inability to understand decency :/
