its from a phone video isn't it?

If it was taken by a member of the public rather than an official source and the press paid that member of the public for the photo or video, then it's a pap shot.

Essentially, that's what a paparazzi is... Just a member of the public with a camera.

No, a paparazzi shot is taken by a person who makes their employment by selling images to press agencies and or media

not a random who just happened to be there on the day and the press contacted them and accessed/paid for their images

It’s just more rambling from sb

We are police because we can all make a citizen’s arrest just nonsense

Tbh I do think there is a difference between some rando spotting a public figure, and a "professional" pap - the line is fine, but it's there.

But also, not to go all "slippery slope", but accepting a photo or video from the former once may lead to more being accepted, until they "may as well" accept them from the paps.

this isn't a pap, it was a member of the public, and she was in a public space, its not someone with a long lens taking a picture of her in the bath fgs :hee: I wouldn't be
surprised if they got permission from the Palace to run this just to shut up the frothing mob, you really have come unstuck :laugh:

.

Paparazzi are not "employed" or "professional", they are freelance members of the public who sell or try to sell photographs to the press on a self-employed basis. The "line" is literally if money has changed hands between a publication and a "photographer" for their photograph or footage.

What would make the difference here:

1) If they weren't trying to film them and simply happened to catch something in the background (clearly not the case it is an intentional video)

2) If they gave the picture to the press for free and no money changed hands (unknown but HIGHLY unlikely)


Neither of those things seem to be the case, so while the person filming has done it as a one-off and so they are not "a paparazzi", the footage can nonetheless be described as "paparazzi footage". Whether it was taken by someone who does it for a living or an opportunistic cash grab one-off is largely irrelevant.

That said - for what it's worth - I don't think it actually is a member of the public, I think it was staged and recorded deliberately to then "leak" to the press as spontaneous public footage in an attempt to stop all of the speculation. Some bright spark probably came up with it in the round-table brainstorming session they will have had after the hilariously failed photoshop attempts.

Apparently the ‘pap’ has been found out to be somebody that actually works within the palace communication team so

I am sure Kate appreciates your relief that she is safe and well @SB and Liam...

er....is this from X or do you have a verified source for this tidbit?

The picture agency says it has added an editor's note to the image, which was shared by Kensington Palace in April 2023 on what would have been the late Queen's 97th birthday.


digitally enhanced????? who knew this was happening in 2024 :omgno:

Yes After the Queen has gone
It was on CH5HD AM Live
2 weeks back

Unbelievable, how naive do people have to be to think this is real?

:laugh:

the picture at the back is squint

FAKE

Nice Kate bought Fresh Farm Food
on Saturday.

Fella filmed it from his car
he bumped into them in the shop.

He then got paid by the Sun
for his NON HD video

TMZ USA also paid for the rights of the Image
and short video

In all seriousness though having a look at that original picture, I don't think the queen is actually there at all... so by "enhanced" I think they mean they took a pic of the grandkids and popped Her Maj in the middle from a separate image? It's much better done than the Kate one and I can sort of appreciate the reasons it will have been done this way, but it's still sort of... weird. It really highlights that pictures like this (the elderly Queen with all of the kiddos around her) are purely for PR and not a reflection at all on the reality of the family which is, no doubt, actually more interesting. Why make pictures like this? Who is it for? Why not just say, Elizabeth was old and she wanted to have a cuppa with her feet up and couldn't be arsed posing with the children :hee:.

Apparently Arista had a 100gb update last night and has only just finished rebooting?

FOOKING HELL,lol WHO CARES Im sure people have other things in their lives .

It makes me laugh though that just a couple of days ago apparently she’s so unready to reappear in public that she’s sat in bed recovering from abdominal surgery that she has time to sit and edit photographs to try and trick the public, but now she’s suddenly so much better she’s frolicking through farmers markets in public without a care in the world and her apparently ever so doting husband, is allowing her to carry bags by herself after such a harrowing medical ordeal, they need to pick a narrative and stick to it if they’re intent on carrying on this nonsense

We're on a reality TV programme's forum. Imagine if on-season we just went around every thread in the Big Brother section saying "Oh fook who cares about these randoes don't we all have better things to do!!"

Like... yes, everyone has more important things in their lives. Did you have a point?

SHe has to carry the bag to prove that she's not dying Liam... and William has to be with her to prove that they're not estranged due to pegging affairs and whatnot. Allegedly Ellegedly ellegedleh etc etc.
