While reading I was struck by the similarities between this case and that of <a href="http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2006/522.html" rel="nofollow"> HRH Prince of Wales V Associated Newspapers</a>, although in the latter the element of copyright was more significant.<br />On the subject of the unresolved issue of Prince Albert's locus standi (top of column 2 on page 346) was it not the case that in the mid nineteenth century a married woman had few if any property rights and thus if one assumes Queen Victoria was involved in her private capacity, Prince Albert would have been entitled to bring a suit on her behalf also. I pray in aid of this contention, part of a <a href="http://www.archive.org/stream/marriedwomenspr00macmgoog#page/n21/mode/2up" rel="nofollow"> speech made by Russell Gurney QC MP</a> in moving the second reading of the Married Women's Property Bill of 1870: "<i>Up to this time the property of a wife had had no protection from the law, or rather, he should say, in the eye of the law it had no existence. From the moment of her marriage the wife, in fact, possessed no property; whatever she might up to that time have possessed by the very act of marriage passed from her, and [...] became at once the property of her husband.</i>" <br />If I may make one final, impertinent, comment, it is good to see that your prose style now has a much lighter touch!Andy Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-73141754234884663092011-11-03T23:06:56.122+00:002011-11-03T23:06:56.122+00:00--- ".... all unpurrforated ...."
