The European Court of Human Rights has rejected a complaint by Princess Caroline of Monaco, in a ruling backing media rights on celebrity reporting. The princess and her husband argued that a photo of the couple on holiday while her father, Prince Rainier, was ill violated their privacy. They took the case to Strasbourg after German courts rejected their argument. But the human rights court upheld the German decision, in a ruling that could affect privacy laws across Europe.
