Let's Say Prince William Killed Some Paparazzi?

Question

One of these nights, they're just harassing and/or chasing him and his girlfriend, and he turns his armor-plated Bentley around and just plows into a crowd of paps, crushing them under his wheels, then backs up over them 4 or 5 times, squashing 10 of them like bugs on the concrete.

My question is this - given that there is unquestionably no judge or jury in the world that would possibly convict him of anything except possibly littering or making an illegal u-turn, would he even be charged? I seriously doubt it, what do you think?

Answer 1

William has been taught since birth to be mellow and calm due to his being the future king,and everything he does is scrutinized. So saying that I say that he would never be put in that position and he never would think of that as a solution.

Answer 2

I found it unbelievable that paparazzi would still behave this way - but you know why they do? Because editors will buy their work because some feeble minds have to know every minute of his day.

Sadly, if he did run over some of them there would still be a huge outcry from the who-do-these-royal-think-they-are-crowd, who would then somehow blame him for the death of Diana. He is in a damned-if-he-does, damned-if-he-doesn't situation.

But there's nothing to stop anonymous people on the street from coming to the protection of the Prince from these camera totting people who could be terrorists ...

Answer 3

No, I think if anything he would have a lot of sympathy pouring in and hypothetically I say Harry would kill some paparazzi before William does because Harry is very upfront with the paparazzi and there's reports of him hitting or punching them.

Answer 4

I had this conversation while watching the news this Friday teatime. I said I would just run some of them down. Great minds think alike! But because he is the future King and educated to be a gentleman, I doubt the situation would ever arise. Thoughts cannot be prooved and there is no law against that.

Answer 5

I honestly don't know but your question made us laugh hysterically!!  Thank You!
