Photos Of Prince Snatched In Theft
LONDON (Reuters) - A handbag containing private photos of Britain's Prince Charles and his sons William and Harry was stolen from a car belonging to a royal aide, the Sun tabloid reported.
A police spokesman said: ``We can confirm the reported theft of a handbag but we are not disclosing the identity of the person who lost it or the contents.''
The Sun said the handbag was owned by royal aide Tiggy Legge-Bourke and also contained secret information including the confidential phone numbers of senior members of the royal family.
The theft occurred in London's fashionable Chelsea area when Legge-Bourke left a car door open while she was trying to find money for a parking meter, the
tabloid said.
It quoted an unidentified police source as saying the pictures were ``private and very sensitive.''
