[英伦广角] 2015-07-25 英国女王儿时“纳粹礼”照片被曝光 《太阳报》是否犯罪

 We of course have gone great lengths to make the point, but this is not a reflection on the Queen mom or the Queen, both of whom demonstrated their heroism¹ as your video quite rightly demonstrates during the blitz, during the second world war, they became icons² of this country and correctly so, but that doesn't take away from the basic position that a piece of historically interesting and valid³ footage has come our way, it's in the public and national interests in my view quite simply to publish it.

Do you think that the way you have handled it that their royal highnesses that simply is a bit cheap really and you know shock provoking?

The nature of the tabloid⁴ newspapers, the nature of the Sun in particular is we do punchy attention, grabbing headlines as we've done so in this case, but the context has made manifestly clear on the rest of the front page, and actually if you go through the paper, the first spread details of the nature of the footage, the second details the rise of fascism and the colorful to put Margaret and Edward VIII and the third set outs the hero context of the Queen and Queen mom's behaviour in the blitz, and indeed the Queen's role in reconciling the countries of Germany and Britain thereafter, so I think the nature of this, the nature of the coverage⁵ as a whole places this in the correct cultural context.
