Title: What is the Point
Post by: Scunner on January 12, 2012, 18:54:07 PM

"A court in Turkey has brought charges against the Duchess of York for secretly filming orphans in the country for a television documentary. The Duchess visited the orphanage near Ankara while making a film for the ITV Tonight programme in 2008. The court accused her of going "against the law in acquiring footage and violating privacy" of five children".

Just what is to be gained by this? She won't appear and nothing will happen - so why cause the scene in the first place? Once again Turkey just looks like an amateur or spoilt child on the World stage :-\
