"Revealed: Royal Honeymoon secrets" boasts a front page photo caption on the Telegraph today, above a picture of William and Kate, relaxing on a yacht:
But anybody buying the paper on that apparent promise is soon let down, as the Telegraph isn't just misleading this morning, it's also a little bit sanctimonious. Because, reading on, it turns out the long lens shot they have used on the front page is actually from 2006 (that's OK then). There are shots of the honeymoon (not like that) doing the rounds though and the Telegraph has even seen them, it says, but opted not to publish them "out of respect" for the couple's privacy.
Honeymoon paradise
The paper's online headline takes even greater liberties with the truth: "Royal wedding: A peek into royal couple's honeymoon paradise" it claims. It seems the Telegraph wants the traffic and the readership that goes with invading the couple's privacy. It just doesn't want to pay for the photos.
Last month we criticised the People for a wilfully misleading front page - or should that be 'Willsfully misleading', as they claimed to have photos of the royal stag do yet hadn't. It seems though the Telegraph at least liked the cut of their jib.
