Flash, bang, wallop - what a picture!

Can't understand all this fuss about Thingy's father and these photographs.  It seems to be being suggested that, because these were presented as candid snaps, the fact that it has now been shown that they were deliberately posed is somehow shameful and reflects badly upon Thingy herself.  But why?  The majority of photos in the press are posed, to a greater or lesser extent.  Why should these be treated differently.  The media seem to have had an unhealthy interest in this bloke ever since the couple got together and I don't think "hounded" is too strong a word.  I wish him well.
