"If you're William, you'd seen your mother basically pursued down the high street by photographers. That would have left a scar on him, it was certainly having an effect on him," MacKenzie explained per Express.
"He wants to protect her, so he effectively invokes the law, there's a European Court of Human Rights law saying everybody has a right to privacy. And he invoked that on Kate's behalf."

Prince William Introduced Kate Middleton To The Public Slowly
The Duke of Cambridge took his time with Kate Middleton. They dated for over five years and split twice before he proposed to her. Due to the long wait, Middleton was dubbed "Kate'sWaity Katie."
However, it seemed that Prince William's move proved helpful for Middleton. Royal commentator Camilla Tominey said it was interesting how Middleton was handled in the early days of her dating life with Prince William. He introduced her to public life "very slowly."
"Unlike Princess Diana, who I think felt she was thrown into the deep end," Tominey said. "I think William wanted to avoid the mistakes of the past, that's why it was a very, very slow drip-feeding of Kate to the press and to the public."
Prince Harry Also Made The Same Move To Protect Meghan Markle
Prince Harry did a similar move when the media came after Meghan Markle after learning that they were together. He released a statement on the royal website and said he was "deeply disappointed" about the incident.
