Another Earthquake in the British Royal Household?

Illegal phone tapping is such a nuisance but is a reality in most of the countries. One is by the State…and now by the news hounds.

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of intercepting telephone calls at the official residence of Britain’s Prince Charles, London police said on Tuesday.

The royal correspondent for The News of the World is among the three suspects, the paper said. The alleged phone tapping may have compromised the security of members of the royal family and other public figures outside the royal circle, Scotland Yard said.

The three men, aged 35, 48 and 50, were arrested early on Tuesday in the London area and are being held at a police station in the capital. Scotland Yard’s anti-terrorism branch is leading the investigation.

Prince Charles, his wife Camilla Parker-Bowles and his late wife Diana, Princess of Wales, were targeted by phone tappers in the past, resulting in embarrassing details of their complex private lives being thrust into the public domain.

A tape of a conversation between Charles and Camilla revealed an intimate relationship between the two while Charles was married to Diana.

So do we expect another earthquake in the royal British household?
