Queen bans flash photography

Snap happy Queen Elizabeth has ordered an end to her flashing days, claiming camera bulbs hurt her ageing eyes.

During the monarch's recent trip to Ireland and throughout US President Barack Obama's visit to the UK, the palace ordered that snappers not use flash photography.

"The Queen has finally had enough of it - and she believes the accredited official photographers should be good enough to take pictures of her without having to use a flash," a palace source told Britain's News of the World newspaper on Sunday.

The unnamed source said that the 85-year-old British monarch and Prince Philip, 90, both find the flashes "quite disorientating".

"There is nothing specifically wrong with their eyesight, but Her Majesty has now made her position clear," the source added.

Is it fair she has so much say with the smallest of things?
