Son Of British Singer Adele Wins Privacy Case
British singer Adele's toddler son has won a five-figure sum in damages after paparazzi photographed private family moments.
Adele’s lawyer Jenny Afia said Wednesday
that the Grammy-winning performer was adamant her son Angelo must never
become “public property.”
She said: “It is a matter of profound
sadness that many of his milestone moments, such as his first family
outing and his first trip to playgroup, were photographed and published
worldwide expressly against his family’s wishes.”
Afia said Adele accepts her public profile, but the family never encourages routine photos that intrude on their privacy.
The
damages from the settlement with photo agency Corbis Images UK will be
held in a trust for Angelo, who turns 2 in October, and the agency
agreed not to use the photos again.
