 The French press union issued a statement condemning the "publication in a weekly newspaper of photographs claiming to represent a distinguished personality belonging to the family of the chief of state of a friendly nation".The union did not specify "France Dimanche" by name so it was nor clear if the statement referred to it or "Samedi Soir" which had also published the pictures at the time.The newspaper "Ce Matin" called the photographer "irresponsible" and commented that the pictures would cause a scandal in Britain, "not because they showed the splendid figure of the young princess, but because T. C. Harvey, the Queen's private secretary, was wearing a hat while leading the Princess", an action which the newspaper called "a little off-hand".
