Queen snappish about pix

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II has warned newspapers not to run unauthorized paparazzi photos of the royal family, Buckingham Palace said yesterday. The palace said a lawyer for the British monarch wrote to newspaper editors about six weeks ago telling them not to publish intrusive photos of the family at home. The palace said the letter was sent "in response to many years of the royal family being hounded by photographers on the queen's private property."
