Prince Harry Security Scare

Britain's Prince Harry is at the center of another security scare involving the royal family.

CBS News Correspondent Elizabeth Palmer says a reporter for The Sun newspaper drove into Sandhurst, Britain's elite military academy, where Prince Harry is studying.

Days earlier, claiming to be a student, he had made an appointment by e-mail to visit the academy's library.

Once inside, the reporter roamed the halls and grounds, filming with a hidden camera, at one point getting video of Harry.

Eventually, says Palmer, he took a picture of himself holding a fake bomb, which gave The Sun a screaming headline this morning.

The Sun's managing editor. Graham Dudman, claims there is a higher purpose here than just selling more papers.

"There is not exaggeration to say that, on Tuesday, we could have blown up Prince Harry and Sandhurst without any difficulty at all," Dudman asserts.

If playing "gotcha" with the royals makes Britain more secure, things are getting safer all the time, Palmer points out.

Two years ago, comedian Aaron Barschak crashed Prince William's 21st birthday party.

A reporter from the Daily Mirror got a job in Buckingham Palace as a footman.

And, just before the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles, another reporter from the Sun drove a van containing mock explosives into Windsor Castle.

This latest story, about the unauthorized visit to Sandhurst, has embarrassed British Defense officials, who say they will tighten up security procedures.

The goal, notes Palmer, is to protect the royal family against all unauthorized intrusions -- with tabloid reporters near the top of the list.
