UK newspapers do not report on anyone’s medical issues as per the IPSO rules. Similar rules have been in place since 1992. The only exceptions are with the permission of the subject or if they are selling their medical story, as celebs often do to raise awareness or give the interview fee to charity.
UK newspapers do not photograph children without parental permission, whether the kids of a prince or plumber, which is why children faces get pixelated from, say, Facebook posts. The IPSO rules are worth a read. The reporting of Nicola has been of her struggles with alcohol, not necking bottles, and reported sensitively. The police press conference made the drink/menopause able to be reported.
