24. Sophie Rhys-Jones – Media Embarrassment

Another tabloid fiasco led by The Sun, involved Sophie Rhys-Jones when the magazine published a topless photo of her in 1999. Sophie was just months away from marrying Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.

Fortunately, Buckingham Palace released condemning statements that pushed the magazine editor to apologize and promise never to publish a photo of Sophie’s ever again.
