Tony Blair has asked the media to leave Kate Middleton and Prince William alone.

During a BBC interview, Blair called most of the current speculation "complete nonsense", asking for restraint from the media:"I think, in respect of Prince William, they are a young couple. We have had the announcement, fine,

"They should be left alone now without reams of stuff being written that I can assure you, from my experience of royal stories, most of which will be complete nonsense.

"I think, now it has been announced, they should be allowed to get on with their lives.

"My experience of it actually is that what concerns people is not so much the invasion of their privacy as such, because I think most people in public life accept that you are bound to be a public issue and item in that sense.

"I think it is more that usually whatever is discussed about you publicly is surrounded by a whole lot of other stuff that is either unfair or sometimes completely untrue and that is the thing that really gets people down."
