There is also the small matter of the press code which all the newspapers are signed up to, which states: "It is unacceptable to photograph individuals in private places without their consent. Note - Private places are public or private property where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy."

Hotel rooms are private places. Publishing the pics would be a direct contravention of the code.

Buckingham Palace has been quick to remind news organisations of this fact.
