Carla Bruni Sarkozy says no photographs of her child in press

Carla Bruni Sarkozy says she will not allow any photographs of her child to be published in the press,.

France's First Lady, 43, made the announcement on the TF1 program Sept A Huit.

"You don't have a child for the [photo] gallery," said Bruni, insisting that her "position as the wife of the head of state has made me even more defensive. I understand the media interest, and I don't see any inconvenience in it for myself or my husband, but when it concerns the children, it's not impossible."

She added, "I will do everything to protect this infant, and I'll be absolutely rigorous. I will never show photos of this child. I will never expose this child."
