The British royal family is apparently facing another scandal related to the publication of explicit photographs. French magazine Closer announced its new release, which is said to feature exclusive topless photographs of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, reports the BBC.
"Oh my God! Photos that will fly around the world... the future Queen of England, as you have never seen her before... and will never see her again,” reads the loud headline on the cover of an as yet unpublished issue of the magazine published on the website. The statement is illustrated by blurry, low-quality frames, according to apparently taken from a great distance and subsequently greatly enlarged. In the photo, however, the famous married couple is visible. In the issue itself, as Closer promises, readers will find 12 more exclusive photographs on two spreads.
Scandalous photos of a young woman sunbathing by the pool were taken during a short vacation of Prince William and his wife at the French castle of the Queen's nephew Lord Lineley in Provence. It is clarified that the British media initially offered to buy them, but they refused the dubious deal.
The possible publication of the French magazine has already been reported to William and Kate, who are on their ten-day tour of the Far East, who in turn issued an official statement in which they noted that they were “saddened by the fact that their privacy was being violated.”
Meanwhile, advisers to the royal family have already recognized the authenticity of the racy photographs and are now negotiating with lawyers and actively discussing everything possible options developments of events. “It is possible that the British royal court will try to impose an international ban on their distribution,” a source at St. James’s Palace, the London residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, told ITAR-TASS. However, it is also possible that Buckingham Palace will allow the publication to be published, leaving it to the public, representatives of the royal family emphasized.
"This is all very sad and takes us back 15 years (to the death of Princess Diana). We have always taken the position that the Duke and Duchess have a right to privacy, especially when they are on vacation in their own pool,” the royal representative concluded.
Meanwhile, French magazine editor Laurence Pugh confidently claims that the exclusive issue will still see the light of day, while ironizing that Prince Harry, whose “naked” photos from a Las Vegas holiday caused a stir earlier this month, will feel “not so lonely" when Closer published pictures of his sister-in-law.
0 14 September 2012, 16:06Scandal: Duchess Catherine topless
And again in the royal family, but this time not, but. Alas, there were paparazzi nearby, who sold the racy pictures (shared by blogger dindilin) to the media.
The incident occurred in France a week before the start of the royal couple, where Catherine and they were relaxing at a chateau in Provence, which belongs to their cousin, Viscount Linley. The couple sunbathed by the pool, swam and enjoyed each other's company, without... Apparently, Katherine was so relaxed that she decided to give in to the temptation of sunbathing topless. However, nosy paparazzi were sitting in the bushes, and pictures of the duchess naked, albeit not very good quality, did not keep us waiting.
They were published by the French tabloid Closer: the British press refused to print compromising photographs, even the most popular and “yellow” publication The Sun, which a month ago did not hesitate to publish pictures of naked Harry.
They refused - and rightly so: the prince and Catherine are shocked and furious (“this is some kind of unacceptable farce”), and are going to sue the magazine for gross interference in privacy. Particularly offensive for the royal couple is the fact that troubles again came from France, because it was here that she died (remember, Lady Di and her companion got into a car accident in Paris when they tried to break away from the photographers pursuing them).
The Duchess and William learned about the incident at breakfast today, where they are on an official visit. And, as the statement says, they were deeply saddened:
Their Royal Highnesses expected respect for their privacy when on holiday. It is unthinkable and unacceptable to take such pictures, let alone publish them.
This incident is reminiscent of the worst episodes when Princess Diana was stalked by paparazzi, and is making the Prince and Duchess more and more worried.
It seems that the royal court's patience has run out, so a trial is not far off:
This cannot go on any longer. They crossed the line.
Catherine and William have every chance of winning this case, experts say. In the UK, publishing such photographs is generally illegal, since photographing people without their permission and on their own territory is prohibited, but in France they won’t pat you on the head for doing this. So, last week the French woman won a lawsuit against a magazine that published photos of her in a bikini. In addition, this case is very delicate:
French judges also take into account the behavior of a person who is caught by surprise. Katherine absolutely looks like a victim, as it is clear that she had no idea about the presence of the paparazzi.
By the way, this is not the first time that the paparazzi have shown disrespect for the personal life of the royal couple. So, just recently, William and Catherine were leaked to the press. Those photographs show Catherine in a swimsuit, and there is nothing criminal in them, but even then the court condemned the publication, and the couple expressed their dissatisfaction. Now the situation is out of control.
Well, we will monitor the developments.

According to British media reports, the couple hope that the publishers of Closer magazine, on the cover and pages of which provocative photographs were published, will compensate them for moral damages.
ON THIS TOPIC
This story happened a long time ago, but ordinary people still remember the luxurious, uncensored story that appeared on the front pages of several tabloids at once.
In 2012, French paparazzi photographed Kate and William relaxing by the pool with a long lens. Middleton was sunbathing topless that day. Photographers also captured how William affectionately coated his wife with sunscreen, and Catherine exposed him to various parts of her body, including her buttocks.
In total, more than 200 shots were taken, some of which photographed the potential future Queen of Great Britain. Reporters captured Middleton, covering herself with a towel, changing out of her swimsuit bottoms on the balcony of a private house.
The British Royal Court condemned the publication of private photographs of the Duchess obtained in this way. William and Catherine themselves called the situation “grotesque” and “beyond the limits of what is permissible.” The British Prime Minister's office also said that members of the royal family "have a right to privacy."
Several people involved in the dissemination of defamatory images will be put on trial in unison: the editor of Closer magazine in France, executive director Ernesto Mauri and the main culprits - photographers Cyril Moreau and Dominique Jacovides. All of these people are accused of invasion of privacy.
Immediately after the publication of these images, there was already one court that banned further distribution of the images. But this order was violated. The Duchess was shown topless on their pages in other European publications, in particular Italian, the Irish newspaper Daily Star and glossy celebrity magazines in Sweden and Denmark. A still naked Kate appeared in the La Provence newspaper, whose employees will also appear in court.
Immediately after the publication of the candid photos, the Duke and Duchess issued a statement in which they admitted that they were “saddened by the fact that their privacy was violated.” Moreover, they said that Catherine was literally seething with indignation. After all, until this moment, Middleton had never in her life found herself in such an awkward situation when her “uncomfortable” photographs could be seen by anyone anywhere in the world.
They said that the published photographs could seriously damage Kate Middleton's impeccable reputation. Others, however, suggested that provocative photographs would only increase Katherine’s popularity rating and give her a “spice.” And so it happened. The British adore their duchess, and she has crowds of fans all over the world.
On the pages of one of the French magazines, nee Kate Middleton appeared. A photographer waylaid a young lady while she was sunbathing on the terrace of a house in Provence. Kate and William spent their holidays there. The publication of the photographs in the UK has already been called a return to the 90s, when the paparazzi were chasing Princess Diana. NTV correspondent Anton Volsky reporting from London.
Buckingham Palace is furious, accusing French journalists of overstepping the mark professional ethics. The French magazine that published the photographs captioned them: “The future queen is like you've never seen her before.”
However, the photo did not turn out to be of very good quality. A woman who looks like Kate Middleton and a man who looks like Prince William can be guessed. These people are not doing anything reprehensible. In one photo, Kate takes off her top part swimsuit, on the other she rubs cream on her husband’s back. It can't be compared to those scandalous photographs, which flew around the world after a drunken party in Las Vegas with the participation of Prince Harry.
Another thing angered Buckingham Palace. The photos appear to have been taken in early September while the Prince and Kate were vacationing in the south of France at a villa owned by Prince William's father's cousin, Prince Charles' brother, on private property. Buckingham Palace called this an interference in the private lives of members of the royal family. However Chief Editor magazine, which published the photographs, says: what is a scandal for England is a normal thing for France.
Lauren Pie, Closer Magazine: “Don't dramatize these photos. The reaction to them is a little disproportionate. What can the reader see on the cover of our magazine? A young couple, they are in love, they are beautiful. She is a princess of the 21st century. She goes out onto the balcony of the mansion topless, just as thousands of girls from all over the world appear on the beaches of southern France. It can be seen from the highway passing very nearby, along which hundreds of cars drive. It can be seen even from the street. There's nothing terrible about these photos. I don’t know of a single tabloid in the world that wouldn’t publish them if they got their hands on these materials.”
There is clearly a difference in worldviews, since, according to some sources, the authors of the photographs first tried to publish them in Great Britain. But not a single newspaper or magazine agreed to this. The fact is that for 15 years now, British journalists have had an unspoken rule prohibiting them from interfering in the private lives of members of the royal family. This rule was introduced after the death of Princess Diana, for which the paparazzi who followed the Mercedes with the princess were partly to blame.
More recently or a long time ago, or more precisely, in 2012, photos of Princess Kate Middleton appeared in some European media. Naturally royal family I didn't like it. Some representatives simply became furious))) These pictures are called
"Photo on the balcony"
The photos were taken on vacation in Provence, on an open balcony. And what can we call it an invasion of privacy if the Princess of Cambridge takes off her top on the balcony, I repeat, an open balcony, and then also changes her panties, and mind you, also on the balcony)))
And then there was an invasion of privacy and legal action, not even by the paparazzi who took extremely bad pictures, but by the publishing houses who published them.
The daughter of Silvio Berlusconi spoke about this even then
- In our work, we adhere to the principles of complete publishing freedom in all cases, even when it comes to top officials of states.
But it seems to me that Kate herself is to blame for this turn of events. She very often finds herself in such delicate situations. Here's a small selection of the Princess of Cambridge's joints. I think if you are a princess, then you need to watch yourself and think with your head like a royal.
The British Queen is concerned appearance Prince William's wife. Elizabeth II insisted that the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton refuse short skirts in favor of more conservative outfits.
Photo during a visit to Australia. Again the wind, again the sparkle of the fifth point)))
In this photo, Kate Middleton returns from her bachelorette party. I'm happy to the point of madness, but I need to move my legs. I saw in the comments to this photo: Kate celebrated her bachelorette party secretly from the paparazzi. What kind of secret is there, there it is all))) Between the legs.
This photo of the princess's bottom with lace panties was taken in London on May 31, 2007. Well, why does it glow like that? Did the correspondents force you to do this?
This was also caught somewhere, but I think it’s just nosy paparazzi, Katya has nothing to do with it. The cunning bastards were caught, one moment and that was it. Run to sell the photo)))
Well, this too, only a side view))))
As the world media write at the flower-laying ceremony at the memorial in New Delhi, the Duchess experienced the Marilyn Monroe effect. Probably everyone remembers the film star on the ventilation grill?
By the way, such a case is not the first to be caught on camera lenses. Previously, Middleton had already unwittingly demonstrated her underwear in public several times. Which, according to rumors, Queen Elizabeth II is terribly angry about, promising to assign a special person to her daughter-in-law who will hold the hem of her dresses.
Well, why the hell would you wear such a dress in windy weather (I think I read this in the comments to the post) The dress is of such a cut that not only will the hem lift up, but you can even fly away.
