British royals to sue over topless photos
Britain’s newest royal couple, Prince William and his wife Catherine, have launched legal action against a French magazine that printed topless photographs of her.
The publication of the pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge, formerly known as Kate Middleton, taken while she and the second in line to the throne were on holiday in the south of France, evoked memories of the press harassment of William’s mother Diana.
Palace officials said the royals, who are currently visiting Malaysia, considered the pictures published by the French version of Closer magazine to be a “grotesque” breach of privacy.
The Duchess’ top is clearly naughtier than Prince Henry’s bottom.

I did have to ask myself why, in a world with potentially runaway climate change, a world absurdly overpopulated, half of it starving, where bloated plutocrats display grotesque indifference to human suffering and self serving politicians pander to the infantile demands of an entrenched elite and where egregious religious lunatics run riot over every imagined insult, why the BBC News chose today to lead on a story about the disturbed privacy of an over-privileged royal non-entity on a paid holiday, is it me or did they get this story totally out of proportion?
Why does anyone have kings and queens anymore?
@chas. Well we do need SOMEONE to open those supermarkets…
Practice safe government, use a kingdom!
