On Friday September 14, a french magazine published photos of what looks like Prince William's wife Kate sunbathing topless at a private house in southern France.
According to officials the royal family seriously considered taking legal action for a "grotesque and totally unjustifiable" invasion of privacy.
Officials have also said that the couple was deeply saddened by the photos, along with others:
"Their Royal Highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house. It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them," a St. James's Palace official in London said. "The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to the Duke and Duchess for being so."
