| ROYALS PURSUE PUBLICATIONS, PHOTOGRAPHER OVER NUDE SNAPS |
After several magazines printed semi-nude sunbathing photos of Kate Middleton, the British Royal family is fighting back in court.
The royal legal team is taking aim at both the publications and the unidentified paparazzi. Last week, lawyers began proceedings against French magazine Closer ? the first outlet to run revealing shots of a topless Duchess of Cambridge on vacation with her husband, Prince William, in south of France ? after what St. James?s Palace called a ?grotesque? and ?totally unjustifiable? invasion of privacy. The suit seeks an injunction against the magazine, calling for all issues to be removed from stands and all images withdrawn from its website.
The royals? lawyers also want to prevent Mondadori ? the former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi?s publishing house that owns Closer and Italian magazine Chi, which both printed the images ? from further disseminating the images.
And the royals filed a criminal complaint Monday in a Nanterre, France, court against the as-of-yet unidentified photographer(s), whom the palace claims exploited the privacy of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
