Ban on Kate Middleton Photos in France

 Royals Win First Injunction

The Royals have won their first battle against France's Closer Magazine for the latter's publication of topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. This was only weeks after Prince Harry was photographed naked in Las Vegas.

The Royals have fined the French publication €2000 and given them a day to  hand over the original prints or be fined €10,000 for every day elapsed. An additional €10,000 will be charged daily if the photos are still published.

The photos are were still printed in Italy and Ireland though the latter has had their editor of the Daily Star, Michael O'Kane suspended.

The reason this is more severe than Prince Harry's escapade in Las Vegas is because the Duchess was photographed at her own private residence, away from all eyes except William. With Harry he was in a public place.

Those disappointed with not seeing a nude or semi nude Kate may be satisfied with Playboy photos of her distant Aunt/cousin, Katrina Darling, a Burlesque dancer who is related to Kate by being a second cousin once removed (her grandmother is sister to the duchess’s great grandfather Thomas Harrison.)
